Boards Archive] |
Welcome to the Vault Network
forum archive.
This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive.

I've never once had it give me any information before the package arrived.
Is there anything they do right?

Never mind, I was thinking UPS.
USPS rarely provides much information, but unless your package is registered or insured, it's not being tracked.

Why give a tracking number if it's not being tracked?

They track the entry point, but that's about it. Or at least that's what they used to do. They might track it along the way, but their tracking information would seem to indicate otherwise.

Their tracking seems to work, but it isn't updated properly.
If you call and give them the number, they can find the package for you, which kinda defeats the purpose of being able to look it up online and have up-to-the-minute reports.

I'm pretty sure they close their offices on time.

It gives a lot of information to amazon.com at least, I am not sure why I get more information from amazon but get less information when looking up the tracking number on USPS.com itself
