The return receipt mail from USPS!
A return receipt is a proof of delivery document that provides evidence of when and where a mailpiece was delivered. Here's how to request a return receipt from USPS:
Types of Return Receipts:
- Signature Confirmation: This is the most common type of return receipt. It requires the recipient to sign for the mailpiece, and the USPS will provide a confirmation of delivery.
- Electronic Return Receipt: This is an electronic version of the signature confirmation. The recipient will receive an email with a confirmation of delivery, and you'll receive a copy of the receipt.
- Return Receipt Card: This is a paper-based return receipt that requires the recipient to sign and return the card to you.
How to Request a Return Receipt:
- Online: Go to the USPS website (www.usps.com) and click on "Track & Confirm" at the top of the page. Enter your tracking number and select "Request a Return Receipt" from the drop-down menu.
- At a Post Office: Visit a local post office and ask the clerk to add a return receipt to your mailpiece. They will provide you with a form to fill out and attach to the mailpiece.
- When Mailing: You can also request a return receipt when mailing a package at a post office. Just let the clerk know you want to add a return receipt to your mailpiece.
Cost:
The cost of a return receipt varies depending on the type of receipt and the weight of the mailpiece. Here are the current rates:
- Signature Confirmation: $1.75 (up to 70 lbs)
- Electronic Return Receipt: $1.75 (up to 70 lbs)
- Return Receipt Card: $3.50 (up to 70 lbs)
Tips:
- Make sure to request a return receipt at the time of mailing, as it cannot be added later.
- Keep in mind that a return receipt is not a guarantee of delivery, as the USPS is not responsible for lost or undeliverable mailpieces.
- If you're sending a package to a business, you may want to consider using a signature confirmation or electronic return receipt to ensure delivery.
