How to Track a Package Without a Tracking Number USPS

You can follow several steps if you need to track USPS packages, but you lost your tracking number.

  1. Contact the sender: You can contact the sender to get the tracking number. You may be able to find it, or they might have it.
  2. You should check your email. The tracking number might be in the email if you were emailed a confirmation or receipt.
  3. You should check your mailbox. If you received the package using USPS, the sender might have included a tracking code on the shipping label. You should check your mailbox and any other place where the package may be stored.
  4. Visit your local USPS Office: If none of the above work, go to your local USPS Office and ask them if they can help locate the package. You should bring all relevant information, such as the address and sender, date of delivery, and any other information.

Tracking a package with no tracking number is possible, but it can be difficult and sometimes impossible. Keep track of your tracking number if you need them to locate a package later.
