- Cost: Starts at approximately $30 per letter
- Delivery Timeframe: Typically delivered in 7–21 days (can be longer depending on the destination and customs clearance)
- Tracking: Available, but updates may be delayed—especially during international transit
- Delivery Confirmation: Signatures and delivery are not guaranteed. If a signature for Registered mail is collected upon delivery, it will be mailed back to us and added to your account.
