Not USPS

This website is not the United States Postal Service and is not affiliated with USPS. USPS, Certified Mail, Forever, and Notice 123 name retail services. We use those words so you can match the published table.

Rates change

Fees and stamp counts come from published USPS retail schedules. Rates change. Check the charge at a retail counter before you mail.

Not legal advice

Numbers on this site are estimates from the dated Notice 123 file. Nothing here is legal, tax, or regulatory advice.

For court filings, IRS mail, eviction notices, and other date-sensitive legal mail, take the piece to a clerk and get a round-dated postmark on PS Form 3800. A self-affixed label in a collection box is weaker proof of the mailing date.

Certified Mail is not faster mail

Certified Mail gives you a mailing receipt and a record of delivery. It does not speed the piece up. In transit it is handled as ordinary First-Class Mail.

Standard disclosure notice
