Neat Info On Tracking Numbers for Delivery Confirmation

Post by Evie » Sat Feb 21, 2009 3:42 am

I mailed a box yesterday with delivery confirmation. I sent an email to my friend with the confirmation number. Last night I wanted to see how far it got so I went back to the email to copy and paste that long number. Well, I noticed that it was hyper-linked. So, I clicked on it to see what would happen. It took me straight to the right place on the USPS website to check on it's status! Wow! Isn't technology great! I didn't do anything special when I typed the number in the email, it just knew that those numbers were for the post office.

did you know you can sign up and have the information e-mailed directly to you too? that is what i do now and it is great. When you track it the first time you will see that option. That was wonderful over the holidays when I had so many packages in the mail at the same time.

this is a neat site too

http://www.usetrackthis.com/

it takes the tracking number and 'auto detects' the carrier and will email you (or update you on facebook or twitter) with details on the tracking as it moves along.

I have not used DC very often yet and didn't know this.

I have not heard yet if my SVP received her package, so I might check this out.
All I want to know is that it indeed was delivered.

Thank for the info on this website.
