While I dont trust the USPS, I have to give out major Kudos to both Fed-Ex and UPS. Have so far never missed a package and their tracking system BLOWS away the post office. UNless you pay extra the only time they update tracking at the post office is AFTER you have recieved the package...lol UPS and Fed-Ex - You guys rock, Merry Christmas
