Who delivers certified mail

In the United States, certified mail is typically delivered by the United States Postal Service (USPS). The USPS is responsible for delivering mail and packages, including certified mail, to addresses across the country.

Certified mail is a type of mail that requires a signature upon delivery, and it is often used for important documents, packages, and letters that require proof of delivery. The USPS uses a tracking system to monitor the delivery of certified mail, and it provides a receipt to the sender that includes the delivery status and a signature from the recipient.

Here are some key facts about certified mail delivery:

1. The USPS delivers certified mail Monday through Saturday, except for holidays.
2. Certified mail is typically delivered between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. local time.
3. The USPS uses a variety of delivery methods, including:
   • Door-to-door delivery: The mail carrier delivers the certified mail to the recipient's doorstep.
   • Mailbox delivery: The mail carrier deposits the certified mail in the recipient's mailbox.
   • PO box delivery: The certified mail is delivered to the recipient's PO box.
4. The USPS provides a tracking number for certified mail, which allows the sender to track the delivery status of the mail.
5. The USPS also provides a signature upon delivery, which serves as proof of delivery.

It's worth noting that while the USPS is the primary provider of certified mail delivery in the United States, there may be other private carriers that offer similar services. However, the USPS is the largest and most widely used provider of certified mail delivery in the country.
