Priority Mail: We hand off orders you place after 11:55 AM ET on Friday, or anytime during the weekend, to the USPS on the following Monday.
First Class & Certified Mail: We give orders you place after 7:55 PM ET on Friday, or anytime during the weekend, to the USPS on the following Monday.

Understanding Production vs. USPS Transit Time

It’s important to distinguish between our production time and the USPS’s delivery time.

“Handoff to USPS” means we printed, assembled, and delivered your mail piece to the United States Postal Service. They process and deliver it.
“USPS Transit Time” is the additional time the USPS takes to deliver the mail piece to its final destination. This begins after our handoff.
