Re: Amazon USPS said by Bach:said by Mr Neutron:Can what the USPS offers actually be considered "tracking?" The last time I mailed a package with USPS, I referred to it as a tracking number and the USPS employee corrected me saying that it's not tracking, it's delivery confirmation. So in USPS' view it is not tracking. Yet, they still insist on billing their "delivery confirmation" as "tracking." Notice how it says "track and confirm" here:
»www.usps.com/shipping/trackandco···dconfirm
I agree with the USPS employee you talked to: it's delivery confirmation they're offering, not tracking. I think they deliberately misrepresent it so that consumers are left with the impression that, yes, they will know where their package is at all times (as tracking is supposed to allow you to do) when, no, they won't. Instead, they'll only know when the package has been accepted by the USPS and when it was delivered. Big difference. 
Somehow, despite this misrepresentation, I suspect that the USPS is not on the Federal Trade Commission's list of Naughty Firms that need investigating.
