Learn how to track USPS mail that has been forwarded to a new address and what updates to expect during the forwarding process.
Forwarded mail tracking is like hide-and-seek—USPS hides it, and you seek it. Sometimes it updates. Sometimes it goes rogue. It’s a thrilling postal scavenger hunt!
Once mail is forwarded, USPS may update the original tracking with forwarding details. However, tracking can pause temporarily. Informed Delivery and contacting USPS can provide more precise forwarding information.
When your mail gets forwarded, the tracking might show a little pause or new movement. It’ll usually say something like “forwarded to new address.” Keep an eye out and give it a little time.
Forwarded mail may experience a delay in tracking updates as it's rerouted. USPS tracking often reflects “forwarded” status with new delivery expectations. For more clarity, contact USPS or use Informed Delivery tools.
Oh, it’s forwarded? Congrats—your package is now on a mystery tour. Tracking might update… or it might just ghost you until it magically reappears at your new place (or not).
