### USPS Tracking

### What is USPS Tracking®?

USPS Tracking® is a way for you to make sure that your most important packages make it to their final destinations. The US Postal Service can tell you the date, time, and zip code where your item was delivered, giving you peace of mind. If the postal carrier tries to attempt a delivery, you’ll get the date and time of that attempt, too.

An approved licensed vendor of the USPS, Stamps.com allows you to buy and print mailing and shipping labels for all USPS mail classes using a standard ink-jet or laser printer. There is a monthly service fee of $14.99 to use the service.

### Types of USPS Tracking®

USPS offers two types of tracking: retail and electronic.

**Retail USPS Tracking®:** USPS sells retail tracking at its Post Offices. Just fill out PS Form 152, which is a bright green label that is available at the customer desk. You can check the status of your item by entering a code online at USPS’s Track and Confirm page or by calling a number on the form. Stamps.com customers can use retail USPS Tracking® by combining PS Form 152 with either NetStamps® labels or when printing postage directly onto envelopes.

**Electronic USPS Tracking®:** If you print postage from an online service, such as Stamps.com, the program will include electronic USPS Tracking® on your package for free for all mail classes.

### How Does USPS Tracking® Work?

USPS Tracking® service is represented by a bar code that is either printed on your shipping label or attached to your letter or package with a sticker. In addition to information about the item’s final destination, the bar code allows the USPS to track how your item moves from city to city. The sticker, also called PS Form 152, is available for free at the post office and must be filled out by hand. Delivery status may be checked by entering the USPS Tracking® number on the USPS or through Stamps.com if you’re a customer.

USPS Tracking is free when purchased at the Post Office. USPS Tracking can be combined with other services, including Return Receipt, Return Receipt for Merchandise, Collect on Delivery (COD), Domestic Insurance, Registered Mail, Restricted Delivery, and Special Handling.

### Stamps.com Offers Free USPS Tracking

Electronic USPS Tracking® is free for Stamps.com customers sending packaging through Priority Mail® or Priority Mail Express® when your shipping labels are printed inside the Stamps.com program.
