The USPO is ever changing..I have a good Friend who is a Post Master..Recently they have realized the shortcomings of delivery confirmation and have mandated that if a pkg goes thru your hands you should scan it. This makes the delivery confirmation a little handyier..You MAY get to track it here and there. It cannot be tracked unless it IS scanned. Before the recent change it was only scanned apon delivery. Now it is scanned apon pickup too..might be scanned elsewhere giving you a chance to see it on it's way.
I use the USPO almost exclusively for several reasons..in 12 years they have NEVER lost one of my packages. They have been misplaced but they always show up sooner or later and delivery confirmation HAS helped me find several. And I ship a LOT of packages.
Secondly I believe we need to support the USPO ..we sure as heck don't want them to disappear. They do a great job in my opinion and there are Post Offices in almost all small towns. Think about it..how would you like your local PO to shut down? Support them..they are good and need it. To hell with fed ex ...and NEVER put GUN anything on a pkg. Thieves see that as STEAL ME!
Same with insurance too..just a red flag to draw attention.
Registered mail has a tracking number, and is accounted for at every weigh-point. Each time it changes hands it is signed over to, and signed for, by every employee who assumes responsibility for it.
You want something to get there? Registered mail is the absolute best. Only trouble with it I have seen..it's slower because it has to be signed for and locked up.
