That package you've been eagerly awaiting? Sometimes, it takes a detour. If your USPS mail is MIA, don't panic! Here's your guide to tracking it down.
**First Stop: The Basics.** Double-check the delivery address you provided. A simple typo can send your package on an unintended adventure. Next, peek around your property. Check with neighbors or anyone else who might have picked up your mail by mistake.
**Level Up: Online Tracking.** Use the tracking number (if available) on the USPS website. This often provides the latest updates on your package's whereabouts. Look for any exceptions or unusual activity.
**When All Else Fails: File a Claim.** If tracking provides no answers, file a missing mail search request online at the USPS website. Provide as much detail as possible – sender and recipient information, package description, and tracking number (if you have it).
**Pro-Tip:** Consider signing up for USPS Informed Delivery. This free service provides digital previews of your mail, making it easier to spot potential missing items before they become a problem. Don't let a 'missing mail' situation ruin your day! These steps will help you navigate the process and (hopefully) reunite you with your package.
