Critical Mail: That's the Ticket!

Critical Mail is tailored for customers requiring cost-effective mailing solutions for important documents in many types of businesses, including those in the entertainment, financial services, membership services, and tourism industries. Event tickets, identification documents, stored-value cards, education transcripts, and urgent direct mail messages are but a few of the items ideally suited for Critical Mail.

Available to customers who qualify for Commercial Plus pricing or who have signed a customer commitment agreement, Critical Mail is an automation-compatible product requiring use of an authorized postage payment system. Critical Mail features 1- to 3-day delivery depending on destination, with Track & Confirm service included at no extra cost. Extra services such as Signature Confirmation and Insurance are available.

Critical Mail requires use of USPS-supplied envelopes at a mailing cost of $3.50 for letters (5 ¾” x 9”) and $4.25 for larger, flat-size pieces (9” x 12”). Flat rates apply, regardless of domestic destination for Critical Mail letters (up to 3.0 oz. and 1/4” thick) and Critical Mail Flats (up to 13 oz. and 3/4” thick). More details can be found online at usps.com/shipping/criticalmail.htm.
