The USPS's tracking service allows users to keep track on the progress of a shipment using their internal system. This type of tracking is mostly used for shipments within the United States and provides information such as the shipping date, the anticipated delivery date, and the current status of the shipment (e.g. 'in transit', 'out for delivery' or 'delivered').
The term "electronic tracking," on the other hand, refers to a type of tracking that uses technological devices, such as a GPS device or an RFID chip. This kind of tracking is used in many fields, including logistics and commercial transportation, and it allows for real-time monitoring of the shipment's whereabouts.
In general, electronic tracking is more accurate and detailed than Postal tracking, but it is also more expensive to establish and necessitates the use of specialized technological devices. On the other hand, Postal tracking is more affordable and accessible, however it may not be as accurate or detailed.
