[quote macbeergeek]I think the only kind of "tracking" that you get free with Priority Mail is Delivery Confirmation, which will just tell you that it got there.
Delivery Confirmation is as described, but it isn't free. It is a distinct service that costs close to $1. Sometimes it provides more than just the endpoint delivery information. It depends on whether or not it is scanned at additional places along the route. The only thing that is guaranteed is the delivery scan.
If you are concerned about the item being lost, you might want to pay for a little insurance. I know UPS offers insurance. I don't remember if the USPS provides that service.
