Experience with USPS Parcel Tracking?

[ngauger]

USPS tracking can be a joke just like Pay Pals "your purchase has shipped"..Yeah,right I bought and paid for a locomotive around 10 AM on a Sunday and by 2 pm my order has "shipped"..The seller stated that he only ships Monday,Wednesday and Friday..

I HATE that notification.....

This initial "marked as shipped" or "Shipped" notification is created when the shipper prints out the "shipping label" from paypal or e-bay. So they may print it Sunday - and not ship until Wednesday Very Frustrating.

I always check with the tracking number and most times the information is accurate within a few hours. But that may just be around here. UPS is way more accurate then the USPS...
