Track your package

• Tracks incoming purchase order and UT Market deliveries (via Campus Distribution Services) by P.O. Number or shipping vendor tracking number. 
• Tracks Document Solutions jobs out for delivery on campus.

How to track your package

Departmental customers can track packages by entering one of the following on the Campus Tracking System site: 

• USPS tracking number,
• UT Market P.O. number,
• shipping vendor tracking code, or
• Document Solutions job number.

The search box will scan for records across both the Mail Services and Campus Distribution Services.

While most customers do not need it, advanced search options allow customers to search by name or department as well to get a status update for their packages.

Each package should have the recipient’s name, department name, Campus Mail Code and building address. Please call UT Mail Services – 512-471-3670 – with any additional information for package deliveries.

Re-Sorted: The package was returned to UT Mail Services after the initial delivery. It was re-sorted to another department and has been staged for delivery.

Will I have to sign for my packages?

Most of the time you will not be asked to sign for USPS packages. UT Mail Services delivers packages to one central point in each building. Each of those locations will have a Delivery Barcode. Every time a UT Mail Services employee delivers packages to that location in your building, he/she will scan the Location Barcode. For example: The DELIVERED scan you see online at USPS.com will provide the details related to date and time that UT Mail Services delivered your package to the mailbox in your building.
