Cactus Mailing has no control over the U.S. Postal Service. When we deliver a client’s mailing to the post office it is inspected for proper preparation and if approved is accepted into the mail delivery stream. Cactus Mailing will upon request provide the client a copy (in pdf format) of the 3600-R for First Class Mail or 3602-R for Standard Mail. This document originates from the US Postal Service’s Postal One website and is often referred to as a “postage receipt” or “receipt of mailing”. Client agrees that this document shall constitute proof of delivery and that Cactus Mailing has completed its obligation and has no further obligation or liability for the mailing. Client understands that there is always a possibility that the U.S. Postal Service will delay, damage, or lose mail. Under no circumstance will Cactus Mailing be held responsible for delays in delivery, damage to the mail pieces, or loss of mail after it has been accepted by the Post Office.

Mail Tracking is accomplished by embedding a code in the barcode of each mail piece which is then scanned at various stages throughout the mail delivery process. As the Postal Service does not always scan every piece at every location - The client acknowledges that Cactus Mailing is not responsible for missed scans, incomplete data, inaccurate reports, late deliveries or lost mail and that all contact with the Post Office regarding delivery issues is the responsibility of the client.

Cactus Mailing at its sole discretion may opt to use shipping, transportation, and or delivery methods other than the Postal Service. This is typically referred to as "drop shipping" and any postage savings resulting from drop shipping will be retained by Cactus Mailing as these savings are taken into account when providing prices and quotes for our products and services.

For EDDM mailings the Postal Service does not issue a postage receipt (3600-R or 3602-R) as the mail pieces are shipped directly to the destination post office(s) for delivery. For EDDM projects Cactus Mailing will upon request provide the delivery confirmation for the shipment of the mail pieces to the post office(s) and client agrees that these delivery confirmations will constitute proof of delivery and that Cactus Mailing has completed its obligation and has no further obligation or liability for the mailing.

Cactus Mailing does not guarantee response rates to mailings. Any response rates discussed by Cactus Mailing, its Employees, contained in its marketing material, or on its website, are only projections of potential response rates. Absolutely no refunds will be given based on low or no response rates.

Digital display advertising impressions are obtained/purchased through an auction process - Cactus Mailing has no control over the auction process and the resulting cost of ad impressions.
