Mike,
I don't check tracking as usually I get various status sent to my emails. I do have the USPS "Informed Delivery" and generally that is fairly accurate. On the occasion that a package is slated to be delivered that day and isn't, it almost always shows up the next day (so I don't know if the tracking status you see is what I would see as well). I've had 1 case where it came in 3 days later, but there were extenuating circumstances there. In some cases, and I think it's mostly (but not always) related to the size of package, it gets delivered outside of our normal route delivery (ie by someone who is only delivery packages), so that may be a factor as well.
All that said, we are fortunate to have very responsible postal service here. I get more concerned with packages I send out.
