The US Postal Service: When you absolutely, positively don’t give a damn whether it arrives or not

« Hey everyone! | blog.ariffic | MSDN hates Clippy, too »

Ever tried tracking something via the US Postal Service’s website?

The USPS really, really sucks

This is a screenshot of a tracking page for an item that was shipped to me two days ago.
Note that the tracking page says “Electronic shipping info received.”

It will continue to say this until the package arrives, at which time it will change to “Delivered.” What the hell’s the point?

When this happened to me once, I figured it was a glitch or something. Then it happened again. And again. And again.

Fool me once… strike one.
Fool me twice… strike three.
