USPS
Express Mail is the fastest (and most expensive) service level
available through the USPS. For destinations with only a PO Box or
military address this is the only express level of service available.
Because the Post Office delivers mail on Saturdays, there is no Saturday
Delivery fee for using their express service. Express service will
generally guarantee a package to be there the next day, though 2nd day
delivery may be the fastest option for more rural areas and next day
service may require that the package be delivered to the post office by
10:30 am. You can use the Commitment Guide on the USPS website to check the transit time and drop off time (based on zip code).
Priority Mail
Delivery is made in an average of 2 to 3 days depending on recipient
location. This service will deliver to PO Boxes and military addresses.
Unlike UPS and FedEx services Saturday and residential deliveries are no
extra cost with this service. Maximum weight is 70 lbs, and maximum
dimensions are 108 inches in length and girth combined. Priority mail
does not provide tracking (additional services such as certified are available if needed).
Standard Post
This rate is intended for small and large packages, thick envelopes
and tubes containing gifts and merchandise. Rates are based on weight,
distance, and shape. A surcharge applies to certain items, including
packages weighing over 35 lbs (25 lbs for books and printed matter) and
certain shapes (e.g. tubes, rolls, and large packages).
Certified

Insurance coverage is not provided as part of the Certified service.
When you use Certified Mail, you can receive a receipt stamped with the
date of mailing and tracking number. To receive this official record of
the Post Office's acceptance of your mailpiece, you must leave the
detachable receipt ATTACHED. An official postmark is required should you
need to make a claim regarding your Certified piece. A unique article

is maintained by the Post Office. For an additional fee, you can request
a copy of the signature record before or after delivery with return receipt.
Shaded areas are required information. Place slip immediately to the
right of the return address along the top edge of the envelope (this
leaves enough room for postage - we require a 1" x 3" space in the top
right corner) or on the back of a #10 envelope.

postcards, letters, large envelopes, and small packages. Maximum weight

confirmation will require priority service and will cost more than a
first class item with certification). Available with Priority Mail, Standard Post, and Media Mail. Not available for APO/FPO destinations (military addressed) and U.S. territories and possessions. Information can be verified online here.
