Can you get racking on first class mail

In the United States, First-Class Mail is a type of mail service provided by the United States Postal Service (USPS). While it's possible to get tracking information for First-Class Mail, it's not always guaranteed.

Here's what you need to know:

  1. Free Tracking: If you purchase a First-Class Package Service International (FCPS) label, which is a type of First-Class Mail that requires a signature upon delivery, you'll get free tracking. This service is available for packages weighing up to 70 pounds.
  2. Tracking for an Additional Fee: For regular First-Class Mail, you can purchase tracking for an additional fee. This is called "Signature Confirmation" or "Tracking and Confirmation." This service provides tracking information and requires a signature upon delivery.
  3. No Tracking for Standard First-Class Mail: For standard First-Class Mail, which is the most common type of First-Class Mail, tracking is not guaranteed. However, you can still use a tracking number to monitor the delivery status of your mailpiece.

To get tracking for First-Class Mail, you can:

  1. Use a First-Class Package Service International (FCPS) label.
  2. Purchase Signature Confirmation or Tracking and Confirmation for an additional fee.
  3. Use a tracking number provided by the USPS or a third-party shipping carrier.

Keep in mind that even with tracking, there are some limitations. For example, the USPS may not be able to provide tracking information for mailpieces that are delayed or lost in transit.

I hope that helps clarify things!
