Is there any service that allows you to send letters via snail mail?

Question

I'm working on some software that needs to send emails to users, and occasionally letters through USPS. Is there any service with an API that allows you to do this and pay x amount of money per letter or something, or does this have to be a manual in house print, package, and mail process?

Answer 2

PostalMethods.com sounds about right.

I've never used the service myself, but it looks pretty legit, and you can get a free developer account that "simulates" sending the document for testing purposes.

Try googling "send mail online":

Here's the first result that came up for me: PostalMethods

Hi Max,

Sorry for just noticing this now. The perfect solution for you is PostalMethdos. Our Postal API allows you to integrate to the service and send letters or postcards programmatically. Your mail is processed and handed to the USPS within up to one business day.

We have code samples in Java, PHP, VB.NET, C#, Perl, Python, ColdFusion, Ruby and ASP. We provide a free development account where you can simulate the handling of mail items and free, quick and unlimited support.

Our pricing model is pay-as-you-go. Purchase a prepaid card - from $10 to $10,000 and use it when needed.
