Going back to Step 2, we’d like to pay some additional attention to the mentioned parcel number, required to track a package USPS.

Art of Tracking number

The key to the treasure trove of tracking results is hidden in your parcel number. But not only does it give you an access to your parcel’s status archive in the database, it is also a code, in which all the information about the parcel is encrypted, including the type of service sender chose for delivery. To track USPS registered, priority, certified, express mail dispatched to domestic locations, your number should consist of twenty two digits, starting with 9. For guaranteed express mail worldwide your number will include ten digits, starting with 82.

If your parcel was dispatched as international mail its track-number will comprises of 13 symbols with 2 letters at the beginning, 9 digits and letters US at the end. The starting letter of the number you use to track international package USPS can also reveal some secrets about the type of parcel. Like, for example, EC goes for priority express, CP − for priority mail, anything starting with U means, that your item was dispatched as unregistered and will not receive any status updates outside the US.

You can find the number in the shipping receipt, shipping confirmation e-mail if the parcel was sent from online retailer, e-mail confirmation if the sender registered parcel at company’s official website before sending. If the sender does not provide you parcel number, or the number looks nothing like the description above, ask them for a copy of any of these documents to confirm the dispatch.

Little Known Fact About Well Known Problem

From time to time we do receive questions like “I lost/forgot/do not have a tracking number. Can I track USPS package by name?”. And let’s make it clear, we are totally not opposed to the idea of sender giving parcel a name. Though, if you do give it a name, it would be harder to let it go when the time comes. But unfortunately, even if we do say “Yes” to using the given name for identifying each particular parcel in the system, computer still says No. Therefore, in order to obtain adequate information we strongly recommend using your parcel number.
