USPS notifications

[Gary W. Graley]

Hi folks, probably a lot of you already do this, but recently I found it handy when I am using the USPS tracking notification feature to use a name that I will recognize right away, usually the name of the knife I shipped, and then my email so when I get notifications in my email, it tells me the name I chose to use, it doesn't have to be your name, I had always just used my name but on those times when I have a couple things going out or coming in, they all tend to look the same until you go and check the tracking history. So for example I sent this French folder out today and used Chambriard as the name and now when I get tracking updates I know just what it is for right away

That's a neat trick Gary

I can't handle the constant emails, I use the app and name everything so it's easy to keep track.

Nice Chip, if I had a lot of them I'd try that one out also ! maybe when I retire and kick in my leather folder sheath work I'll need to do that.

I do that as well. I'm not sure this is still the case as I haven't tried in a while, but it doesn't like numbers in the name.

I also have an account and use the app. It will let you know about shipments you didn't know you had coming to your address. Quite handy and free.

Yup, the "Informed Delivery" function is pretty handy
