The whole tracking thing is just another overrated way to get your cash. In fact I don’t even use the U.S.P.S. unless it is a totally unimportant letter. Now two little stories of my own, not as wild as Geo’s story but they both involve the whole tracking thingy.

First one: July this year one of my younger daughters electronic toys went nuts. It was still under warranty so I got my RMA and sent it certified and insured. To this day I can still go to the U.S.P.S. website and it will say the package is sitting at the local airport. I never received a delivery conformation but did get the replacement back in late August. If I wanted to be a real *$$ I could go and claim the amount it was insured for; but I’m not, so I won’t.

Second one: I sent a letter registered, international, priority express to a family member in Jamaica. Luckily it had nothing more important than a little paperwork (none of our personal info, just hers) and a check to help her out (it’s been canceled). I did all of this in August and to this day there is no sign of the letter. Once again the U.S.P.S. website says the item is sitting at the local airport waiting to depart.

So that is why I don’t trust the U.S.P.S. anymore. And also as Geo said in his post; getting the mail of others is standard operating procedure.

this is why I love New Zealand
we don't even have to put a zip code and it will always get to the correct address.
