U.S. Postal Service is enhancing the mail experience with Informed Delivery, a free, customer-facing feature allows users to digitally preview their incoming mail and manage their packages in one convenient location. You can view what is coming to your mailbox whenever, wherever --- even while traveling --- on a computer, tablet, or mobile device.

And during the holiday season, you can help protect your delivered packages from theft!

With Informed Delivery, you can do the following:

·  Interact with incoming mail and packages on a secure, online dashboard
·  Track the delivery status of packages and when they’re scheduled to arrive
·  Leave delivery instructions if you won’t be home to accept a package
·  Schedule a package to be redelivered if you miss a delivery
·  Set up email and/or text notifications to track delivery status of package(s)
·  Just like a physical mailbox, Informed Delivery is based on a delivery point address. Multiple residents may sign up.

Currently, nearly seven million people nationwide are enrolled in Informed Delivery. How do you sign up?

·  There are three different paths, depending on whether or not you have an existing personal account at usps.com.
·  Navigate to the Informed Delivery website at informeddelivery.usps.com and select “Sign Up for Free.”
·  You will need to verify that you live at an eligible address and ZIP Code, and then validate your identity (if you have not already done so)
·  Once successfully enrolled, you should start receiving Informed Delivery images within three business days.
