Certified mail
Is there a service that prints and mails a letter for me?
Updated · By the SendMyLettersOnline team
Yes. Online print-and-mail services (SendMyLettersOnline, and others such as Click2Mail, LetterStream, Mailform, PostalMethods, Lob and PostGrid) take a letter you type or upload, print it, put it in an envelope with postage and hand it to USPS, usually as First-Class Mail or Certified Mail. Some are built for one-off consumer letters, others are APIs for businesses that mail in bulk.
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| All-in price per letter (printing + postage + certified fee) | Some quote postage separately |
| Pages included and price per extra page | Long letters change the total |
| Certified Mail and electronic return receipt available | Needed for legal notices |
| Type in the browser vs PDF upload only | No Word or printer needed if you can type |
| Account or subscription required | One-off senders may not want a plan |
| Proof of mailing and tracking sent to you | Your evidence if the letter is disputed |
Consumer services vs APIs
Lob and PostGrid are mainly developer APIs that businesses connect to their software. Consumer-facing services let you write or upload a single letter and pay once. Check each provider's current pricing and features on their own site; they change often.

- Choose First-Class ($3.99), Certified ($14.99) or Certified + return receipt ($17.99); up to 3 pages included.
