Good Morning and welcome to our group. We are glad that you are here.

Let me post some links for you:

For those of you who have USPS Informed Delivery, I received an email today that they are discontinuing the App as of 6/12/2021 and you have to download theUSPS Informed Delivery Mobile Appto your phone. I just did it and the process is pretty simple.
This is a great app. You can see what mail you have coming every day.
