You don’t have to give us any information about your package either, including which courier it is being handled by or where it is going, and we don’t even ask you to sign up on our website. All we need is the USPS tracking number of your shipping which you will receive by a confirmation email once you have completed your order from a marketplace or merchant which is sending your package or when you purchase USPS postal services directly.

This is because Ship Resolve has a built-in auto-detection functionality which allows us to read your package details and scan the internet for any information about the status and location of your package. It will then deliver any relevant information to you instantly; the info, you receive is the closest to real-time as possible.

What should I do If I have a problem with my USPS shipping?

If you have an issue with your USPS shipping, you are advised to contact USPS directly. While Ship Resolve can offer you the latest USPS shipping tracking information, including the status and current location of your package, any issues with delivery will need to be taken up with the handler directly. It is advised that you search for the latest USPS tracking information using the Ship Resolve website so that you are in the know about the information that may be needed when speaking to customer services.

This information may also help you understand what the issue is with your package. For instance, if it is being held at customs because of an outstanding tax payment or prohibited goods, you will be notified after searching for USPS shipping information on the Ship Resolve website, which could help your query to be solved quicker by the USPS team. Please find USPS shipping customer services contacts below.

What are USPS shipping notifications?

When you are tracking with Ship Resolve, you will receive USPS shipping notifications on your package which will alert you to new events which are happening with your package. These will generally accompany the location of where your package is or last was (if it is in transit there may not be information about its exact location). Some of these are listed below. If you have any questions about your USPS shipping notifications, you should contact the courier directly as they will be supplied by their systems and relayed by Ship Resolve. We do not create notification status types.

• Pre-Shipment: USPS has received a notification of your package however they have not received the package yet.
• Arrival recorded at USPS: The package has been accepted by USPS and will not either be dispatched immediately or processed and then dispatched.
• At customs: Package has arrived at customs.
• In transit: Your package is being moved from one location to another as part of its journey.
• Out for delivery: The USPS package aims to be delivered to its final destination on the day this notification is shown.
• Delivered: You or the recipient have collected the package at the delivery address.

About the US Mail Services shipping

The USPS (United States Postal Services) is the national American post service and one of the biggest package delivery operators in the USA. As well as domestic delivery, USPS offers international delivery options to lots of countries worldwide. While domestic delivery is generally referred to as posting with USPS, international postage is usually referred to as USPS shipping or shipping with USPS. This is because one of the most common forms of USPS delivery to international destinations is by ship. While USPS delivery uses other modes of transport as well, such as air and land, the catch-all term which has been coined in the industry for the movement of goods by the courier is USPS shipping.

USPS shipping is a complex operation that often involves multiple logistics companies and couriers to complete, especially when USPS packages are destined for overseas travel. This has left many wondering how to get effective USPS shipping tracking in order to keep up to date on the progress of their USPS shipment. USPS shipping, much like the other major couriers (and its competitors such as DHL, FedEx, UPS, and so on), offers to track.

This is because as mentioned above, USPS shipping methods can involve a number of third-party actors which may mean that it becomes difficult to track a USPS package at certain points within its journey. This isn’t true with Ship Resolve, because the platform works much differently from USPS shipping tracking.

While USPS can only track USPS packages, Ship Resolve actively tracks thousands of different couriers, e-tailers, marketplace orders, and more to bring the latest information for all our users on their individual packages. This means you can get complete, universal USPS shipping tracking on any order all in one place.
