How to track first class mail without tracking number

The good old days of sending mail without tracking numbers! While it's not possible to track First Class Mail without a tracking number, there are a few ways to increase the chances of knowing where your mail is:

  1. Use a delivery confirmation service: For an additional fee, you can purchase a delivery confirmation service from the USPS. This service provides proof of delivery and can be used to track the status of your mail.
  2. Use a return receipt request: You can request a return receipt from the USPS, which will be sent back to you once the mail is delivered. This will provide proof of delivery and can be used to track the status of your mail.
  3. Check with the recipient: If you're sending mail to someone, you can ask them to confirm receipt of the mail. This may not provide real-time tracking information, but it can give you an idea of whether the mail has been delivered.
  4. Contact the USPS: If you're concerned about the status of your mail, you can contact the USPS customer service department and provide them with the mailing information. They may be able to look up the status of your mail and provide you with an update.
  5. Use a third-party tracking service: There are several third-party services that offer tracking capabilities for First Class Mail, such as Stamps.com or Endicia. These services may require you to purchase a subscription or pay a fee for each package.

Keep in mind that without a tracking number, it may be more difficult to track the status of your mail. However, by using one of the methods above, you may be able to get an update on the status of your mail.
