USPS tracking is the worst. I have been missing packages that they considered "delivered". They consider "mission accomplished even when delivered to the wrong house. My neighbor dropped it off over the weekend. I had one claim thru USPS that I eventually received payment for but it took a LONG time to get.

My friend is a driver for UPS and there is LOTS of parcels stolen and a few arrests were made from people following the UPS truck and picking up after drop off.

I hope you get your stuff or reimbursed.

Better get / use some camo boxes to better blend in on the porch.
I would still file a claim but don't wait by the box for a refund check as a matter of principal.

Unfortunately a lot of delivery people really have a bad attitude when handling or delivering things. Some still care and do a great job but its a crap shoot.

I will take that chance in a millisecond.

My local USPS is run by people that make drunk monkeys look like skilled workers. I would say there are two full time people that do a good job offset by about everyone else there. The postmaster is incompetent and that is a true and accurate label.

UPS & Fedex are not perfect but WAY better overall than the USPS. The only thing that the USPS service has in its favor is the flat rate shipping boxes and free supplies.

I often go get the free USPS boxes then turn them inside out and ship Fedex.

Too bad you cant stuff an eastern diamondback rattlesnake in the box, minus rattle.
