Does informed delivery show all mail
Informed Delivery is a free service offered by the United States Postal Service (USPS) that provides customers with digital previews of their incoming mail and packages. However, it does not show all mail.
Here are some limitations to what Informed Delivery shows:
- Not all mail is included: Informed Delivery only shows a selection of mail pieces, such as letters, flats, and packages, that are processed through automated processing machines. This means that mail pieces that are not processed through these machines, such as handwritten notes or small packages, may not be included in the digital preview.
- No sensitive or confidential mail: Informed Delivery does not show sensitive or confidential mail, such as checks, credit cards, or other financial documents. This is to protect the privacy and security of the mail.
- No mail with restricted access: Informed Delivery also excludes mail that has restricted access, such as mail with special handling instructions or mail that requires a signature upon delivery.
- No packages with special handling: Informed Delivery may not show packages that require special handling, such as packages that need to be signed for or packages that are too large to fit through a standard mailbox.
Despite these limitations, Informed Delivery can still be a useful tool for staying informed about your mail and packages. You can use the service to:
- See a digital preview of your mail and packages before they arrive
- Get notifications when new mail and packages are on their way
- Track the status of your packages and mail
- Receive alerts when packages are delivered or attempted to be delivered
