USPS don’t want accountability. The USPS “POD” is a complete joke. Fedex can track an envelope from Osaka to Memphis to PNG and they can tell you exactly where it scanned in at each point. USPS personnel apparently couldn’t find their asses with both hands and a road map, much less find your “Priority” envelope.
I send a lot of letters and packages in my job. For what it’s worth, I have never had USPS lose a letter. I can’t say the same for DHL or FedEx. No experience with UPS.
FedEx is fast, and I like FedEx. But I dont count on it to deliver on time. You’re right: they can tell you right where it is, but if that is in Memphis and not your destination, that’s not all that helpful.
Of course they don’t - but that would be a start on fixing the USPS. With good tracking, the “mailman stealing mail and storing it at his home” becomes very very difficult to get away with.
