Overnight Delivery Services · Thursday May 3, 2007

If you need to have a package delivered by the next business day, do not trust the U.S. Postal Service with your package.

The post office’s Web site’s tracking ability is terrible, only provides rudimentary information and is updated too infrequently; nowhere need the exhaustive details FedEx, UPS or DHL/Airborne provides.

Bottom-line: don’t trust the USPS for anything but sending bills and everyday correspondence. Like many government agencies they still don’t understand how the private sector expects businesses to be run.
