Mailing back offer sheet

So, I recently received an offer from a firm. I received an offer sheet in the mail, the day after they extended me the offer.

My question is, because they shipped my offer sheet overnight, do I have to mail it back with overnight shipping or can I just do it firstclass/priority/the regular way? Would I seem too cheap if I do not do it overnight?

Just ask your HR contact if they need it urgently. My inclination would be that they don't need it ASAP (they would have specified). Still, best to verify.

"There are three ways to make a living in this business: be first, be smarter, or cheat."
 

Typically, they enclose another envelope that is pre-paid inside the offer letter package so you can return it without paying shipping. Otherwise, you can also usually scan and email a signed offer letter.

This ... just scan and email it so you/they have a record of it and then just return using standard mail or put it in the prepaid envelope if one is provided.

 
kidflashdo a lot of banks still mail offers? i got both my offers this recruiting season emailed to me.

They usually do both mail and email. You can accept via mail or via email.
