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.

Actually since they started "including it" its now "USPS tracking"

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.

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.
