Did you know that the US Postal Service processes nearly 430 million different pieces of mail each day? Interestingly, many people are unaware that they can create postage labels online. The good news is that Certified Mail Labels makes printing USPS Certified Mail, Priority Mail, and Express Mail shipping labels with USPS Postage easy.
The best part? Users get to skip the trip to the Post Office saving them time and $3.15 on each Certified letter sent.
To help you get started, we've put together a shipping label guide that has key information you need to know. Let's take a closer look.

As an added level of fraud protection, we require those who wish to purchase more than $25 worth of postage on a daily basis to verify their account. This is a brief process that you can complete over the phone by contacting our Florida-based Customer Support Team.
It is important to note that, unlike other online label creators, there are no monthly fees or contracts associated with Certified Mail Labels.
Money will only be deducted from your balance whenever you create a shipping label.

What Are Common Mistakes That People Make?
Although this process is straightforward, there are some common mistakes people make when using the shipping label template. One of the most common is not double-checking all keyed information before printing or sending the labels.
This could result in packages being delivered to incorrect addresses or returned due to incomplete information. Additionally, it's important that users enter the accurate number of pages and envelope sizes for their mailings to accurately calculate the cost of postage.
Finally, make sure that all labels are securely attached to the package they correspond with. If a label is not properly secured, it can become detached during transit and result in the package being lost or delayed.
To avoid this issue, make sure labels are placed on packages correctly and firmly sealed with packing tape.
The last thing you want is for your package to become lost or delayed due to incorrect labeling.
