Q: Why should I consider using CertifiedPro.net?
A: CertifiedPro.net is a full-cycle Mail Management System designed for users at the desktop level to the mail room.

Our software also provides access to a USPS Firm Mailing Book (for obtaining “round dated stamp” used as proof of mailing), comprehensive mail tracking data and acts as a central repository for electronic signature files. CertifiedPro.net also easily unlocks valuable USPS discounts like Return Receipt Electronic (RRE), which saves the user $1.48 per piece in postage as opposed to the traditional Return Receipt. Priority Mail letters are sent in a custom USPS Flat Rate envelope that holds up to 130 pages and provides optional Certified Mail and Signature Delivery Confirmation add-on services.
