Using the US Postal Service --

[Postal]

(Vic_E55_2001 @ Jul. 25 2007,18:48) +1 on that, tracking data is useless.

I ship a lot with USPS with 99% success.
Click -n- ship is working great.

I`d use UPS or Fedex if shipping something valuable or breakable,  USPS handling packages with bulldozer, I think.

I wouldn't say "useless." It is uploaded nightly, so there is a delay.

Come on, "bulldozer?" We don't use anything smaller than a tank.

Could you send someone out the Venice, Ca post office? It's broken. They've lost 4 out of the last 5 packages sent to me, and told my wife "We know it's bad, but there's not much we can do." This wasn't true in other places I've lived, but this little section of Los Angeles has a postal service bordering on third world quality.

I've basically given up, and simply tell vendors that it's UPS, FedEx or no sale.

Don't mean to disparage the USPS as a whole, but depending on where you live, YMMV.
