Your first letter mails free via USPS First-Class Mail on the ship date you choose at checkout. If you'd like tracking, it can be added as an optional upgrade โ and orders that include a keepsake tin always ship with tracking.
The remaining 23 letters are sent by regular mail, which is how we keep each envelope feeling like a real letter from a friend. If a date falls on a holiday or USPS slows down, we may shift a mailing by a few days. We'll always note any changes in our mailing-date emails.
