Getting Started

How long does it take to sign up?

Registration takes only minutes, and you can start receiving mail as soon as you get your “Welcome" email. After sign-up, it is important to complete the Postal Consent Form and to inform senders of your new address. For more information, see “Getting Started.”

Can I register my business with my ECM address?

Businesses can only be registered with an Earth Class Mail address when using our Registered Agent Service. Without this service, your ECM address can only legally be used for receiving mail.

Are there long term contracts?

No. By default, your Earth Class Mail account will auto-renew at the end of the billing month, but you can log in at any time and have us cancel your account instead, or renew it under a different plan. This gives you the flexibility to control your costs and make sure you’re getting exactly the service you need.

Do I need to complete the Postal Consent Form (Form 1583)?

All of our customers are required to complete and submit a Postal Consent Form for each address you use. This Form authorizes Earth Class Mail to receive, handle, and process your mail. See the Postal Consent Form page for more information.

Which mail or items come to my new Earth Class Mail address?

It is up to you to determine what mail Earth Class Mail receives. You have the option to file a Change of Address with the US Post Office, or inform individual senders of your new mailing address. Either way, Earth Class Mail will not give out your address, and you control what mail comes to us. Keep in mind that if you are using our Borderless Shopping product you may only receive parcels - letter mail will be returned.
