Does the free certified mail readiness check store my letter?

Not for the check itself. The text is laid out to count the pages and look for problems, then discarded, and no account is created. Only pressing Copy fixes to my AI saves the letter, as a private unsent draft tied to that browser, so the private link in the report can bring the person back to it.

What does the readiness check tell me?

How many pages will print, the exact all-in price for that many pages on both Certified Mail and Certified Mail with electronic return receipt, and whether the recipient address has the name, street, city, state and ZIP code a USPS envelope needs.

Is the recipient address verified against USPS records?

Not by this check, which only confirms the address is complete. The address is checked against USPS records on the review page, before payment, where it can still be corrected.

Free readiness check

Is your letter ready to send certified?

Paste the letter your assistant wrote and the address it is going to. Piloxa lists what still needs fixing (placeholders left in, missing address parts, enclosures the letter mentions, blank pages), how many pages will print and what the mailing costs, before you sign in and before anything is charged. One button copies the fixes for your assistant.

No account. The check stores nothing. Nothing printed, mailed or charged by this page.

Paste the letter

The whole letter, as you want it printed — salutation through closing. Piloxa lays out the date and the addresses; leave those out.

Letter text

Who it is going to

Paste the name and address exactly as they appear in the letter, one part per line.

Recipient name and address

Your return address (optional)

Your name and mailing address, one part per line. Leave it empty if the letter already starts with it.

Your name and address

Enclosures you already have (optional)

If the letter says something is enclosed, name what you have, one per line (for example “invoice” or “receipt”). A pasted letter mails only its own pages; to include an enclosure, combine it with the letter into one PDF and attach that on the mailing screen.

Enclosures

Mailing service Certified Mail with electronic return receipt — USPS tracking, and the signature record where USPS returns one ($15.97 for one page) Certified Mail — USPS tracking, no signature record ($12.97 for one page)

What this check tells you, and what it does not

It lists what is unfinished or missing in the letter itself: placeholders such as [NAME] or “insert date” left in, a signature line with no name, text an assistant added around the letter, enclosures the letter mentions that will not be in the envelope, a missing return address, a page left blank, and a last page carrying only a line or two. Each item is marked either as something to fix before mailing, or as something to check yourself because it may be deliberate. It never says whether the letter is legally sufficient; that depends on your situation and the law that applies to it.

It also tells you the page count produced by the same layout Piloxa prints from, so the number here is the number the review page will show. It tells you the exact all-in total for that many pages, on both services, worked out by the same pricing the checkout uses. And it tells you whether the address has the five parts a USPS envelope needs: a name, a street address, a city, a two-letter state and a ZIP code.

It does not verify the address against USPS records — that happens on the review page, before payment, where a bad address can still be corrected. It does not read a PDF; paste the text instead, or attach the finished PDF after signing in. And the check itself keeps nothing: the letter you paste is laid out to be counted and then discarded, unread by anyone.

Copy fixes to my AI

When the check finds something, one button writes the findings as a short instruction for your assistant: fix only these items, keep every other word, invent no facts, names, dates, amounts or addresses, and ask you when something is missing. It ends with a private link back to your letter on Piloxa, which works for three days. Pressing it saves the letter as a private, unsent draft in this browser so that link can bring you back to it; copying sends nothing anywhere until you paste it yourself. When you come back you paste or upload the corrected letter, the recipient and service stay filled in, the check runs again, and you read the new pages before anything is paid for.

What happens next

When the letter and the address look right, the button above takes you to the mailing screen. You sign in with your email address — a one-time link, no password to invent — paste the letter, and see the exact pages, the checked recipient and one total. Nothing is printed, mailed or charged until you authorize it there.

Common questions

Do you keep my letter?

Not for the check. The text is laid out to count the pages and look for problems, then discarded; no account is created and nothing you typed is written down. Only if you press “Copy fixes to my AI” is the letter saved, as a private unsent draft tied to this browser, so the link in the report can bring you back to it. You can discard it on the mailing screen.

Why does the page count matter?

Price depends on how many sheets are printed, and USPS charges a heavier postage rate once the envelope passes one ounce, which is roughly where the fourth page lands. The pricing page shows the cost for every length.

Can I check a PDF?

Not on this page. Paste the text of the document instead, or sign in and attach the finished PDF, which is kept and printed byte for byte.
