GRAND RAPIDS — Whether it is a card from Grandma, a bill, or a special surprise package, the U.S. Postal Service has a feature that allows you to see what is coming to your mailbox — anytime, anywhere — even while traveling.

Informed Delivery users can digitally preview their mail through email notification, online dashboard or mobile app.

Users also have the ability to interact with digital content, such as special offers and related links, directly from Informed Delivery notifications.

To sign up, go to informeddelivery.usps.com and follow the prompts for verification. This process provides security measures to keep your mail and physical address private.

Starting early 2019, the Postal Service expects to begin offering an additional Informed Delivery option that will allow customers to sign for deliveries for some packages with an electronic signature. This enhancement will add convenience for customers who aren’t always home to sign for their deliveries.

Informed Delivery is free, with no cost to sign up and no additional charges for any of the added enhancements.
