Ordered some framesliders from T-rex a couple of days ago, according to the tracking number the package is sitting in Dallas Texas since Monday Feb 08. Before i contact T-Rex i thought i should ask here if the USPS tracking system is useless  and i just should sit tight and wait.  :-\

There are no updates with USPS tracking....it's useless.

 perspective
    is even more amazing than yours."

UPS and Fed-Ex have great tracking.

You just need to ship it overseas and then back to you. Then you'll be able to track it all the way.
More expensive, but a lot of fun [cheeky]

I used to think that too until recently I could actually track the parts I bought for my gun.

It told me when it was billed, when it was picked up and when it hit my sort facility.

I was shocked.



But I still think it sucks.

UPS and FedEX have great systems.

USPS is the CompuServe of shipping.

Yeah. I got to track my UPS Next Day Air package to the depot 25 miles from my house where it sat waiting for me to come get it with nary an attempt to deliver it.

The USPS tracking page does kind of suck, but at least they make the attempt to get it to my house.

I love USPS for shipping, but the tracking system isn't so much tracking as delivery confirmation from what I can tell...

I feel the same way about DHL...they truly suck.

Both UPS and Fed-Ex work great for me.

The UPS driver is a riot...

Fed-Ex ground has a lot of turn over, but they know where I am.

I think UPS is the way to go when you have a choice.  I hate getting things sent to me USPS takes twice as long, shit gets more beat up and the tracking is non-existent.
Every bike I've ever owned.

With the exception of the tracking, I have the same argument, only USPS being better than UPS (by a long shot BTW)...
