delivery confirmation is supposed to confirm when the package is delivered, QED, full stop, game over. All other intermediate information is a bonus and is generated primarily for internal USPS consumption, but some find it useful to stare at the partial tracking info in order to plan their lives.

But never use it for tracking. Heck, even the supposedly real tracking numbers for international are unreliable because the receiving country doesn't provide tracking feedback to USPS.

Btw, if this is high enough on the priority list to actually bug you, I want your priority list. 'cuz it's way below #10,000 on mine.

If it is urgent then use an overnight delivery service. If 2-3 day delivery at a great price is acceptable then USPS does an excellent job.

No positive options for your poll, eh? I can't recall ever having any real problems with USPS. I see people complain about them a a lot, but all things considered, I'm quite pleased with their service.

i have a box scanned at a sort facility here in SD, then it disappeared off the face of the earth, still says delivery date as the 4th as in the beginning of this month I've become quite the expert on the Postal Service and their operations.

There's no poll option for "Robulous is misleading/incompetent/frustrating"?

Well I will say the fine folks at the post office where Rob and I live seem to be some of the most ignorant and rude people I have ever met.

Could be, but they have nothing to do with the delivery confirmation system.

P.S....Rob knows I was yanking his chain, I am sure.
