About Letter Track

Letter Track is a software service for adding USPS Informed Visibility mail-tracking barcodes to United States First-Class letter mail, flat mail, and qualifying bubble mailers. USPS transports and scans the mailpiece; Letter Track creates the barcode, captures available scans, and presents tracking information to senders and recipients.

Quick Answer

Use the Letter Track tracking screen or 17TRACK with the barcode identifier printed above the recipient address. Letter Track tracking is intended for USPS mailpieces prepared through Letter Track; an order number or marketplace reference is not the barcode. If no event appears, check that the barcode was printed correctly, the mailpiece entered USPS processing, and the identifier was entered without typing errors.

Pro Tip: 17TRACK can display available tracking events, but it cannot redirect mail, approve a refund, investigate physical delivery, or decide a claim.

How to Track Letter Track Packages

Letter Track tracking is created by the sender when the sender imports addresses or enters them manually, prints the Letter Track barcode, applies regular postage, and places the mailpiece into the USPS network.

PathSteps
Letter Track accountSign in, open the searchable tracking screen, and search by recipient address, date range, internal reference, or order number.
17TRACKEnter the Letter Track-generated tracking identifier in 17TRACK and review the available USPS-related events.
Sender workflowImport or enter addresses, print the barcode on an envelope or label, apply regular postage, then use a mailbox pickup, USPS drop box, or Post Office drop-off.

The tracking identifier is normally supplied by the sender’s Letter Track account or tracking email. A marketplace order number, customer reference, postage receipt number, and address are different identifiers. A newly printed barcode may have no event until USPS processing produces a scan. Recipients should ask the sender for the barcode; senders should verify the address, print quality, postage, and mailing handoff.

Tracking Number Formats and Examples

Letter Track uses a USPS Intelligent Mail Barcode above the address block. The supplied Letter Track pages describe the barcode function but do not publish a single public text-length pattern or a complete human-readable example. Do not infer a service from an unverified prefix; use the Letter Track account or 17TRACK’s carrier recognition.

Tracking Number Format

Identifier familyNormalized pattern

Recipient address searchAddress text, rather than a parcel-style tracking number, can be used in Letter Track’s searchable dashboard.
Internal reference or order numberMerchant-entered reference used to find a mailpiece in Letter Track; it is not necessarily issued by USPS.

An Intelligent Mail Barcode is not automatically the same thing as a USPS package tracking number. Letter Track’s documented use is machineable First-Class letter, flat, and bubble mail tracking. Letter mail must be less than 6 by 11.5 inches, no more than one-quarter inch thick, and under 4 ounces. Flat mail may be up to 12 by 15 inches, no more than three-quarters inch thick, and under 13 ounces. Bubble mailers qualify according to their size, thickness, and weight.

Tracking Statuses and Meanings

Letter Track’s pages specifically describe Out for Delivery and Delivered in Mailbox. Other displayed events represent USPS barcode scans captured by Letter Track and should be interpreted as visibility events, not proof that Letter Track physically handled the mail.

Status Quick Lookup

StatusLifecycle stage
No scan or no eventPre-processing visibility is absent; the barcode may not yet have been scanned or may have been entered incorrectly.
In transit / USPS facility scanUSPS processing has generated a visibility event while the mailpiece moves through the postal system.
Out for DeliveryThe mailpiece has reached the destination Post Office and is being placed on a USPS postal truck for delivery.
Delivered in MailboxLetter Track says this event indicates that a postal truck containing the addressed mailpiece traveled past the mailbox at the recorded date and time.
Exception or return indicationReview the event detail and contact the sender or USPS for the physical-mail issue; Letter Track does not control delivery resolution.

Services and Delivery Times

Letter Track’s documented service is domestic USPS First-Class mail visibility for letters, flats, and qualifying bubble mailers. The site gives a 3 to 5 business-day delivery expectation for First-Class mail; it is an estimate rather than a delivery guarantee.

Delivery Time

ServicePublished delivery standard
USPS First-Class letter, flat, or qualifying bubble mail3 to 5 business days; the Letter Track page presents this as an expected delivery time, not a guarantee.

Destination Country Delivery Times

Destination Country / RegionPrimary service type
United States domestic destinationsUSPS First-Class letter, flat, or qualifying bubble mail; published expectation is 3 to 5 business days.
International destinationsLetter Track’s supplied public pages describe a United States domestic First-Class workflow rather than an international service schedule.

Delivery can be affected by USPS processing volume, weekends, holidays, address quality, weather, service interruptions, machineability, and local delivery conditions. A scan timestamp is a visibility event; it is not a promise of arrival at a particular hour.

Common Tracking Problems and Solutions

Start with the identifier and the latest scan, then separate a tracking-display problem from a physical USPS delivery problem. The sender generally has the best access to the Letter Track dashboard and mailing records.

Problem & Solution

Problem/status shownCheck first
Invalid or empty resultConfirm that the Letter Track barcode identifier, rather than an order number, was entered; ask the sender to search by address or reference.
No update after mailingConfirm barcode print quality, postage, mailing date, and whether the item entered USPS processing; then contact Letter Track support for a dashboard issue.
Long transit gapAllow for USPS scan gaps and processing volume; the sender should retain the mailing record and review the latest event.
Delivered in Mailbox but missingCheck the mailbox, household members, building staff, neighbors, and the delivery time; the recipient should contact USPS and the sender.
Damaged, lost, or returned mailPhotograph the item and packaging, preserve evidence, notify the sender, and use the applicable USPS or merchant resolution process.

Enter the Letter Track-generated identifier in the Letter Track dashboard or 17TRACK to view available USPS scan events.

3. What does a Letter Track barcode look like?

It is an Intelligent Mail Barcode printed above the recipient address on the envelope or label.

4. When will the first Letter Track event appear?

The first event appears when USPS generates a scan captured by Letter Track; printing a label alone does not prove physical acceptance.

5. Why is my Letter Track tracking not updating?

A scan may not yet be available, the barcode may be unreadable, or the mailpiece may not have entered USPS processing; ask the sender to verify the dashboard record.

6. How long does Letter Track First-Class mail take?

7. What should I do after a Letter Track delivery failure?

Review the latest event, verify the address, and ask the sender to contact Letter Track while the recipient contacts USPS about physical delivery.

8. What should I do if Letter Track says Delivered in Mailbox?

Check the mailbox, household members, building staff, and neighbors, then contact USPS and the sender with the event time.

9. Does Letter Track compensate for lost or damaged mail?

Letter Track supplies tracking visibility; a loss or damage resolution must be handled through the applicable USPS or merchant process.

10. How can I contact Letter Track?

Use info@letter-track.com for inquiries or support@letter-track.com for technical support.

Expert FAQs

Letter Track describes it as the time when a geo-enabled USPS delivery vehicle carrying the addressed mailpiece traveled past the mailbox.

17. Can Letter Track search by an order number?

Yes; the Letter Track tracking screen supports searches using an internal reference and order number field, although that reference is separate from the USPS barcode.
