New Service From USPS Gives Detailed Images Of Your Daily Mail

Informed Delivery is a free service from the USPS, which allows users to see what will be in their mailbox before it’s delivered. Sign up and you’ll receive an email every morning with detailed images of the front side of your mail to be delivered that day.

Knowing what to expect in the mail could change how you plan your day. This is especially good for people who travel a lot, as they’ll now be able to know what’s in their mail without having to send someone to retrieve it.

I personally receive an email between 7:00 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. daily. This is a really great way to know what to expect in the mail and easily notice if something went missing. If you received an image of a letter but not the physical letter, Informed Delivery makes it easy to report the missing mail to the Postal Service. Unfortunately, you cannot combine multiple addresses into one account so you’ll have to make a separate account for each address.

For packages with USPS Tracking, users will be able to view delivery status, provide delivery instructions, manage their notifications, and re-schedule delivery right from the Informed Delivery dashboard.

How to sign up:

1. Go to informeddelivery.usps.com/box/pages/intro/start.action
2. Enter your zip code to confirm this feature is available in your area & then click ‘Sign Up’
3. Once you register, you’ll have to answer a few personal questions to confirm your identity
4. Under ‘Account Management’ be sure that ‘Opt-In for informed delivery’ is checked off

You’ll begin receiving emails within three business days.
