Whether you are sending it or receiving it, your mail is important to you and the U.S. Postal Service ® . When mail is lost or delayed, we want to find it. If you think your package or mail is lost or delayed, follow these steps to help us find your mail.
Before you begin your search, if your package or mail has tracking, check USPS Tracking ® to see its current status. Go to Tracking Informed Delivery ® Users
Informed Delivery provides a digital preview of your incoming mail. There may be occasions where a mail item may be delayed in reaching its destination. For additional information, please visit Informed Delivery FAQs.
We recommend that you complete our online help request form before you start a missing mail search. Please use a desktop computer to submit your form. We'll forward your request to your local Post Office ™ facility to help locate any missing items. Start Your Form
When we receive your Missing Mail search request, we will send you a confirmation email. We will also send you periodic updates about the search.
If we find your package or mail, we will send it to the address you provided. Please note, sometimes we cannot find missing mail items. It is also possible that your package or mail will not be recovered because it was not safe to forward.
If you used a service with a money-back guarantee such as Priority Mail Express ® , you may be able to request a refund.
If your mail or package included insurance, you may be able to file an insurance claim. For damaged or missing contents, we recommend filing a claim immediately, but you must file no later than 60 days from the date of mailing.
