My husband would know what all I was throwing out of his. LOL

@SharkE - I did sign up for a My UPS account a year or so ago so I could indicate where I wanted packages delivered.  I get emails for anything sent via UPS.  One saying it is scheduled, one saying it is on the truck and one saying it is delivered.  Since the Q seems to be very random in their delivery method, this might help you for items coming by UPS.   Thanks for the unsubscribe link for the informed delivery - still not sure how I signed up for it...

I received an email about this from USPS this morning. Doubt I will sign up. I know all that's coming in the mail for me is junk besides my packages. LOL!!! I receive all my billing electronically. 

Our mailman does get off a house as he goes down the street sometimes. If he leaves our mail next door we can no longer take it out of their box because they put up a locking mailbox. He told us if he gets any of our mail he will throw it in the trash.

Suppose to tell you what mail you will be receiving before you get your mail.

I opted for it, then, wondered if it was for real.

I signed up for this a few months ago, and I love it!  There's some misinformation in some of the posts here, so I recommend that everyone research on their own.

It doesn't show packages but it does show letters, bills, etc.  I get an email every day that lets me know what's in my mail.  It shows a scan of the front of each mailpiece.  You can go on the website to view your mail each day if you'd rather not receive emails.    

I think this is really good for people who travel, and need to know if a check or something else of importance has arrived back home.  I'm also looking forward to not having to go outside in bad winter weather or pouring rain to check my mail.  Now I know every day exactly what's there.

It does show letters, cards, invitations, and other similar correspondence.  It just doesn't show packages.

I guess I don't really need this service because I'm always home when my mail is delivered and I love my mailman. He always brings my mail right to my door rather than leaving it in my mailbox. I'm spoiled! Besides packages, 99% of my mail is junk. All of my official business is done online so I never get bills or letters. I get that in my email account which I prefer.

@SharkE  Yes. It is legitimate. I gave been getting this for several months. I like knowing what should be in my box.....if it is not  there, than I can investigate further. It is like a heads up.  I read that they plan in the future to also show packages and such.

I would only be interested in tracking packages, so a nope for me. Most of my packages are trackable via the sender anyway. 

One random thing it could be useful for that I can think of is if a bank or CC company was mailing you a new CC, or if you knew a check was being mailed to you. But if they don't show you all of what's coming (letter-sized) it wouldn't be good for that either.
