USPS Tracking Failure

[mnich330]

I will not buy again from sellers shipping USPS. I bought a guitar on the 11th. USPS tracking said expect delivery on Wed 16th by 8pm. Never showed up with no tracking alerts that I was subscribed to. The next day, the 17th, I get a notification that the guitar had arrived at a regional center an hour away. On the 18th I get notified it is on its way to the "next destination" which is 10 miles from my home. A day later I get a notification that it is still on its way. USPS Tracking is close to being fraudulent.

I would sit down and enjoy a cool beverage.

For using a service as lame as the USPS.

USPS has been experiencing delays in shipping lately. I assume it is weather related. And delivery changes aren’t exclusive to USPS. I’ve had it happen with UPS and Fedex lately too. Try not to lose your cool over it. 

If you have to have an item by a certain date in the future, you’ll have to spring for the expensive guaranteed delivery shipping.

How is this a "USPS Tracking Failure" or fraudulent when you're actually seeing your package being tracked each and every day, @mnich330?

If you limit yourself to sellers who don't use USPS, you're pretty much going to cut out buying anything small/light or paying 3-4 times more for shipping

Because for 2 straight days it is on its way to my destination an hour away. Do you guys work for USPS, or just have poor reading comprehension?

For once I actually agree, OP needs to have a cool beverage and be patient.   Or call the Post Office and give them a piece of their mind and see if that helps.
