7. Frequently Asked Questions
Electronic Filing of Certified Mail
1. What is the benefit of electronically filing Cer ti fied
Mail?
Similar to Delivery and Signature Confirmation, our
system transfers tracking in for ma tion about Cer ti fied
Mail to the Post Office. This information is matched
with actual delivery in for ma tion, and is sent back for
posting on our web site at:
www.pb.com
Using the Delivery Tracking System on our web site,
you have complete access to de liv ery information.
2. Can I use the information on the web site in court
as proof of mailing or delivery of a mail piece us-
ing Certified Mail, Delivery Con fir ma tion or Sig-
na ture Confirmation?
Our mailing systems provide quick and con ve nient
access to delivery information. We make no claims
regarding “legal proof” when you use our mailing prod-
ucts to process USPS Special Services.
3. Do I get a discount for electronically filing Cer ti fied
Mail using my mailing system?
No. A major benefit of using the mailing system is web
track ing of First-Class Mail. Prices for Cer ti fied Mail
are not discounted with elec tron ic filing (as is the case
with Delivery Confirmation and Sig na ture Con fir ma-
tion).

to First Class Mail and Certified Mail?
