Ordered an item for my daughter's birthday and here's its adventures on the way to my waiting hands:

* Missent, January 18, 2011, 9:20 am - I called the USPS customer service 1/20 and by the sound of her voice the girl was getting a little annoyed with me when I was asking why it hadn't shown up as being enroute since it should be scanned as it progresses from station to station. I was trying to make sure it didn't just get tossed on the back burner basically.

Suffice it to say, this isn't the first time I've had items get lost or mis-delivered with the USPS. I get more consistently good service with FedEx and UPS.

wow dude, thats crazy. USPS has given me some packages that look liked they have been tossed around but Fedex has been right on every time.

And, it is particularly odd considering the Popular Mechanics just did an article on which carrier is the best and they said it was USPS. Most shipping errors for USPS are the result of an improper zip code.

i like usps. they work on the weekends.
