usps tracking problems
ok so i know its always been quite a bit off but its to the point now where people think im scamming them because the order doesnt even show up on tracking until it is delivered, any 1 else noticed its getting pretty bad or is it just my postal office?

You're doing it wrong. Ship USPS Priority. You can ship most small R/C stuff (ESC's, shocks, etc) in the small box for $5.00 anywhere in the US with full time tracking just like UPS and it arrives in 2-3 days max. I don't use UPS anymore. The last 2 things I shipped UPS were $11 each for shipping and they weighed next to nothing. I've never had an issue and the tracking info shows pickups at processing centers and tells you when it's on the truck for delivery. I don't know why people still use overpriced UPS.

I've never had my tracking not show up. Are you paying the extra $0.70 to get the Delivery Confirmation? That is your tracking. BTW, if you print out your postage online from their web site, you get the tracking service included for free. It's a no-brainer.

USPS tracking number is bogus. I had an item lost and after investigating that tracking number I was told it's a generic number assigned to a pallet that could have 1 or 30 different items on it. Postal priority seems to be better than regular shipping though. Also....the post office falls back on a rule that an item isn't lost until it reaches the 30 day mark WTH????? Good thing the company I ordered from resent my item using a different method of shipping at they put in a claim for the lost item.

I have to 100% disagree what that. It took USPS 7 days to give me a package that was in the same city
total time to my front door was 11 days from CA 7 of those the package just sat here in AZ and USPS had no clue about it and the tracking number didn't work.
