What to Expect

When you track your USPS First Class Mail, you can expect to see the following information:

• The date and time the mailpiece was sent
• The date and time the mailpiece was processed at a USPS facility
• The date and time the mailpiece was delivered (if it has been delivered)
• The location of the mailpiece at various points in its journey

Tracking Limitations

Keep in mind that USPS First Class Mail is not always trackable. If your mailpiece is sent without a tracking number, you may not be able to track its progress. Additionally, some types of mail, such as letters and postcards, may not be trackable at all.
