What is USPS TRACKING?
USPS Tracking is a tool to track the shipping journey of your parcels and packages. With USPS tracking, you will know the current status of your packages and other tracking information including delivery information, date and time of delivery, and the delivery location at any time and anywhere.
The USPS tracking system will operate and update continuously with the highest accuracy so that you can get the latest information about the status of your package.
USPS Tracking does not assist or guarantee delivery. You don't have to pay any additional charge for the tracing system on packages that incorporate USPS Tracking.
To track a package, you must provide a tracking number to get tracking information. It's simple and easy.
What is a USPS Tracking Number?
Whenever you send a package, the post office workers will assign that order a number. And that number is USPS Tracking Number. The number may vary depending on the service you are using.
Where do I find my tracking number?
- Post office shipping receipt
- Sales receipt if you purchased insurance at the Post Office
- The bottom peel-off portion of your USPS Tracking label
- The shipping confirmation email from an online retailer
What does my tracking number look like?
The format of the USPS tracking number is a series of 20 to 22 digits without letters or other characters. They are arranged in groups of four digits. For example, 9405 5118 9781 2898 8946 08. This number may be different depending on the shipping options. The USPS Express shipments are made up of 13 characters and starting with two capital letters and ending with US. For example, EC 000 000 000 US.

How does USPS Tracking work?
When ordering parcels through the USPS post office, a hierarchy is built, and USPS tracking begins to work.
1. USPS Label Created
The label of your trackable shipment is scanned several times through the mailstream.
2. Examining Label
The tracking will begin when the package's sender or the delivery partner informs us electronically that we should anticipate a courier.
3. Parcel for Transit
It continues with USPS accepting the parcel for transit and finishes when the parcel is delivered or pickup by the recipient.
4. Tracking online
Using the USPS Tracking number associated with the item, you can access this tracking data in a variety of ways throughout this operation.

It is also known as the Post Office, U.S. Mail, or Postal Service. It is one of the few government agencies that the United States Constitution explicitly authorizes. In 2014, the USPS had 617,254 active employees and operated 211,264 vehicles. The USPS operates the world's largest civilian vehicle fleet.
