How can a package traveling via an "Express" service that's meant to take 5 days get to JFK airport and sit for 4 days doing nothing according to tracking.

What happened to the high regard Americans held the USPS in years ago, I know a lot considered it one of the best mail services in the world. Lately I've had packages sit in Chicago for over a month doing nothing...

By contrast the Royal mail seems to be flowing excellently, her Majesty seems to know how to get things done!

 

I'm still waiting for a watch I bought almost a month ago... This is the tracking info.

One word for international: FedEx

 

Speaking for myself who receives and sends over 100 watch related packages via USPS a year I have noticed a significant decline in service level over the past 2 years or so not coincidentally is when USPS started to run into financial difficulties and consequently started cutting positions. I also know several people who work for USPS and their morale is down and agree that the service level has definitely declined. For overseas transactions, I have always insisted on FedEx for high value packages - the extra cost is worth the reduced transit time not to mention the up to date tracking information.

 

I've had some nasty experiences with Priority over the past couple of years, but it's tough to blame solely USPS since Auspost was involved too. Have huge boat parts returned to sender without explanation is never fun.

 

Hi and welcome Justin!

 

Still no update btw...

 

Well... slowly getting there, hopefully customs don't play games with me
