USPS Delivery Confirmation is a service offered by USPS that provides tracking information for packages and letters. You receive a unique tracking number when creating a label with delivery confirmation. This number allows you to track the progress of your shipment as it moves through the postal system.
The tracking information includes status events such as:
Acceptance/ Pre-Shipment
Moving Through Network
Preparing for Delivery
Out for Delivery
Delivered/Delivery Attempted
This helps you know where your packages are and what's happening. It adds an extra layer of openness and safety to the shipping process.
Add USPS Signature Required
If the service you selected includes tracking, you can track the delivery of your packages for no additional cost. Adding a signature requirement comes with a fee but it helps ensure your packages get delivered correctly. USPS offers three types of signature required options:
Signature Required
Adult Signature Required
Adult Signature Restricted Delivery
You can set one of these options when you create a label.
Notes about USPS Signature Confirmation USPS requires an adult aged 21 or older to sign for the package when using Adult Signature Required.
Adult Signature Restricted requires a specific adult to sign for the package.
Adult Signature can be used with Priority Mail or Ground Advantage in addition to these USPS options:
USPS Insurance
Hold for Pickup
Return Receipt
Signature Confirmation with Signature Waiver lets the mail carrier sign for a package if nobody is there to receive it and there's a safe spot to leave it. Customers will still know when the carrier delivered the package unless they ask for the delivery person's signature.
Customers cannot waive the signature using Signature Confirmation with other special services.
Signature Confirmation is not available to APO/FPO or diplomatic addresses or locations in Palau, Micronesia, the Northern Mariana Islands, or the Marshall Islands.
USPS may request you use Certified or Registered Mail if sending important or valuable documents.
The USPS keeps delivery status and signature available for one year after the date of delivery. You can request that a copy of the signature be faxed, mailed, or emailed at no additional expense.
Faxed receipts are generally processed within two hours, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year
Mailed receipts are sent as First-Class Mail® items and should arrive in two to three business days
To receive a copy of the recipient's signature, call USPS at 1-800-222-1811 Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 8:30 PM EST.
The PO endorsed Joe... they shouldn’t even be in the same county with a ballot!
One reason I rarely buy at eBay is that they usually use the USPS.
I don’t have anything favorable to say about the USPS it is inferior to UPS in pretty much every way.
It is a crock. I constantly do not get packages sent by USPS. Tracking says unable to access driveway, bs. I just went up or down the driveway with no problem. No one to sign when I am sitting at the house and they never came. Then about half the time it makes it to my local Post Office then ends up two states away before coming back. I have zero respect for the PO.
Thanks to mail in voting, I’ve either not received, or have something I mailed not received, at least one piece of mail during this time period.
Usually that only happens around the tax due date.
For three days in a row, I got messages that said my package would be delivered “tomorrow.” Well, tomorrow never arrived until I started making pointed inquiries with the shipper.
Just the opposite for me. UOS is at the bottom. I never know where they will leave my package. USPS and Amazon are the best.
Well I get my packages from USPS but the local branch has NO stamps. You cannot buy stamps there because they ran out 2 months ago and they can’t get any new ones delivered to sell, Never, in all my 62 years, have I heard of this happening.
There is a scam out right now. You get a text message saying it’s from USPS, asking for a response. My husband fell for it and went to the post office. They said it was fake. I’m not sure exactly what the point of the scam is.
