Overview

TCGTracking provides real-time USPS tracking for all your shipments at no cost. Once your envelope is scanned by USPS, tracking updates flow into your dashboard automatically so you can monitor every package without lifting a finger.

Tracking is completely free for all TCGTracking users. No EasyPost connection or paid plan is required.

How it works

TCGTracking uses USPS Informed Visibility to provide GPS-accurate scan events as your package moves through the postal network.

Envelope dropped off

Your envelope enters the USPS network. Tracking begins once a postal worker scans the Intelligent Mail Barcode.

In transit

Your envelope moves through USPS sorting facilities. Each scan is recorded and sent to TCGTracking in real time.

Out for delivery

Your envelope is loaded onto a delivery vehicle. TCGTracking predicts the delivery date based on current location.

Delivered

Your envelope has been delivered. The order is automatically marked as complete in your TCGTracking dashboard.

Tracking only begins once USPS scans your barcode. Dropping your envelope in a blue collection box may delay the first scan compared to handing it directly to a postal worker.

Network map

The TCGTracking Network Map gives you a live bird's-eye view of where all your packages currently are in the USPS network.

  1. Log into your TCGTracking dashboard
  2. Click Network Map in the navigation
  3. You will see all your active shipments plotted on a live map
  4. Click any marker to see the order details for that shipment
The Network Map is especially useful during busy periods like set releases when you have dozens of packages in transit at once.

Tracking statuses

Here is what each tracking status means in your TCGTracking dashboard:
