Rush or Expedite Your Mailing

Getting Started

The processing option you select determines how quickly LetterStream prints, prepares, and hands your mailing to USPS or FedEx. It does not change how quickly the carrier delivers it.

These options impact our processing time; they do not impact or speed up the delivery time. Depending on your urgency, you can choose from three processing options that fit your schedule and needs.

Processing Options Explained


  • Mailed within 2 business days (Normal Processing)
  • Mailed within 1 business day (Expedite Processing)

Note: These options do not change USPS delivery speed—only how quickly your mailing leaves our facility.
