How to Track International Postal Mail

When you send a package through the post office, they will give you a tracking number with a receipt so you can have proof that it was mailed. You can get on the USPS website to track your package and see exactly what locations it is being sent to. It will show you if it has been successfully delivered, or if it is still en route to its destination.

1. Navigate to usps.com to track international postal mail. Click “Track and Confirm” on the left side of the page.


2. Find your receipt on the paper that the post office gave you when you mailed off your package. When you mail something at the post office, they will always give you a tracking number that you can use to track your page. Enter this number into the box, and then click the “Find” button. You can enter up to 10 different receipt numbers for USPS to track for you at a time.


3. Look at the information that is displayed on your screen. It will show you the tracking information for the package that you sent. You will be able to track it at each location it has been. When the package gets to a certain location, it is scanned and entered in the system. Your package may go through several locations before it meets its final destination.


4. Look to see if it says “Delivered” as the tracking status. If you see this, this means the package was successfully delivered to the location you specified. It will also show you the date and time it was delivered, and sometimes will even show you exactly where it was delivered to.


5. Keep looking at this website to track your package until it is successfully delivered to its final destination.
