Semantics. Just because they might call it "USPS Tracking" now, the tracking updates aren't guaranteed. I've sent out plenty of packages since the change that never received acceptance scans, or any other scans, until they arrived at their destination PO or the main sort PO before distribution to the final PO. It's really no different than it has been for the last few years - it's a D/C number, that might get an update along the way, when it works. If you want guaranteed accurate tracking, like Bob said, you'll have to pay a private carrier.

It's not that different from the changing of "Parcel Post" to "Standard Post". Or when "Book Rate" became "Media Mail". Other than the name change and price hike it's really all the same.
