You all input about USPS informed delivery

[XanaDUer2]

Last week, I tried signing up for ID. Wish I hadn't.

I messed it up by creating a new online usps account. My brain is a bit fuzzy from meds. I tried signing up on my regular account. According to my online accounts, I DON'T HAVE ID. yet, I get a letter from USPS welcoming me to ID, with an opt-out code. I'm totally confused. I called the service 800 number, but keep getting cut off cause it's Sunday.

Not getting any email scans. Do you think this would effect my regular mail delivery? I haven't gotten mail since Wednesday. I really need my mail. I'm a nervous wreck about this.

And mad at myself for doing it.

1. When you go to usps.com and click on INFORMED DELIVERY

what happens next?

What happens when you sign in with the info you have for your account?


Do you have TWO seperate accounts (by mistake) using the SAME email? Your account is based on your email.

[XanaDUer2]

3. I kept clicking the ID box and setting it up.

Yes, same email for both accounts. Being a dumbo for forgetting I already had one.

[Eliot Rosewater]

5. I guess it takes up to 10 days, like the other person here said.

Why do you think you have TWO separate accounts?

[XanaDUer2]

7. Bc I got an email welcoming me to the 2nd account, too

One paper welcome, one email. 2 sep "accounts"

[Eliot Rosewater]

9. My spouse has one based on her email and I have one and for some reason we get

THREE emails from them daily instead of two, so I think you will be OK.

Wait a few days and see if you start getting them, but if you sign in to your account with only one email, you would have only one account.

I am pretty sure no matter how much you screw up (and I dont think you did) your ID it will NOT affect actual delivery to the box.

2. You should be fine, mine took a week or 10 days before I started

Receiving the daily emails with an image of each piece of mail. I absolutely love it, you will too.

4. I use it. Love it.

Getting the images doesn't affect your actual mail. (If that's what you were asking . . . I may be a .)

[XanaDUer2]

6. Yes, I'm terrified

I screwed up physical mail delivery by messing up ID. I suffer from anxiety

8. Signing up for ID won't affect your delivery, whether successful or not.

Mail these days pass through a machine that takes a snapshot of every piece sorted. The only thing ID does is allow you to see the images that the sorting machine uses.

Hand-sorted mail won't show up on ID.

But you don't need to worry about it stopping or delaying your mail. It is only a "window" into the sorting program so you can see what's being processed. Like being able to see your pizza being made through the window at a pizzeria, it doesn't affect the process.

11. They had a separate app for this but of course DeJoy got rid of it.

12. Ty

Hopefully, I'll get some tomorrow. I mean, I got zero, not even junk mail

[Eliot Rosewater]

10. AT one point I went several days without mail so I went to my local usps, waited in line

and asked them if there was an issue, there wasn't. It was just a coincidence.

Do not panic, you will be fine. I have anxiety like that also, so I hear you.

16. Ah, anxiety.

The trusted friend. You can always count on it.

14. It won't affect your mail delivery.

All it is is an optional service where they scan your incoming mail and email you the photos so you know in advance what mail you will be getting in the next day or two. Not signing up will make no difference at all wrt the actual delivery.

[XanaDUer2]

15. I guess what throws me off

Is online not signed up, and a welcoming letter to ID. Hence my fears

17. The PO

Lost my trust when it took 3 weeks to deliver a registered letter and I had to cancel the check
