Reliable, Inexpensive Telegram for the Modern Age

This is such a nifty idea, to be able to upload a letter and have it printed and sent from within the UK! One of my friends said it's like a telegram for the modern age.

I've used Modernmail twice, and both times it has been really smooth and affordable. It's inexpensive and, in my limited experience, very reliable. And it helps me to keep me in touch with my older relatives who don't enjoy online communication.

Thanks, Modernmail!

Hello Emma,

Thank you so much for the lovely feedback—and for calling us a “telegram for the modern age.” We’ll be borrowing that line! 🙂

We’re delighted the service has helped you keep in touch with your relatives and that both letters arrived smoothly and at a price that works.

Thanks again for choosing Modern Mail and for taking the time to share your experience.

Simple way to send a letter

Simple way to send a letter. Im in UAE and when I need to contact HMRC I prefer a letter. With this I upload, pay and send.
Site works well, without all the marketing stuff that bigger sites have.

I couldn't be more pleased with the experience! The process was seamless—after writing my letter, I took a photo of it and uploaded it to their platform. They printed it out beautifully and handled the mailing for me.

The service was efficient, and I appreciated the clear communication throughout the process. It's a great solution for anyone needing to send mail internationally without the hassle of long shipping times. Highly recommended!

Very clear and simple website

Very clear and simple website. I had a question and got a clear and prompt answer. Particularly convenient because there is no registration or monthly payment. I assume that my letter will get to its destination but I have no way of knowing. A model of what a website ought to be. I wish them all success.

Modern Mail helped me a lot with great convenience. I am not able to come to the UK for now. The letters arrived right on time and everything got resolved.

Easy peasy :)

Modern Mail is such a brilliant service; simple yet highly effective. I haven't owned a printer for years (does anyone anymore?!) and as I work full-time, finding the time to go to the post office has always been such a hassle. With Modern Mail, I don't have to worry about the arduous process of finding a printer and picking up stamps (which I know sounds like a simple thing to do but life always gets in the way), as they do it all for me.

The service also has a lovely customer service team who have even helped my mum, who isn't a big fan of technology, send multiple letters.

I will definitely be using Modern Mail again!

No copy of the document and recepient's address provided

1. No copy of the document or recipient's address provided
I was disappointed that your service doesn't include an option to send a copy of the uploaded document along with the recipient's address to the sender's email for confirmation. This feature would be invaluable, especially for those wanting to use the service as proof of posting a particular document.
While I understand the need to avoid storing documents and addresses for GDPR compliance, you could implement a system where the document and address are emailed to the sender (along with a reference or tracking number) and then promptly deleted from your servers. This approach would provide users with a reliable record of their transaction without breaching data protection rules. Without such a feature, the service feels significantly less practical for my needs.

2. No document preview or cancellation option
I was also slightly confused by the lack of a preview option after uploading the document. Perhaps I missed it, but it seems very easy to accidentally upload the wrong file. In my view, verifying the document before sending is critical.
I assumed there would be a preview or at least an option to review the upload later in the process (after payment). However, I discovered that once payment is made, there’s no way to preview or cancel the order. This lack of flexibility could lead to unnecessary errors and frustration for users.

Dear Ilya,

Thank you for sharing such detailed feedback. We understand how important it is to have a clear record of the documents sent, and we’re actively looking into secure ways to provide this without compromising GDPR compliance. We also appreciate your suggestions for a document preview and cancellation option—both features that we are currently working on to implement. Your input is truly valuable, and we’ll keep working to make our service more intuitive and user-friendly. Thanks again!

Reliable, easy a real time saver!

I’ve been using this service regularly for the past few months, and I honestly can't recommend it enough. It makes sending important documents so much easier. Instead of going to the post office, I just upload the file, choose the delivery option, and they take care of everything from there. It’s such a time-saver, especially when I’m busy with work.

I’ve used it for sending both personal and business-related documents, and the service has always been reliable. I receive an email with the tracking information promptly after sending, which has been great. I then use the tracking link to confirm the delivery. I’ve had to use the Special Delivery option a couple of times for urgent items, and everything arrived on time without any issues.

What I really appreciate is how straightforward the whole process is. I had a minor question once about my delivery, and customer service got back to me quickly with a helpful answer. It’s good to know that there’s real support behind the service if you need it. 

One improvement I would like to see if the option to send the same letter to multiple addresses, rather than having to repeat the process for each new recipient. 

If you need to send letters or documents without the hassle of doing it all yourself, this service is perfect. It’s simple, reliable, and has definitely made my life easier.

Dear Henrique,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed and positive review. We’re thrilled to hear that our service has made sending documents more convenient for you—especially when it comes to saving time and reducing trips to the post office.

It’s wonderful to know our tracking updates and Special Delivery options have met your needs, and we’re glad our customer support team was able to assist you promptly when you had a question. Providing a seamless and reliable service is what we aim for, and your feedback confirms we’re on the right track.

We also appreciate your suggestion about sending the same letter to multiple addresses in a single step. This is something that we are currently working on, and hope to release soon.

Thank you once again for your kind words and continued support. We look forward to helping you with your letters and documents for a long time to come!

Good value, fast, no fuss. £1 for a simple second class letter - can't ask for much cheaper than that. It was posted within a day of sending it on the site. Very happy. Thanks.

Excellent service

Veey simple process to upload a letter , and post, all from the comfort of home. Excellent communication with a notification to confirm it had been sent. The cost was very reasonable, especially as I don't post much, so would have had to purchase envelopes etc, find somewhere to print the letter and drove 3 miles to the nearest post office for a stamp.
Highly recommended. Would use again
