USPS Tracking Plus is an optional service offered by the United States Postal Service (USPS) that provides additional features and services for an added fee. Here is what USPS Tracking Plus does:
-
Extends tracking history: USPS Tracking Plus enables you to extend your access to the tracking history for your package on USPS.com. Currently, access to tracking information for non-signature items is available for 120 days. With USPS Tracking Plus, you can access delivery information for up to 10 years for a single package.
-
Provides detailed tracking information: USPS Tracking Plus offers a detailed tracking history that allows you to track the package every step of the way: from when it enters the USPS network to when it is delivered to your door.
-
Offers notifications: USPS Tracking Plus allows you to receive text or email notifications about the status of your parcel.
-
Allows tracking on a map: USPS Tracking Plus includes the ability to track packages on a map.
-
Enables scheduling of package pickups: USPS Tracking Plus allows you to schedule package pickups.
-
Provides insurance coverage: USPS Tracking Plus offers insurance coverage for high-value items, giving you peace of mind when ordering such items.
USPS Tracking Plus has set fees for how long you want to implement it. The program allows customers to pay a fee to get the time extension for pulling tracking information for letters and packages. The amount of information required to be held is massive, so there is more technology and storage involved. USPS Tracking Plus can be used as evidence in a variety of claim resolutions and civil disputes, making it particularly useful for those who consistently deal with legal, business, or financial issues.
