Do you get a tracking number with first class mail

In the United States, First Class Mail does not typically come with a tracking number. However, there are some exceptions and additional services that can provide tracking information:

1. First Class Package Service: This is a type of First Class Mail that is used for packages weighing 13 ounces or more. First Class Package Service does come with a tracking number, which can be used to track the package's delivery status.
2. Priority Mail: This is a faster and more reliable service offered by the United States Postal Service (USPS). Priority Mail comes with a tracking number, which can be used to track the package's delivery status.
3. Certified Mail: This is a service that provides proof of mailing and delivery. Certified Mail comes with a tracking number, which can be used to track the package's delivery status.
4. Return Receipt Requested: This is a service that provides proof of delivery. Return Receipt Requested comes with a tracking number, which can be used to track the package's delivery status.

If you need to track a First Class Mail item, you can use the USPS's online tracking tool, called "Track & Confirm." However, this service is only available for packages that have a tracking number, which is not typically provided for standard First Class Mail.

It's worth noting that some private carriers, such as FedEx and UPS, may offer tracking services for First Class Mail items, but these services are not provided by the USPS.
