Choose standard delivery

Standard letter sending involves drafting the letter, putting it in an envelope, stamping the envelope with stamps, and posting the envelope in a mailbox or at a post office for delivery to the recipient. It's a traditional and tangible method of written communication. To make life easier for senders, several online services exist that offer to print and stamp the letters on your behalf.

Choose to send registered letters online

Registered mail is generally chosen by the sender, i.e., the person who sends the letter or the package. It is used in various cases where proof of delivery and enhanced traceability are required, and it also gives the sender some peace of mind.

Send personalized postcards online

Online postcard sending refers to the practice of sending physical postcards from an online platform. Instead of purchasing a postcard, writing it, stamping it, and mailing it manually, you can use online services that allow you to customize and send postcards directly from your computer or mobile device.

Handwritten letters: what should you pay attention to?

What are the elements of a handwritten letter?

• Sender details: Include your name, address, phone number and email address at the top of the letter.
• Date: Add the date on which the letter is drafted or sent.
• Recipient details: Include the recipient's name, professional title, the company name, address, and any other relevant identifiers.
• Greeting: Start the letter with a formal greeting, such as 'Dear Sir / Madam'.
• Introduction or first paragraph: Introduce yourself and briefly state the purpose of the letter.
• Body paragraphs: Develop the main message or subject of the letter using clear, organized paragraphs. Provide relevant details, supporting information and examples if necessary.
• Last paragraph: Summarize the key points, propose any necessary actions or express your gratitude if appropriate.
• Closing: End the letter with a professional closing, such as 'Sincerely', 'Best regards' or 'Please accept, Sir/Madam, the expression of my highest regards', followed by a comma.
• Signature: Leave space for your signature (handwritten or digital). Type your name underneath the signature, acc
• Attachments: If you include any additional documents, mention them beneath your typed name (for example, 'Attachment: Proposal').
• Postscript (optional): If you have additional information or a brief note to add, you can include it after your typed name or your signature.

How long does it take to receive a registered letter?

Delivery time for letters depends on several factors; however, there are certain timeframes set by the national services you can rely on. Depending on the type of letter chosen, registered letters are delivered within 3 business days. The same timeframe applies to 'green letters'; however, senders will not be provided with a proof of receipt, so they do not benefit from legal protection when the letter contains important documents. If delivery is extremely urgent, it is advised to send letters via e-lettre rouge, which is a fully electronic solution.

Who is allowed to sign a return receipt?

In general, the recipient must be present when the postman delivers the registered letter to receive it. They must also sign it as proof of receipt, and this proof will be returned to the sender. If the recipient is not present, the postman may return later for a second attempt, or leave a notice in the mailbox to inform them of the receipt of their letter. In this case, the letter will go to the nearest post office where it can be picked up. Alternatively, the recipient may authorize a third party to collect the letter on their behalf.
