USPS Late, Wants Money For Tracking
Does anyone else think the Post Office has hit a new LOW. My package is Late and they want $2.20 to tell me where it is. Or I can get 10 years of tracking for $9.99.
Or I can stop using the post office. That's the only real option.
You can't complain, their email doesn't work.

Also, you could have the recipient access myUSPS app. Once you sign up it actually will alert you to all packages and mail that is currently enroute to your address and when to expect it.
Wasn’t aware of wage difference for FedEx/UPS but to be honest both of them are crap in my area. UPS now doesn’t even deliver most packages to rural areas around here, they just drop at the local post office and have usps deliver rest of the way. FedEx I still see regularly but anything they drop has literally been dropped multiple times by appearance of package where USPS usually comes in fully intact but even that is slipping as of late due to Covid pressures.

That sounds similar to an issue I had several months ago. I ordered a large irregular shaped (4’ tube) product from Rockler and it shipped from my closest store about an hour away. When they took the package on their normal run to the PO it got bulk checked in so the tracking number was in their system. After a week of not getting it and no movement on the number other than “created” I contacted Rockler. They did some digging with USPS and told me that what sometimes happens is the guys who do the check in at usps desk get lazy and don’t want to deal with a package so they leave it for the next shift. What apparently happened (and is not uncommon) was my package kept getting skipped over and over again till Rockler inquired, than miraculously it showed up a day later.
