KiteCourier vs Going to the Post Office

You can still send certified mail the old-fashioned way—print your letter, drive to the post office, wait in line, fill out the green card. Or you can upload your document to KiteCourier and be done in 2 minutes.

The quick version

KiteCourier is for you if:

  • You don't want to drive to the post office
  • You don't have time to wait in line
  • You want tracking and proof stored online automatically

The Post Office makes sense if:

  • You're already going there for something else
  • You prefer handling the paperwork yourself
  • You want to pay with cash
