gentle on parcels.
I'd rather strongly suggest you not us the USPS period. In the last 6
months or so they've flat out lost 4 items either destined to or
shipped by me, and one item apparently (according to the tracking web
site) sat in a sorting facility in Utah for nearly a month before
magically showing up. Glad it wasn't perishable.
I?ve had failures with *all* of the major shippers.
UPS tracking is a *joke*. It tells you not where the package is but where
it?s supposed to be. I was tracking an IBM 3278 terminal and it wasn?t
until the tracking said it was ?on the truck for delivery? that they realized
there was a problem. There was not one ?physical? scan of the package
and they had no idea where it was.
