Delay in USPS Standard Post

[edjs]

Someone on one of these threads suggested using the option to have all tracking info changes e-mailed. When I do that, packages that were stuck seem to become unstuck. It really seems to work well.

You can also get tracking info changes texted to your phone. I use it often to alert me when things are delivered to my UPS Store mailbox. The post office has come a long way on scanning but intermediate scanning is not one of their strong suits. At UPS (and FedEx) we do a better job linking scans to a bag or container which is then linked to a trailer or larger container and then to a plane. A lot easier to just push a button on a whole plane or whole container than it is to individually scan hundreds or thousands of individual packages inside of a container. They will get there sometime. Adding 'free' tracking to all packages now....a new development as of the last month or so.....will go a long way towards having the USPS keep up with items. I wouldn't worry too much but I would assume that Standard from coast to coast shouldn't be much more than 6-7 days. Our ground service coast to coast is typically 5 days. Good luck..............

Ed--LOL, I signed up for tracking after your post and the package showed up at the Pasadena PO this morning. Coincidence, who knows?
