USPS Informed Delivery

The U.S. Postal Service offers a service called Informed Delivery. The free feature sends you scanned images of the mail heading your way via email, the USPS app or their website.

Track Packages

Google

Google can search for packages being delivered by FedEx, UPS and USPS. All you have to do is paste the tracking number into the search bar and hit search. 

A box will appear on the page with a button that says something like “Track Package” or “Track Via,” followed by the carrier. Depending on who is shipping the package, clicking the button will show the shipment status on the page or you will be redirected to the carrier’s tracking page with the tracking number already loaded up.

Gmail

Google has taken package tracking to the next level and integrated it into your Gmail inbox. The details automatically update, letting you see the status of some of your packages in real time right from your inbox. 

Package statuses in Gmail will appear:

• In the same line as the email when viewing your inbox.
• At the top of an open email with a tracking number in it.

Labels include expected delivery dates and status, like “label created.”  However, the tracking information for some packages may not be available directly in Gmail. 

You can opt in or out of this feature in Gmail Settings.

Amazon

To track Amazon orders:

1. Find Your Orders on the website or in the app.
2. Select the specific order.
3. Click Track Package.

You can also use Amazon Shipping to follow your order’s journey.
