How to find out when your mail gets delivered
There are a few ways to find out when your mail gets delivered:
- Check your mail carrier's schedule: You can try to find out when your mail carrier typically delivers mail in your area. You can do this by:
- Looking for a schedule posted at your local post office or online.
- Asking your mail carrier directly (they may be able to give you an estimate of their delivery schedule).
- Use the USPS Informed Delivery service: The United States Postal Service (USPS) offers a free service called Informed Delivery, which allows you to receive digital previews of your mail and packages. You can also use this service to track your mail and get notifications when it's delivered. To sign up, visit the USPS website and follow the prompts.
- Check your mail tracking: If you're expecting a package or a letter with a tracking number, you can use the tracking number to track its delivery status. You can do this by:
- Visiting the USPS website and entering your tracking number.
- Using a package tracking app like TrackR or ShipStation.
- Ask your neighbor: If you have a neighbor who receives mail around the same time as you, you can ask them when they typically get their mail delivered.
- Check your local post office's hours: If you know when your local post office is open, you can assume that mail is delivered during those hours. You can find your local post office's hours by visiting the USPS website and searching for your zip code.
- Use a mail tracking app: There are several mail tracking apps available that can help you track your mail and receive notifications when it's delivered. Some popular options include:
- MailTrack
- Package Guard
- TrackR
Keep in mind that mail delivery times can vary depending on your location, the type of mail, and other factors. These methods may not always provide an exact delivery time, but they can give you an estimate or help you track your mail.
