Is There a Certified Mail Alternative That’s Faster Than USPS? Yes, it’s FedEx 2Day, and we offer it here at LetterStream. Keep reading to learn more.
Certified Mail Is Great—Until Time’s Not on Your Side
Certified Mail has its place. It’s reliable. It’s trackable. It’s legally recognized.
But if you’ve ever waited days—sometimes a week or more—for a Certified Mail letter to land, you’ve probably asked:
“Is there something faster?”
Because when a deadline is staring you down or a document needs to be in hand yesterday, even USPS can feel slow.
That’s where FedEx 2Day® through LetterStream comes in.
