How to track mail

There are several ways to track mail, depending on the type of mail and the postal service used. Here are some common methods:

  1. USPS Tracking: The United States Postal Service (USPS) offers tracking for most types of mail, including First Class Mail, Priority Mail, and Priority Mail Express. You can track your mail by visiting the USPS website and entering your tracking number.
  2. Carrier Tracking: Many mail carriers, such as UPS and FedEx, offer tracking services for packages. You can track your package by visiting the carrier's website and entering your tracking number.
  3. Email Notifications: Some postal services and carriers offer email notifications when your mail is delivered or scanned at a specific location. You can sign up for these notifications when you send a package or mail.
  4. Mobile Apps: Many postal services and carriers have mobile apps that allow you to track your mail on the go. For example, the USPS Mobile App and the UPS Mobile App.
  5. Online Tracking Tools: There are also online tracking tools available that allow you to track your mail across multiple carriers and postal services. For example, Track-It and ShipStation.
