Turnaround and Delivery

Standard orders are written and posted First-Class within 3–4 business days — free. Need it faster? Priority is written and posted the next business day for a 20% surcharge on the writing. Large campaigns are scheduled with you when you order.

Priority moves your order to the front of the writing queue: written and posted the next business day, for a 20% surcharge on the writing. Standard — within 3–4 business days — is always free.

Every letter is dated the day it’s written — and it’s posted that same day. The date your recipients see is always the day their letter was genuinely written and mailed, never the day you placed the order.

Yes — we email you at every milestone: when it’s received and processing, when it’s in production, and when it’s mailed. Your order status also lives in My Account.

Your letters are posted First-Class the day they’re written. USPS typically delivers First-Class Mail within a few days of posting, so most recipients have their letter within about a week of ordering.

Choose Priority at checkout for next-business-day writing and posting. For anything more unusual — a coordinated drop date, a launch — email hello@realinkletters.com and we’ll tell you honestly what’s possible.

Letters are written and posted on business days — that’s what keeps the dated-and-posted-same-day promise honest. Orders placed on weekends start Monday.

We currently mail within the United States. International mail is coming — ask us.

If an address turns out to be undeliverable, the letter comes back to the return address on the envelope — yours — exactly as if you’d mailed it yourself. No phantom delivery claims, ever.
