Why is Detailed Tracking Unavailable for Mailing Services?
We deliver your mailing job to our local post office in Wisconsin or California. This is the most we can track with our system. USPS then transports your mailers to the appropriate local post office(s) as needed for final delivery. Most USPS services do not offer detailed tracking beyond this.
DocuCopies.com cannot confirm or guarantee that the final delivery is completed by USPS, and cannot refund your order due to issues with USPS completing delivery, since this is out of our control. Please contact USPS directly for more information about 1st Class and EDDM limitations.
