As of 2011, the US Postal Service employs 546,000 people, making it one of the largest employers in the country.
The USPS operates the largest civilian vehicle fleet in the world - about 214 thousand vehicles.
Postal correspondence is delivered to 151 million addresses throughout the country. 40% of the world's mail is handled by the United States Postal Service.
Each private house has its own mailbox. Each box has a special "flag". Americans who decide to send a letter or parcel may not go to Postal office, and having purchased envelopes, stamps and packaging for parcels in advance, pack everything at home and put it in your own mailbox, while raising the "flag". If it is raised, this is a signal for the passing postman that he needs not to put the mail, but to pick it up.

To track your parcel, you need to take a few simple steps.
1. Go to home page
2. Enter the track code in the field with the heading "Track mailing"
3. Click on the "Track parcel" button located to the right of the field.
4. After a few seconds, the tracking result is displayed.
5. Study the result, and especially carefully the last status.
6. The predicted delivery period, displayed in the track code information.
Try it, it's not difficult;)
If you do not understand the movement between postal companies, click the link with the text "Group by company", which is located under the tracking statuses.
If you have any difficulties with statuses on English language, click on the link with the text "Translate into Russian", which is located under the tracking statuses.
Carefully read the section "Information about the track code", there you will find approximate delivery times and other useful information.
If, during tracking, a block is displayed in a red frame with the heading "Pay Attention!", Carefully read everything that is written in it.
In these information blocks, you will find 90% of the answers to all your questions.
If in the "Pay Attention!" it is written that the track code is not tracked in the country of destination, in this case, tracking the parcel becomes impossible after the parcel is sent to the country of destination / after arriving at the Moscow Distribution Center / Item arrived at Pulkovo / Arrived at Pulkovo / Left Luxembourg / Left Helsinki / Sending to the Russian Federation or after a long pause of 1 - 2 weeks, it is impossible to track the location of the parcel. Nothing, and nowhere. No way at all =)
In this case, you need to wait for a notification from your post office.
To calculate the delivery time in Russia (for example, after export, from Moscow to your city), use the "Delivery Control Time Calculator"
If the seller promised that the package would arrive in two weeks, and the package travels for more than two weeks, this is normal, the sellers are interested in selling, and therefore they are misleading.
If less than 7-14 days have passed since the receipt of the track code, and the package is not tracked, or the seller claims to have sent the package, and the status of the package is "the item pre-advised" / "Received electronic notification"does not change for several days, this is normal, you can read more details by clicking on the link:.
If the status of a postal item does not change for 7 - 20 days, do not worry, this is normal for international postal items.
If your previous orders arrived in 2-3 weeks, and a new package has been traveling for more than a month, this is normal, because parcels go on different routes, different ways, can wait for sending by plane for 1 day, or maybe a week.
If the parcel has left the sorting center, customs, intermediate point and there are no new statuses for 7 - 20 days, do not worry, the parcel is not a courier who carries the parcel from one city to your home. In order for a new status to appear, the parcel must arrive, unload, scan, etc. at the next sorting point or post office, and this takes much more time than just getting from one city to another.
If you do not understand the meaning of such statuses as Acceptance / Export / Import / Arrived at the place of delivery, etc., you can see the decoding of the main statuses of international mail:
If, 5 days before the end of the protection period, the parcel is not delivered to your post office, you have the right to open a dispute.
If, based on the above, you do not understand anything, read this instruction again, and again, until you are completely enlightened;)
