The United States Postal Service (USPS) delivers mail and packages to every address in the United States, handles forwarding and PO boxes, and offers passport application services at select post offices. You may need to call USPS to track a package that shows delivered but was not received, submit a missing mail claim, fix a delivery issue, forward your mail after moving, or ask about a hold mail request.

Have your tracking number ready
For package questions, have your USPS tracking number (22 digits starting with 9400, 9205, 9261, etc.) ready. For delivery issues, your address is also needed.
Many USPS tasks can be handled online at usps.com or via the USPS Mobile app: tracking, hold mail, address change, and missing mail claims. Calling is most useful for escalating a delivery issue after online tools have failed.
