How to see what mail is coming to your mailbox

There are a few ways to see what mail is coming to your mailbox without actually opening it:

  1. Check your online mailbox tracking: Many postal services, such as USPS, UPS, and FedEx, offer online tracking services that allow you to monitor the status of your packages and mail. You can usually find this information on the carrier's website or through a mobile app.
  2. Use a mail tracking app: There are several third-party apps, such as MailTrack or Package Guard, that allow you to track your mail and packages. These apps often provide real-time updates and notifications when new mail arrives.
  3. Check your email: Many online retailers and services will send you email notifications when they send a package or mail to your address. Keep an eye on your email inbox for these notifications to get an idea of what's coming your way.
  4. Look for mail carrier notifications: Some mail carriers, like USPS, will leave a notification card on your doorstep when they deliver a package or mail. This card will usually indicate what was delivered and may include a tracking number.
  5. Check your neighborhood's online community: Many neighborhoods have online forums or social media groups where residents share information about packages and mail they've received. You can join these groups to see what's being delivered to your area.
  6. Ask a neighbor: If you have a friendly neighbor who checks their mail regularly, you can ask them to keep an eye out for any packages or mail addressed to you.

Remember to always verify the authenticity of any information you receive about your mail, especially if it's from an unknown source.
