Parcel Tracking.

All the time! The USPS is a failure. Always late and tracking is never correct.
I mailed a SEB MINI X6 to Washington State. It was supposed to have delivered 3 days later.
No guarantee and it was shipped 2000 miles out of route once updated. Took 3 weeks to get it there.
I am sure if I would have posted a claim, which it was insured for $1500.00. They would have denied and told me it wasn't properly packaged. This is the standard way that these companies get out of claims.
It's a flip of the coin anymore.
 
Good grief, no telling where my pkg is. This is the first time I have ever had a problem with Priority Mail. But to not be scanned for over two weeks it must have fallen off a conveyor belt.
 
I've had it happen a few times. It seems like stuff from Florida always goes missing for a while. But eventually it does show up

Just wait....it will show up in the next 2 weeks. LOL. sorry but it is just pathetic anymore.
 
Ive currently got 3 priority shipments active. Once was supposed to have delivered to me today in Ohio and it is still showing AZ. 2 are outbound hdg to AZ and scheduled for Monday but have been sitting in Ohio for over 24 hours.
 
Adverse weather can affect postage delivery schedules. My USPS experiences have been mostly positive but not 100 % perfect but neither has Fed X or UPS.
 
One of the guys sent me some bullets to Erie Pa. It made it
to the Pittsburgh hub. But never made it to the trip 115 miles
north. It then went back to original hub, then to a hub in Philly,
then back to Pittsburgh ?? Should have been rewarded with
frequent rider miles over that one......LOL That clown that Trump
appointed as a post master had the Erie hub closed down after
an existence longer twice as long as most of us are old. If I need
to send a letter across the street, It's sent to Pittsburgh for
processing, then back up to Erie for delivery.......Just plain stupid.
 
Overall, I’ve had good delivery with USPS, UPS and FEDX . One time a longbow sent USPS was delayed cause the shipper put the correct zip but the wrong city.
I tracked a Fedx package that flew over my house four times, it did eventually get delivered.
 
Over the last three years, I’ve shipped over 200 boxes by regular USPS ground. Not priority, not flat rate. One was delayed by about a month during Covid. The rest all arrived in good shape, mostly early. None have been lost, or damaged. Shipping a similar package UPS costs more, and generally takes longer.
 
USPS - Garand left at Conair (yep the Hair Dryer company ) loading dock around 7am.
FedEx - 1911 shipping hard case Alabama to Connecticut (assuming to visit it's birthplace) and finally to Arizona.
UPS - Garand muzzle sticking out of reinforced cardboard overwrap of hard side Plano case.
International air carrier - couldn't break the American Tourister luggage so they left it on the tarmac in at O'Hare in the thunderstorm and dyed all the clothing inside baby blue from the dye leaching onto the clothes closet to the perimeter of the suitcase. Boy was my Mother pissed off at them...

I had a package go from 100 miles West of me to a town 100 miles East of me. Then go 800 miles SW, then back to the same town 100 miles West of me. Then to me.

I have had packages scanned in and then nothing till delivered.

Edit. Oh I had package from Florida go to Billings (the afore mentioned town 100 miles West of me). Then back to Florida to the shipper, then back to me.. Why is shipping so expensive? lol
