Bill looks at three main variables: cost, speed, and tracking. The “best” method depends on which you care about most.

For most business letters:

  1. Use First-Class Mail in a standard envelope for the best balance of cost and delivery time (usually 1–5 days in the U.S.).
  2. If proof of delivery matters, add Certified Mail (with or without Return Receipt) so you can track and confirm it was received.
  3. For time-sensitive or high-value documents, upgrade to Priority Mail or Priority Mail Express for faster delivery and better tracking, even though they cost more.

What are you optimizing for most: lowest cost, fastest arrival, or proof it was received?
