I am an enormous fan of the USPS’ “Knowledgeable Supply” choice. Once you enroll, the USPS will ship you every day emails that present all mail and packages you are set to obtain that day. (The mail scans arrive in grayscale, address-side solely.) When you prefer to be stunned each time you open your mailbox, it isn’t the service for you. However for the remainder of us, it is a useful solution to regulate the day’s incoming mail.
Now, the USPS is increasing the function, engaged on a devoted Knowledgeable Supply app. The app will ship you push notifications every time you’ve gotten new mail and packages on the way in which, and can allow you to share the standing of packages with different individuals. When you despatched a good friend a package deal, for instance, you may cross alongside the monitoring info from throughout the app.
It appears to be an identical expertise as the normal emailed Knowledgeable Supply, solely introduced in an app UI. (Although the push notifications are a pleasant contact, particularly since as a rule, my every day Knowledgeable Supply emails get misplaced in my Gmail inbox.)
The factor is, you will not discover this Knowledgeable Supply app in your iPhone or Android’s app shops, because the USPS remains to be engaged on it. However in case you’re intrigued by the app, there’s a solution to check it out early—assuming the beta is not full by the point you join.
