DETROIT, MI — While many Americans are enjoying the summer weather by taking vacations and long weekends, the United States Postal Service is always on duty.

Whether customers have their mail on a vacation hold or have a neighbor picking it up for them, Informed Delivery helps residential customers preview their incoming mail.

Millions of customers already access the free notification service which provides digital outside images of letter-sized mail destined for your home via a daily email or through informeddelivery.usps.com. 

More information on the service can be found at www.InformedDelivery.com.  

Digitally previewing your mail and managing your packages helps you know what scheduled delivery is coming to your home even when you’re away on vacation. Informed Delivery allows you to view greyscale images of the exterior, address side of letter-sized mailpieces and track packages in one convenient location.

The Postal Service receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.
