Let's Dive into the USPS Informed Delivery App Beta, Mate!
Guide for Enrolling in the Beta Test of the USPS's 'Informed Delivery' Mobile Application
Ever thought about knowing what's coming in your mailbox before it arrives? Well, that's possible with the USPS' "Informed Delivery" feature! By signing up, the USPS will send you daily emails revealing all mail and packages you're expected to receive that day (just the grayscale, address side, though). If you fancy the thrill of surprises, this ain't the service for you. But for the rest of us, it's a nifty way to keep tabs on our daily post.
The USPS is ramping things up with the development of a dedicated Informed Delivery app. This bad boy will send push notifications when new mail and packages are on their way and let you share package status with others. Say you sent a pal a package, you could pass along the tracking info directly from the app.
The app's UI might not be vastly different from the traditional emailed Informed Delivery, but the push notifications are a neat addition, especially when the emails usually get misplaced in my Inbox these days.
But here's the catch: you won't spot this Informed Delivery app in your iPhone or Android App Store, as the USPS is yet to finish it. However, if you can't wait to get your hands on this app, there's a way to test it early—assuming the beta isn't filled up by the time you sign up.
