Business Hours and Mail Out Schedule
- Operating hours: Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM (Arizona Time)
- We do not send mail out on evenings, weekends, or holidays
- Jobs submitted during off-hours will begin processing on the next business day, and the 2 business day timeframe starts from that point
Mailings That May Take Longer
Certain products may exceed the 2-business-day default:
- Coupon Booklet Mailings: May take up to 4 business days
- Mailings with “buckslip” paper: May take up to 4 business days
API Turnaround Time
- Jobs submitted through the LetterStream API follow our standard two-business-day mail-out timeframe.
- Expedite processing is also available for eligible API mailings submitted using the POST method, allowing for next-business-day mail out.
- Rush processing is not currently supported through the API.
Note: Expedite and Rush processing only affects how quickly LetterStream processes and mails your job. It does not speed up USPS delivery.
