The US Postal Service is ending international return receipts

The US Postal Service is discontinuing its international return receipt service. This means senders will no longer get a physical card confirming that their international mail was delivered and signed for.

For decades, businesses and individuals sending important documents or goods internationally relied on return receipts for proof of delivery. This change removes a basic layer of accountability for international mail. Senders will now need to find alternative ways to confirm receipt, or simply accept the risk.
