The rates listed below reflect the USPS® price increase in effect in August 2021. There will be no changes to First-Class Mail, Certified Mail or any of their other mailing products on January 2022.
First-Class Mail®
Use First-Class Mail® for lightweight letters up to 3.5 oz. and flats up to 13 oz. that need to be delivered in 1 to 3 business days.
Certified Mail®:
There have been two major price increases to Certified Mail® this year. The silver lining: You can reduce the impact on your business by using an online solution like
ConnectSuite e-Certify. With e-Certify,
you’ll use an electronic Return Receipt and save $1.20 on every Certified Mail® piece. You can save nearly 38% on all Certified Mail® costs.
Breaking it down, as of August 29, 2021 it will cost $7.38 to send a First-Class Letter as Certified Mail® with a hard copy Return Receipt:
- $0.58 for the Postage
- $3.75 for Certified Mail® fee
