摘要

A method for retrieving mail tracking details of a mail piece sent to a recipient using a stored image of the mail piece. A mail piece is provided with a unique mail piece tracking identifier and the identifier is stored in a database. An image of the mail piece is then acquired and also stored in the database in association with the unique mail piece tracking identifier. Mail piece tracking details for the mail piece are then acquired as the mail piece is delivered to a recipient, which tracking details are stored in the database in association with the mail piece tracking identifier and stored image. A user seeking the particular tracking details is then presented with at least one stored image of a mail piece, and when an image is selected by a user, the user is presented with the mail tracking details that were stored in association with the selected mail piece image.
