Kinda.
The USPS does not offer tracking on first class letters or cards, however Orange Mailer incorporates whats know as an "Intelligent Mail Barcode" (IMb) (what we call Status Track) onto the label itself.
Th IMb is then scanned by USPS and serves as a status of your letter. This status provides information that lets you know that USPS has received your letter, where it is in the pipeline (which post office), and if it is out for delivery.
Unlike a tracking number, the Status Check offered by Orange Mailer has one key specific difference:
- At no time is the IMb manually scanned. Delivery status is never actually "delivered" - but rather in the delivery persons cart.
USPS does not offer actual tracking on First Class letters, cards or flats. Your item will never be scanned at delivery. However, you will have proof of mailing, an estimated date of delivery and an indication of when your item was placed with the carrier to be delivered.
First Class letter, flat and postcard status is shown on the History tab, on the Convenience Plus or above plans. IMb status is displayed as text, and shows the last scanned location.
NOTE: Orange Mailer does not guarantee the accuracy of any scan, or that the scan will take place. Use of the IMb is dependent on the US Postal Services system.
This service is presently only available in the Convenience+ / Saving and Professional plan
