# Mail a document today

Upload a PDF or write a letter online. Qualifying U.S. Express mailings submitted before 10 AM Eastern can be printed and handed off for same-business-day USPS mailing.

## How it works
1. **Upload your PDF** - Select the document you want printed and mailed.
2. **Confirm addresses** - Add sender and recipient details with address validation.
3. **Choose fast mailing** - Pick the available USPS option that fits the deadline.
4. **Checkout** - PostalForm prints, prepares postage, and hands qualifying orders to USPS.


## Pricing
Pricing

Pricing depends on page count, print options, and the selected USPS service. Express and other fast mailing options cost more than standard First Class. The exact total is shown before payment.


## Key takeaways
- Upload a PDF and continue directly into the mailing flow.
- Orders submitted before 10 AM Eastern may qualify for same-business-day processing.
- Express mailing options are available at checkout for time-sensitive documents.
- Delivery timing depends on the selected USPS service and destination.
- Same-business-day processing is not same-day delivery.

## Quick facts
- **Best for:** urgent letters, signed documents, deadline packets, and forms that need fast USPS handoff
- **Cutoff:** submit before 10 AM Eastern for same-business-day processing eligibility
- **Fast option:** Express mailing, shown at checkout when available
- **Coverage:** Supported destination countries; same-day USPS handoff applies only to qualifying U.S. Express mail
- **Proof:** Certified Mail is available with First Class, not Express

## What same-business-day processing means
Same-business-day processing means PostalForm can print, prepare, and hand off qualifying mailings to USPS the same business day when the order is submitted before the cutoff. USPS controls transit and delivery after acceptance.

This is different from same-day delivery. PostalForm is not a courier service, and USPS delivery timing depends on the selected service, destination, weekends, holidays, and postal operations.

## Before the 10 AM Eastern cutoff
Use this option when the mailing task cannot wait:

- A signed document needs to leave today.
- A form packet is close to a deadline.
- A letter needs faster USPS handling than standard First Class.
- You do not have time to print, buy postage, or visit the post office.

Upload the final PDF if you already have it. If the letter is still being drafted, use the plain-letter flow and choose a fast mailing option during checkout.


## FAQs
- **Is this same-day delivery?** No. It is same-business-day processing and USPS handoff for qualifying orders submitted before the cutoff.
- **What is the cutoff?** 10 AM Eastern for same-business-day processing eligibility.
- **Can I use Certified Mail with Express?** No. Certified Mail is available with First Class only.
- **Can Express require a signature?** Yes. Choose signature required at checkout if the recipient needs it.
- **What if I miss the cutoff?** The order can still be submitted, but same-business-day processing may not be available.
