The USPS tracking system is a joke. If the item is sent priority mail it always comes in 3 days max. Otherwise for normal ground shipping go UPS. "What can brown do for you?" That and my buddy's father works at UPS and he told me if he ever sees me get a package FedEX or USPS he'll personally put himself in a UPS box, shit it to my house, pop out and shoot my ass, then say thanks for using UPS.

The shipper specifies if they will allow the package to be left in the front/back/lobby/neighbor/etc. Tell the company you're buying from to require an adult sig or your sig for delivery. If it's a day late, get your money back. You are allowed to a refund if we can not give you the correct service.

i work at a warehouse, receiving packages daily. It sucks how UPS just throws boxes around. Like from on the truck, they'll just throw computers down onto the floor. If the package wasn't meant for us, they'll just throw it far to the front of the truck (almost as big as a semi). Fedex is more careful with the packages, and DHL (airborne express) treats the packages delicately.

tracking system sucks...sometimes they say stuff arrived when they didn't, or to expect it in a few days more when it's already here =P

I like UPS tracking, because when it says out for delivery, I know I will get it that afternoon. And once I get the package, I go online and check, and it says delivered. Its like down to the second of when that package touches your hands, LOL.
