Does USPS offer tracking on all packages?
In a short answer: yes. All USPS services come with free tracking included, and each package and envelope sent with USPS has a unique tracking number printed on the shipping label.
Do you have to pay extra for USPS tracking?
There is no additional cost for the tracking mechanism on products that automatically include USPS Tracking. Basically, you pay for that product’s postage, and tracking is included, unless you are shipping USPS Marketing Mail® parcels. Adding USPS Tracking to that commercial mailing service requires paying a fee.

Can I add tracking to first class mail?
USPS does offer tracking on First Class mail, but only on their small parcels, up to 13 ounces. Letters and flat envelopes do not come with tracking and cannot be tracked (unless the shipping is upgraded, for a fee, to Priority or Priority Express).
