Send By Post or Snail Mail is mail that is not sent through the internet.  Yes, that’s right!  On real paper.

With FreshBooks, you have the option of sending an invoice to your client by email or by post.

As soon as you click your “Send by Post” button, your invoice is printed and placed in a double-paned envelope along with a return envelope and sent directly to your client’s address via first class business mail within one business day. That’s right, you don’t have to print the invoice, buy envelopes or make runs to the post office.

Stamps

Every time you send an invoice through Snail Mail, it will cost you one Stamp.  This Stamp includes the price of printing, envelopes and postage to your client (return postage not included).  When you first sign up for FreshBooks, we give you two free stamps to try it out. The cost of additional stamps is listed here:
