My money would be on USPS. I will wait for US users to confirm though

Their cheapest I believe is $1.93 need cheaper then that. I know you can send letters with tracking. But not 100% sure.

Is this just a one off letter or bulk?

Perhaps if you tend to post this many letters you should try looking at getting a franking machine? That should make your postage a lot cheaper.

If you physically bring them to the post office, you can get a delivery confirmation tag for a fee. It used to be $0.50 but I am not sure anymore.

I'm pretty sure that you cannot add tracking to a first-class letter - I think it has to be Priority Mail in order to qualify for tracking. The website states that only parcels qualify for tracking if sent First Class.

You would have to send them as a large envelope. If you print labels off eBay I think first class with delivery confirmation is like $1.80 from 1 oz to like 3 oz it is the same price.

If u go to the post office and get first class mail without tracking there is still a tracking number on the item that u get and u can plug that number into eBay and it works the same and will scan to delivered like normal

I just did this the other day and I think it's $95 cents to add tracking so for 3 oz it costed like $.90 don't quote me on exact price but it was big difference

Now I mailed 4 small items all different addresses in the US without tracking but very strange they all were tracked and come with a number

Maybe it's not always guaranteed to scan or something like when paying for delivery confirmation. But it worked same way

Next time u go purchase one first class mail with no tracking and on the reciept u will still get a track number
