Express, Priority, Certified, Registered and Insured Mail | UAMS Mail Processing Center

Express Mail

Express mail is an overnight service provided by the US Postal Service. Express Mail is committed for overnight delivery to most destinations. For an Express Mail package to be delivered by the next day it must be in the UAMS Mail Processing Center no later than 12 p.m. (Noon).

Priority Mail

Priority mail provides two to three day service to most US destinations. International priority service is available which provides five to seven day service to most countries.

Certified Mail

Certified mail provides the sender with a receipt of the time of mailing and a record of delivery is kept at the post office. There is a small fee for certified mail. For an additional fee, the return receipt will also bear the recipient’s signature.

Registered Mail

Registered mail is the most secure service offered by the U.S. Postal Service. Through a system of receipts, the USPS monitors the movement of the mail piece from the point of acceptance by the USPS to the point of delivery. The sender of the mail piece receives a receipt at the time of mailing, and a delivery record is kept at the post office servicing the delivery address. This service also provides optional indemnity for additional protection in the event of loss or damage.

Insured Mail

Insured mail provides insurance against loss or damage for your mail item for a very reasonable price. You may insure mail items up to $5,000.00 and the cost of insurance is based on the dollar value you placed of the item you want to be insured. You can view the current insurance prices at the U.S. Postal Service web site.
