I haven’t been able to track anything for about a week or so. No matter if I follow a link or go to the USPS site and enter the number, all I get is a hung up page. It doesn’t even time out or give an error message. Nothing mentioned in the news that I saw. In Minnesota if it matters.

I’m in California and it seems to be working fine for me. I assume you’ve tried basics like trying from a different device, clearing cookies, rebooting…

I just checked, and it’s working for me. Montana if it matters.

I once had an error message from them, saying their tracking wasn’t working. I would say if you don’t get an error message, something is goofy.
