Thread: USPS Tracking is Torturing Me....

I'm really not a fan of UPS - they always deliver my packages to my neighbor. UPS also has, for me, a much higher chance of damaging my packages. Also, the order was through SRD and over $100, so USPS Priority was free.

I know USPS tracking is not the best, and I'm fine with that. I just wish they wouldn't like to me - I know my Th?ti was not out for delivery today. I'd rather hear it's still in Ohio due to lacking updates than have USPS taunt me with false promises.

I agree it's not cool when someone damages your package I mean don't they know there sensitive.

Wow I guess it's time to crawl out from under the rock and upgrade my phone.
I have the Razor V3I it's about 5-6 years old.

I'll take service over the ability to track. Yes, the USPS' system is wonky, but for a few bucks I can get something from FL to ID in like 3 days, Saturday included.

UPS charges more for ground, charges even more for Saturday delivery, and still takes longer. Oh yeah, it's also great to watch their robust tracking system as my package goes to JAX (NE of me) then to ORL (south of me) and then finally arrives.

Fun bit about UPS for me as a Dane is that "Ups" is how we would spell "Whoops".

Not exactly the best name for a package delivery service =)

Are you aware that USPS package delivery system is subsidized with money from the First Class Mail? That's how they can set any price they want.
Typical government operation.

Why is that a problem? Both are services of the USPS; I buy hones with money I make from scales-- is this some sort of business fraud? "First Class", "Priority" and "Parcel Post" are all different names for the same service... just different branches.

What ??????????

UPS tracking eh?



The pickup scan update wasn't available for at least 10 hours after it had occurred according to the stamp.

The delivery is scheduled for tomorrow, but there is still no scans during the transit. They'll probably scan it once or twice in the last 12 hours before the delivery attempt.

One thing I love about UPS has nothing to do with them. It's that at work they deliver to different people than USPS delivers to and those people sign if necessary and then bring it to my desk. For USPS I have to check if anything has arrived in my mailbox.
