Understanding the USPS Tracking System

The USPS tracking system allows customers to follow the delivery progress of their shipments through status updates provided by the United States Postal Service. These updates are generated when a package is scanned at different stages of the delivery process, such as acceptance, transit, and final delivery.

Tracking availability and update frequency depend entirely on USPS and the shipping service used by the sender.

How USPS Tracking Information Is Shared

USPS tracking updates are typically shared with customers through shipping confirmation messages, delivery notifications, or order-related emails sent by the sender or retailer.

These messages may include a tracking number and status updates as the shipment moves through the postal network. USPS remains the sole source of tracking data and delivery status information.

How Shippity Helps You Track USPS Shipments

Shippity helps you organize and monitor USPS shipments by scanning your connected email inbox for commercial and transactional messages, such as shipping confirmations and delivery updates that include USPS tracking information.

When USPS tracking details are present in those emails, Shippity extracts and displays them in one place, allowing you to view shipment status without manually searching through your inbox.

Shippity does not integrate directly with USPS and does not generate tracking updates. All tracking information shown in the app is based solely on the content of the emails you receive.

What Information Shippity Can Display for USPS Orders

When available in your emails, Shippity may display USPS-related tracking information such as the tracking number, shipment status, and delivery confirmation. The level of detail depends on what USPS or the sender includes in their email communications.

If no tracking information is provided by email, Shippity may still detect the shipment or purchase, but delivery tracking will not be available.

USPS Tracking Delays and Common Status Issues

Occasionally, USPS tracking updates may appear delayed or unchanged for a period of time. This can occur due to operational delays, weather conditions, or gaps between package scans.

If tracking information has not updated for several days, customers should refer to the most recent email received from the sender or contact USPS directly for additional assistance.
