How to see what comes in the mail

There are a few ways to see what comes in the mail without having to physically check your mailbox:

  1. Online Package Tracking: Many shipping carriers, such as USPS, UPS, and FedEx, offer online tracking services that allow you to track your packages and see what's coming in the mail. You can usually track your packages by entering your tracking number on the carrier's website.
  2. Smart Mailboxes: Some smart mailboxes, like the Amazon Lockers or the Package Guard, allow you to view the contents of your mail and packages remotely through a mobile app.
  3. Neighborhood Watch: If you live in a neighborhood with a neighborhood watch program, you can ask your neighbors to keep an eye out for your mail and packages and let you know when something arrives.
  4. Ask a Friend or Family Member: If you have a friend or family member who lives nearby, you can ask them to check your mailbox for you and let you know what's arrived.
  5. Check Your Email: Some online retailers and services, like Amazon, will send you an email notification when your package is delivered.
  6. Use a Mailbox Camera: You can install a camera near your mailbox to capture images of the mail and packages as they arrive. This can be a good option if you're concerned about package theft or want to keep an eye on your mail.
  7. Check with Your Local Post Office: Your local post office may be able to provide you with information about what's been delivered to your mailbox, especially if you're unable to check your mail regularly.

Remember to always keep an eye on your mail and packages to ensure they're delivered safely and securely.
