Why can't I get current tracking information from the Post Office?
Only Express Mail is tracked at every stage of the delivery process. First Class and Priority Mail (which is what we use) is only scaned after it has been delivered for Delivery Confirmation or if there is a problem and the package is being returned. The Postal Service website has an FAQ page that describes in more detail how their tracking system works. Click Here to see the US Post Office FAQ page.
