Sending a letter used to mean a trip to the Post Office, a queue, and hunting for stamps. Today you can do the whole thing from your phone or laptop. Whether it's a formal complaint, a signed form, or a card to a relative, here's how to send physical post in the UK without any of the traditional hassle.

Using PostPal, the process takes a few minutes:

1. Write your letter. Type it directly on our website, or upload a PDF or image if you already have a document ready.
2. Enter the recipient's address. Name, street, post town, and postcode. County is optional in the UK.
3. Add a return address (optional). You can include your own address or send anonymously.
4. Attach documents if needed. Up to 5 files — perfect for forms, contracts, or photos.
5. Pay and send. £4 for a UK letter covers everything: printing, envelope, postage, and delivery.

That's it. We print and post your letter the next business day.

PostPal handles standard letter post, which covers the vast majority of everyday needs:

• Formal letters and complaints
• Signed forms and applications
• Legal notices and demand letters
• Letters to HMRC, councils, and other organisations
• Personal letters, cards, and notes

You can attach supporting documents to any letter at no extra charge. For sending tax documents specifically, see our guide to mailing tax forms in the UK.

Beyond skipping the queue, sending mail online has real advantages:

• No supplies to buy. No booklets of stamps or boxes of envelopes gathering dust.
• No printer needed. We print for you on quality paper.
• Address checking. We help catch typos before they cause a failed delivery.
• A record of posting. You get an email confirming when your letter was sent.
