How to know if your mail has been sent

Here are some ways to know if your mail has been sent:

1. Check the tracking number: If you've purchased shipping insurance or tracking, you can check the tracking number on the USPS website (usps.com) or the website of the shipping carrier (e.g., UPS, FedEx). Enter the tracking number to see the status of your package.
2. Check the post office: Visit your local post office and ask the postal worker if they've sent your mail. They may be able to check their records or provide information on the status of your package.
3. Check your email: If you've signed up for email notifications from the shipping carrier or postal service, you may receive an email confirmation when your mail is sent.
4. Check the shipping carrier's website: Visit the website of the shipping carrier (e.g., USPS, UPS, FedEx) and enter your tracking number to see the status of your package.
5. Wait for a delivery confirmation: If you've sent a letter or package via USPS, you may receive a delivery confirmation email or a physical confirmation card in the mail.
6. Check your online account: If you have an online account with the shipping carrier or postal service, you may be able to log in and check the status of your package.
7. Contact the shipping carrier: If you're unable to find the information you need online, you can contact the shipping carrier's customer service department to ask about the status of your package.
