Certified mail

Can I type a letter online and have it mailed?

Updated · By the SendMyLettersOnline team

Yes. You can type a letter in your browser, enter the sender and recipient addresses, preview it as a printed page, and pay; a print-and-mail service then prints it on paper and mails it by USPS. You need no printer, envelope, stamp or post office trip, and you can send it from a phone or computer.
