Can I use MyUSPS to track the box? NO. And this probably won't ever change.

The above is the MOST common question on this board, I thought it might be useful to have an answer up near the top (at least for a bit).

MyUSPS has two different types of automatically enabled tracking.
Neither will work, and I suspect the box was designed very carefully with this in mind.
The ‘box’ is actually a Large Flat Envelope.

  1. Package tracking: automatic, can be used for boxes. Large Flat Envelope != Box.

  2. letter tracking (aka: the way that is always discussed when people get desperate). Letter tracking doesn’t need to be enabled by the sender, and it shows you an image of each letter on the way to your house, HOWEVER, by making use of the MyUSPS website, you can quickly find info that would reveal that the USC white box is too large to qualify as a letter (large flat envelope thing again) Thus, it will not show up under this option.

In short: You will not be recieving early news of your notification through either method. Not this year, not in future years. USC would probably start their own postal service before they’d allow you to escape the torture of waiting. This was done on purpose. The ‘box’ aka the large flat envelope, was chosen likely because it is the only method that doesn’t have automatic tracking. Posting this question fifty thousand times won’t change that.
