Certified Mail has a variety of services that let you submit and mail your certified mailings via the Internet.

What is It?
Through NetPost Mailing Online, you can create Certified Mail letters on your computer, and include optional return receipts, with or without restricted delivery. Whether you’re sending one letter or thousands, orders received by 2:00 p.m. EST are typically processed and mailed the next business day.

How Does it Work?
To begin, start with the document you want to mail. You can either upload a previously created letter, or create a new document online with our document editor. Next, upload your address list or create one online. We instantly standardize your addresses according to USPS guidelines and inform you of the results before you mail. Once you’ve reviewed your document and mailing list online, you choose your mailing options, pay online with your credit card, and your mailing will be securely printed and mailed.

We handle the preparation of the required certified mailing forms for each and every piece of mail and ensure their secure entry into the U.S. Mail. Your Certified Mail is then delivered to your recipients by the United States Postal Service.

How Much Does it Cost?
Prices include printing, postage and Certified fees, but vary with the printing and delivery options you select. An online estimator is available to help calculate your costs before you start.

How Do I Pay?
Payments can be made using a major credit card or direct bank debit.

What Are My Mailing Options?

  • 8-1/2" x 11" paper (up to 24 double-sided sheets), printed in black and white or full color, and inserted into your choice of:
    – #10 letter envelopes (4 sheet maximum) or
    – 9" x 12" flat envelopes
  • 8-1/2" x 11" trifold self-mailers printed in full color

Tracking and Confirming?
Mailing Online provides users with online access to Postal Service scan event tracking information for their Certified Mail at no additional charge.
