I downloaded the USPS app yesterday and signed up for their Informed Delivery service. It is free, and once you sign up, USPS will send you images of your letter-sized mail, and allow you to manage your incoming packages. Even though I mostly get junk mail, the service is pretty cool. For example, now I know that Citibank sent me some junk today:

I think if you are waiting for an urgent piece of mail and delivery is late in the day, at least you know in advance if it is arriving today. Since USPS will be sending me emails with images daily, I will need to make sure to delete them once in awhile, or I will run out of email storage space online again.
