First Class Mail Tracking

First Class mail tracking on your USPS Letter mail and Flat mail for just $.18 per envelope

Add a first class mail tracking barcode to your letter mail, flat mail, and bubble mail for as little as $.18 per mailpiece. Simply enter the recipients address or import a list of names and addresses from a file. Print directly to envelopes of various sizes(#10, A6, A7, and A9) or address labels and apply regular postage to your envelopes. LetterTrack adds an Intelligent Mail Barcode(also known as USPS Informed Visibility® Mail Tracking) above the address block which provides you with the ability to track your mail as it is being sent through the postal system. When a mailpiece reaches the destination post office to be placed on a USPS postal truck for delivery, the mailpiece is marked as Out for Delivery. Since the USPS has now geo-fenced most of the mailboxes in the US and has also equipped their mail carriers with geo-enabled devices, the final tracking event for most envelopes will be Delivered in Mailbox. This tracking event indicates the exact date/time that a postal truck containing an envelope with an Informed Visibility barcode for a specific address has traveled past the mailbox for that address.  Your mail will reach the recipient in 3 to 5 business days since it is being sent via First Class mail.

Most companies use First Class Mail to send their printed material or products in envelopes of various sizes.

The maximum weight limit for sending letters with First Class Mail is 3.5oz. The maximum weight limit for sending flats with First Class Mail is 13oz. The delivery time for First Class Mail items is 3 to 5 business days. Letter sized envelopes must be 1/4 inches thick or less, have a consistent thickness across the envelope, and weight less than 4oz.

We can also add your logo to the real time tracking emails that are sent from our system for consistent branding to your customers.
