Here's how to send USPS Priority Mail online:

1. First, head to mailform.io, and upload your document
2. Enter a destination address. This is where you want the mail to go to. Be sure to enter this clearly, - you can even use Google Maps (maps.google.com) to check and verify the address prior to entering it in. 
3. Enter a return address. Typically a return address is where you'd like the mail to return to if, for whatever reason, the mail cannot be delivered to its destination. There are many reasons an address may be undeliverable. Those are listed at the bottom.
4. Choose your printing options. Mailform has several printing options for USPS Priority Mail, including:
   1. Printing in Color: By default, we print in black and white. If you'd like your mail to be printed in color, please specify in this section. This is ideal if you're sending presentation materials or anything where color detail is important.
   2. Single Sided: By default, we print everything double sided. This means that if you're sending something that is 100 pages, it comes out to only 50 physical pages of paper, and that's all you pay for.
5. Confirm your order details, including your recipient, your return address, your order details (color, sides, speed)
6. Hit "Pay and Send". USPS Priority Mail orders placed before 10:45am EST Monday to Saturday will be mailed the same day, while orders placed on Sunday, after 10:45am EST Monday to Saturday or on USPS postal holidays will be fulfilled the next business day. 
7. Once shipped, we'll email you with a tracking number. You can head over to https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction_input to track your mail. We'll also email you a delivery notification when your mail has been delivered safely to its destination.
