Re: USPS, make sure you sign up for Informed Delivery, which sends you a daily email with images of the mail you are due to receive that day, as well as tracking numbers and/or senders of any packages due for delivery that day and in the near future. The package delivery can be off by +1 day or so on occasion, but it allows you to file a missing mail claim easily. I've actually had a USPS carrier come to my house specifically to deliver a critical missing package (meds) after I reported it. You may not always get this same service, but it always helps to do what you can to track your own mail delivery. Just my $0.02.
Your shipping wrecks. USPS,FED-EX and UPS
Well the e-bay USPS shipping has fallen apart, and the e-bay Fed-Ex is not much better......A 4000.00 CD player missing for 20 days by USPS, A box of 50 fuses , says delivered , but nobody knows where ???..........2 cartridges and a headshell...delivered today, but nobody knows where ??........You put a tracking number in Fed-Ex all it says is late delivery, and never tells where it is.....So be careful with Christmas Presents..........The only way I can track USPS is go to the Post Office ans have them track it, if I track it all it says is late arrival......
