Does first class mail parcel have tracking

In the United States, First Class Mail Parcel Service (formerly known as Parcel Post) does not typically include tracking. However, there are some exceptions and additional services that can provide tracking information.

Here are the details:

  1. Standard First Class Mail Parcel: This service does not include tracking. You won't be able to track the package's movement or receive updates on its delivery status.
  2. First Class Mail Parcel with Tracking: The United States Postal Service (USPS) offers a tracking upgrade for First Class Mail Parcel Service, which is called "Signature Confirmation" or "Tracking & Confirmation." This upgrade adds a fee to the standard postage rate and provides tracking information, including the package's delivery status and signature upon delivery.
  3. Priority Mail: If you upgrade to Priority Mail, which is a faster and more reliable service, you'll get tracking and delivery confirmation as part of the service.

To summarize:

Keep in mind that even with tracking, there may be situations where the package is delayed or lost. If you're concerned about tracking your package, you may want to consider using a more reliable shipping service, such as Priority Mail or a private carrier like UPS or FedEx.
