What is "informed delivery"?

[12345jamesstamps]

This is a new one for me. What is "informed delivery"?

A buyer emailed me today...item mailed March 10th. Seems like a long time to hear anything about this.

But it was going to Marietta, Georgia....is that currently the new "limbo land"?

Here's the creepy part...there's no tracking on it. So how does the buyer know what's up?

And why did the buyer wait 12 days to tell me.

"envelope was scanned by informed delivery, Wednesday but never delivered by the post office. Notified post office that no delivery at this address was made."...what the email said.

I didn't use tracking for this piece of mail. Buyer is not upset or anything.

In some situations hackers get your "informed deliverey" info and use it to take credit cards or interesting packages - look it up online with usps - just sayin

google Palmetto USPS and you'll find the answer.  there was comical lateness but it seems to be resolved by now.
