USPS Tracking Number - How to Track a Package

Track delivery of your USPS shipments

Stamps.com makes it easy to track packages and share USPS tracking numbers with your customers. Once you print a shipping label, you can choose to email the tracking link information to your customers from within Stamps.com.

Providing your customers with a USPS tracking number keeps them in the loop about the delivery status of their orders and at the same time, you demonstrate a high level of customer service by making their package details easily available. Since tracking information is readily accessible for your customers, the number of customer service calls and requests to track shipments are greatly reduced.
