How to know when mail is coming
The anticipation of waiting for mail! Here are some ways to know when mail is coming:
- Check your email: Many online services, such as USPS, UPS, and FedEx, offer email notifications when your package is out for delivery or has been delivered.
- Track your package: Use the tracking number provided by the sender or the shipping carrier to track the status of your package. You can usually find this information on the shipping carrier's website or through a tracking app.
- Sign up for delivery notifications: Some carriers, like USPS, offer delivery notifications that send you an email or text message when your package is out for delivery.
- Check your mailbox regularly: This old-school method still works! Check your mailbox regularly to see if there are any new packages or letters.
- Use a package tracking app: Apps like Package Guard, Package Tracker, or ShipStation allow you to track your packages and receive notifications when they're out for delivery or have been delivered.
- Check your doorbell camera: If you have a doorbell camera, you might be able to see when a delivery person is at your door, even if you're not home.
- Ask a neighbor or family member to check: If you're not home, ask a neighbor or family member to check your mailbox for you.
- Check your local post office: If you're expecting a package, you can also check with your local post office to see if it's been delivered or if there are any issues with the delivery.
- Use a smart door lock: Some smart door locks, like August or Schlage, allow you to receive notifications when someone is at your door, including delivery personnel.
- Check your phone's notifications: Many shipping carriers and online retailers send notifications to your phone when your package is out for delivery or has been delivered.
By using one or more of these methods, you should be able to stay informed about when your mail is coming!
