How do you know if mail has been delivered

Here are some ways to know if mail has been delivered:

  1. Tracking Number: Many mail services, such as USPS, UPS, and FedEx, provide tracking numbers for packages. You can use these numbers to track the status of your mail online. If the tracking shows "delivered" or "out for delivery," it means the mail has been delivered.
  2. Signature Confirmation: If you requested signature confirmation when sending a package, the recipient's signature will be required upon delivery. You'll receive an email or notification when the package is signed for.
  3. Delivery Confirmation: Some mail services, like USPS, offer delivery confirmation. This service provides proof of delivery and can be used to track the status of your mail.
  4. Neighbor or Building Management: If you're not home when the mail is delivered, your neighbor or building management may have received the mail and can confirm its delivery.
  5. Check Your Mailbox: If you're expecting a specific piece of mail, check your mailbox regularly. If it's not there, it may have been delivered to a different address or is still in transit.
  6. Contact the Post Office or Mail Carrier: If you're unsure if your mail has been delivered, you can contact your local post office or mail carrier to inquire about the status of your mail.
  7. Check with the Recipient: If you're sending mail to someone else, you can ask them if they've received it. They may have already received the mail or know when it was delivered.
  8. Online Account: Some mail services, like USPS, allow you to access your account online and track the status of your mail.
  9. Delivery Alerts: Some mail services, like USPS, offer delivery alerts via email or text message when a package is delivered.
  10. Check with Your Local Post Office: If you're still unsure, you can visit your local post office and ask if they have any information about the delivery status of your mail.

Remember to always keep an eye on your mail and report any missing or undelivered mail to the post office or mail carrier.
