Yeah, that tracking option doesn't seem to be very helpful. If a package takes 2-3 days to be delivered and they only update it every 2 or 3 days, not very helpful. I really thought that tracking was nothing but delivery confirmation since it never gives me any info until it's actually delivered. I'm not paying for their tracking again.

Me too. I had something shipped to my brother and sil in NV and it showed 4 different cities that it went through before it got to their house. It was actually really fun to track and see where it was going. Usually it didn't take too long to update unless it showed that it was received in a city late at night, then it took longer sometimes to see that it left that city. I've never had a prob with it before though...it usually updates in no more than 2 days.

I see that kind of tracking (multiple cities) w/ UPS but not USPS...I know they secretly just have it out for me...

And in fact, I *just* got this email from Knitty Noddy, who is in Oregon and I'm in Chicago:

I just checked the Track&Confirm number at USPS for your Lady G, and the USPS web site does not give any useful information :-(

I've never paid money for tracking and it always works, just not quickly. I have had sites that gave me the wrong number or it was like KP and it was some weird version.

you can ship usps through amazon? i didn't even know they had that option. thanks. i generally prefer usps to ups because the post office people can get into my mailbox whereas the ups people have to leave it on the lobby table, from which stuff has been stolen.
