About this app

Access popular USPS.com® tools on the go with the “USPS Mobile®” app: calculate shipping prices (limitations apply), find a Post Office ™, look up a ZIP Code™, schedule a next-day pickup, request USPS to hold your mail, access Informed Delivery® to track packages and digitally preview incoming mail, and more.

• Check the status of shipments sent using Priority Mail®, Priority Mail Express®, Certified Mail®, and certain other delivery services. Nickname your shipments and sign up for text and email alerts to notify you of the delivery status.

• Calculate a Domestic or International Price to determine how much postage you will need when you ship a letter, card, large envelope, or package (limitations apply). Choose retail or online pricing, add any extra services you need, and view the total, too.

• Find USPS® Locations when you need to get to a Post Office™, Self-Service Kiosk (APC®) or collection box with an easy-to-filter locator. The USPS Mobile app uses your device’s GPS to show your closest options on a map, along with their Regular Hours, Special Hours and Last Collection Times, and provides mapped results with driving, walking, or transit directions.

• Look up a ZIP Code™ for any U.S. or Canadian address.

• Schedule a free next-day pickup and have your Letter Carrier pick up Priority Mail®, Priority Mail Express®, Global Express Guaranteed®, or Merchandise Return Services shipments from your home or office during regular mail delivery.

• Request Hold Mail Service while you’re away, and we’ll keep your mail at your local Post Office™ for you to pick up or be delivered by your carrier when you return.

• Scan the barcode on shipping labels with your device’s camera. The app recognizes the shipment and stores the label number, so you can stay on top of delivery status.

• Link to Informed Delivery to track packages and digitally preview your household’s incoming mail arriving soon; view grayscale images of the exterior, address side of letter-sized mailpieces.

Ratings and reviews

Update: I've updated this to reflect recent changes...primarily the changes to tracking items. They have taken away the ability to add any kind of "nickname" where we could put in some kind of info. that would be meaningful to us. Now it's just a list showing the long tracking numbers resulting in a lot of research trying to find out who it's coming from Very Good For Basic Tasks but some more sensitive tasks will take you to the website (probably better that way).

Worked when initially released (2011). Now, I am not able to track more than one package at a time. Nickname feature is long gone. Clicking the tracking number sends you to the online tool to track packages and request updates. The guts of the app are gone. I now use another app that is free and works within the US as well as internationally. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app multiple times over the past couple of years. It gets worse each time.

Informed delivery not working. I've been using this app for many years now and never had issues. I havent been able to log in to my informed delivery account for months now. This is how I know if packages are being delivered and when they are delivered. Ive unistalled and reinstalled and still not working. I even tried doing it on the website and having no luck. The tracking feature doesnt work either. Please fix this issue.
