Do you get a tracking number with usps priority mail

Yes, when you send a package using USPS Priority Mail, you will typically receive a tracking number. This tracking number, also known as an Intelligent Mail barcode (IMb), is a unique identifier that allows you to track the package's movement and status as it travels through the postal system.

Here's how to get a tracking number with USPS Priority Mail:

1. When you purchase a Priority Mail label at a post office or online, you'll be given a tracking number.
2. You can also request a tracking number when you purchase a Priority Mail label online through the USPS website or through a third-party shipping platform.
3. The tracking number will be printed on the label and will also be emailed to you if you purchase the label online.

With a tracking number, you can:

• Track the package's movement and status in real-time
• Receive updates on delivery attempts and any issues that may arise
• Verify delivery and confirm receipt of the package
• File a claim if the package is lost or damaged

Keep in mind that not all USPS services come with tracking. For example, First-Class Mail and Media Mail do not typically include tracking. However, Priority Mail and other expedited services usually do come with tracking.
