How to know when the mail is delivered
Here are some ways to know when the mail is delivered:
- Check your mailbox: The most obvious way is to check your mailbox regularly, especially after lunchtime when mail carriers typically deliver mail.
- Sign up for delivery notifications: Many postal services, such as the United States Postal Service (USPS), offer delivery notifications via email or text message. You can sign up for these notifications on their websites.
- Use a mail tracking app: Apps like MailTrack (for iOS and Android) or Package Guard (for iOS) allow you to track your mail and receive notifications when it's delivered.
- Check your online account: If you have an online account with your postal service or a package tracking service, you can check your account for updates on your mail's delivery status.
- Look for a delivery slip: If you're not home when your mail is delivered, you may receive a delivery slip with a note from the mail carrier indicating that your mail was left at your doorstep.
- Check with your neighbors: If you have a friendly neighbor who's home during the day, you can ask them to keep an eye out for your mail and let you know when it's delivered.
- Use a smart doorbell with a camera: Some smart doorbells, like Ring or Nest, come with cameras that can capture footage of your mail being delivered. You can then check the footage to see when your mail was delivered.
- Check your community's online forum: If you live in a neighborhood with an online forum or social media group, you can ask your neighbors if they've seen your mail being delivered.
Remember to always check your mailbox regularly to ensure you don't miss any important mail or packages!
