The USPS tracking system is a fiasco. I have been told the equipment is outdated when compared to FedEx and UPS. The money should have been spent on something worthwhile.

ZSMICHAEL is being way too kind to the USPS tracking system. I have seen the rare delivery screwup with USPS, but I’ve probably seen 25 to 30 tracking screwups for every one delivery screwup. Heck, I’ve had multiple packages that were delivered clear across the country before USPS tracking ever showed them received.

As frustrating as the abysmal tracking is, the USPS does a pretty darned good job getting stuff delivered, generally a LOT cheaper than UPS or FedEx.

I once ordered a short trigger for a 225 from a vendor on here. It never came, called them, they said it had shipped. They finally sent another one, no charge. 7 months later, the first one showed up, package torn all to hell, but intact. Told the vendor, they said just keep it.

Just an update. All good. Package was delivered Tuesday.

Did it arrive?

Indeed it did. Even on the early side of their average delivery window

I think we all have the same mailman; it does not seem probable that this could be without systemic mismanagement at all levels.
