USPS has expanded the roll out of their new service, Informed Delivery. This service is a free program allowing users to register an email address. This enables our users to get daily electronic updates regarding their postal mail. Users who sign up for the program will receive an email each morning with an actual size, black and white image of the front of the letter and cards to be delivered to their mailbox that day.

“CaseMail already provides digital proofs of mailing when our users send Postal mail using our service. However, we are very excited about Informed Delivery by USPS, as this provides recipients of these mailings, another level of verification.” -CaseMail CEO, Joe Ruiz.

Joe went on to explain what CaseMail users can expect. ““We plan to provide our users the ability to incorporate Informed Delivery by USPS with their CaseMail account as part of their correspondence management tools.”
