Tracking

Fail.

More Tracking

Yea but at least the delivery driver won't piss on your lawn like UPS.

 

[compman25]

Maybe they thought you wrote Kennewick WA?

 

[Lamont Burns]

TN to WA to ME. Hope it wasn't too important.

I sent an international package to China 3 weeks ago. No sign of it.

I will take an on time package with piss on my lawn over a late package any time.

Probably got misdirected. Maybe the zip-code was poorly written or it was just entered wrong when it was put into the system at the post office.

Who says it's going to be late? Priority is 3-5 days.

It's on the way

 

[Suspicious-Teach8788]

Is Kent closer to Maine than it was? I'm not interested in google mapping it. /sigh.

You can expect failure if you put your trust in USPS "tracking". I've never had any success with it. As it was explained to me ... USPS "tracking" is not tracking, it is more like delivery confirmation. I have received many, many packages that never ever showed up in their "tracking" system.

Good thing its free! NOT...

Gotta love when a private yet supposed "government" agency is allowed to get away with fraud.

They don't advertise it as tracking, they don't even call it tracking. How is it fraud again?

The government gives you plenty of legitimate reasons to hate them, there's no need to make stuff up.
