Experience with USPS Parcel Tracking?

[ezdays]

The package finally got here with today's mail, 3 weeks after it was shipped.

What happen? I bought freight cars off e-Bay that was located on the left coast and had then in 5 days by priority mail.

Sounds like you used economy shipping and even at that 7-10 days is the norm.

Just routine for the USPS I'm guessing. Isn't this the organization that sometimes delivers mail 30, 40 or even 50 years late, with no explanation of where it's been all that time? :? Even with tracking, it's likely that the system screwed things up and I'm sure that even UPS or FedEx looses track of a package every now and then. The big thing here is that adding a few dollars for more reliable shipping makes for a happy, and repeat, customer.
