Mail Queue
Overview
After mail pieces are created and saved, they are placed in your Mail Queue and must be submitted to the USPS before being mailed. The Mail Queue is user specific, meaning other users don’t have access to mail pieces in your Mail Queue, and you don’t have access to theirs. From the Mail Queue, you can print banner pages, edit mail pieces, delete mail pieces, submit mail pieces to the USPS, or send mail pieces to the Mailroom.

Download Banner Pages: Download the banner pages for all selected mail pieces in one PDF.
Submit Pieces to the USPS: Submit all selected mail pieces to the USPS. Mail pieces that are submitted at the same time become part of the same job. Note that mail pieces must be submitted to the USPS before they are entered into the mail stream. This does three important things:
- It lets the USPS know the mail pieces are coming.
- It generates the USPS paperwork for the mail pieces, including the Firm Mailing Book for Accountable Mail (PS Form 3877) and SCAN Form (PS Form 5630).
- It allows tracking and electronic return receipt data to be returned and retrievable in e-Certify.
