MIne still works. Recently though I get a message that my mail has been delivered. I can't remember how I got it, but I'm glad I did. Very handy to know when your mail has arrived during the day.

@songbird

That's a new feature of Informed Delivery.

I haven't had any problems or changes recently. I've had the service for over a year or so. I hope you get the issue resolved very soon.

Please remember...it says mail coming soon and does not necessarily mean that day. I give it 2 more days before I report anything missing.

@CherryHugs. I still get them like clockwork, for what they're worth. They're very inaccurate. I often get no notice of package delivery and go check in a day or two and find one or more in my unlocked, rural-style mailbox.

I signed up because I was having trouble getting my magazines and I wanted to know when I'd be getting them. Guess what, they don't scan magazines. They do though, scan all the junk mail. Who cares about that. Anyway, I don't find it to be the most reliable. Anyhow, I still am getting my emails everyday, so far.

As a back up to Informed Delivery, once I get the USPS tracking number, I sign up for text notifications about the status. In my experience, they are more thorough (you get them every step) and a little more timely than Informed Delivery. I also use a similar service with UPS that I pay $20/annually for. Why? I've lost so much stuff to porch pirates that it isn't funny. Things are better now since the entrance to my apartment building is more secure, but I don't take any chances.

I wish I'd get that. Sometimes he's here at 10:00 other days it's 6 pm. That would save multiple trips down the street to the box.

@CherryHugs - I've just been discussing this with a friend today. He tried signing up yesterday, but can't get into his account at all, so he may try signing up again.

I signed up two years ago. For a while, I got daily emails with scanned images of my mail.

Then for no reason at all, they stopped. Nothing I did could get them to restart, even sending in feedback. They just told me to try the things I'd already done.

So I log in every day. I do get notifications for any packages (a separate preference setting under your account). However, right now I'm waiting for a package that has so far taken 5 days to get from the sorting office 45 minutes away, to my local post office. (It took less than 2 days to get across several states.)

It should've been delivered yesterday but at 9:40 P.M., I got an email saying "Alert! Delivery Exception." Nothing more since and I've been checking all day.

It's chocolates I ordered online. Can't wait to see what condition they're in, if they ever arrive. USPS lately has gotten pretty bad, where I am. Used to be good.

I haven't heard anything about them revamping the system.

@Meowingkitty

Have you tried signing in to your account? If I remember correctly, I had to agree to it before they started the email delivery notifications. I couldn't get in with my password for some reason, so I had to change it then. I've gotten the delivered messages every day that I get mail since then. They even have feedback as to whether the notification came on time, early or late. I love it since my mailbox is a quarter mile from my house and my mail people aren't as dependable as our longtime carrier used to be.
