Schedule Future Mailings

The LetterStream website allows you to create letters and schedule them to be mailed at a later date.

By selecting a date in the future, your job will be processed and held for future mailing on that exact day! You mush select a business day that is more than 2 days into the future and less than 6 months away. Our system will not allow you to include a weekend or holiday.

If you want your mailing(s) to go out the fastest way possible, you should choose the expedite or rush options in the shopping cart. 

If you’d like to use the scheduling feature, it’s available under the My Jobs section of the website.  First, you'll need to create your mailing. After it's approved and paid for, select the blue Edit link under the Options column while on the My Current and Completed Jobs page. This will bring up a series of options, including Change Schedule Date.  

Here are a few scenarios in which the Change Schedule Date option can be particularly useful:

Example 1 - Out of Office

Suppose you need letters sent on a specific date, but you won’t be available that day. Whether it’s vacation, a work event, or a day off, our schedule feature allows you to rest easy knowing that your job will still be sent on time!

Example 2 - Thank You Letters

You can use the schedule feature to send Thank You letters to customers after a number of days have passed. For instance, you can create a list of customers who purchased during the week and upload them to our website for mailing.  Then you would upload your custom Thank You message.  Next, pay for the letter and schedule the Thank You mailing for the desired day.

Example 3 - Appointment Reminders

You can generate a list of customers who are due for their next appointment (dental visit, salon, oil change, pest treatment, pet check-up, etc.) and load it to our website along with your reminder artwork and schedule a reminder postcard.  You might generate the list of visitors and load it to our website at the end of each month, pay for it and schedule it for 11 months into the future.

Example 4 - Letter Drip Campaign

You might be trying to get the attention of a potential buyer of a high dollar transaction such as a car, boat, or airplane purchase, or maybe a farm or business buyer.  You can create a mailing that would go to your prospects each month in order to keep your name and contact information in front of them. You can streamline the process by creating all three mailings in a single session, paying for them, and scheduling them to be mailed on different dates.

Important: This option only works for dates that are at least 2 business days in the future.  For anything faster than that you'll need to use the expedite or rush options.  Additionally, we may print and insert your mailing before it mails, but will not mail it out until the specified scheduled date. If it has already been approved, printing and shredding fees may be charged if you need to delete the job.

Please note that this feature determines when we will mail your letter and does not guarantee when it will be delivered.
