How USPS Tracking Works
Table of Contents
When you drop off your package at the USPS counter, the package gets scanned and accepted. Your package will get sorted towards the close of work (towards the evening).
This means that your package early leaves the USPS office until this process happens. At this point, your package is moved to the sorting location.
Sorting office is where mails and packages are sorted for the different locations they are going to. At this time, there are no tracking updates while the package is moving on a truck or plane, waiting for the time to sort, loaded or unloaded.
It’s only after the package is at the destination post office that it gets scanned during sorting. This is when you get the tracking update. USPS tracking offers enough updates for customers to track their mail but it’s far from enough as most customers might expect.
