UPS SurePost is a shipping service offered by UPS that combines the speed and reliability of UPS with the economical pricing of the US Postal Service. When you use UPS SurePost, UPS transports your package to the destination city or town and then hands it off to the local postal service for final delivery to the recipient’s address.

Here are the steps to track your UPS SurePost package:

  1. Obtain your tracking number from the sender or from your shipping label.
  2. Go to the UPS website at www.ups.com.
  3. Click on the “Tracking” tab and enter your tracking number in the box provided.
  4. Click on “Track” to see the current status of your package.

Please note that UPS SurePost tracking information may not be as detailed as other UPS services, as the final delivery is handled by the USPS. Additionally, delivery times may be longer than other UPS services due to the additional step of handoff to the local postal service.
