The US Postal Service offers a free and optional notification service named Informed Delivery that allows you to interact with your packages and incoming mail in one place.
USPS online dashboard gives residential consumers the ability to digitally preview their mail before it arrives and it also informs you about mail and packages being sent to your home. The best part of informed delivery is you can view upcoming mail on your computer, tablet or mobile device whenever, wherever.

What If You Don’t Have Tracking Number
Sorry guys if you don’t have a tracking number then you can’t able to check the specific time for a particular delivery. That’s because there are a number of mail delivered to each address manually every day. So without tracking number you can’t able to check the status of what time does the mail come to your home.
How To Check Mail Before Arrives At Your Home
If you want to check your mail as early as possible before it arrives at your home and it’s very urgent to check then don’t worry, USPS scans the outside of your mail so that you can check the digital preview each morning before mail is actually delivered. That capture the front side of the letter that shows the who the sender is and to whom the letter is addressed.
More than a year ago USPS first started testing this free service and now it’s finally rolled out and available in almost every major metropolitan area. The digital copy of mail appears in the back and white color and it contains up to 10 digital snapshots.
In case if you received the more than 10 images of the first class mail then you will get 10 images and the link of the remaining images. Keep in mind these images are only available for the next seven days.
If mail is not handled via automation for some reason then an image cannot be sent and notifications are sent Monday to Saturday when mail is processed.
