Package order emails

USPS has introduced an email notification system to let customers and Post Offices know the status of their orders for expedited packaging supplies and extra services forms.

The system, which went into effect Aug. 31, sends emails to customers and Post Offices when their orders are received, processed, shipped and delivered.

The notifications will improve the way USPS communicates with its customers, while reducing the number of reorders and inquiries to Customer Care Centers.

Customers can receive the notifications by placing orders through the Customer Care Centers or by providing their email address on usps.com.
