Re: Amazon USPS

So an hour ago, I just emailed what happened. They replied with that they are using FedEx Smart Post to do the shipping and then using USPS as their last leg. They gave me a link to fedex's tracking site and surprisingly, it was there. It gave me an estimated delivery date of September 22.

So, in the future, if anyone can't get a track on USPS's track, try Fedex's tracking site.....

and also UPS.. both of them have similar service agreement with USPS. With the Free Shipping service that Amazon is offering they are going to either use UPS or FedEX + USPS for shipping because it might be easier for them to track everything afterwords.

Woot.com also uses Smart Post. It sucks. Took them a week to deliver a package from Dallas to me, all of maybe 175 miles.

The Smart Post motto seems to be "We really suck, but we sure are cheap!"

It isn't the FedEx leg that sucks, it's the USPS leg of the journey.

If you order enough from Amazon, it really is worth it to get a Prime membership. Free 2-day shipping and $4 for overnight.

I think Prime costs about $60 per year, I have had it since around 2004 and it really is a lifesaver if you need to send gifts FAST for birthdays, holidays, etc.

No, it isn't.

It's worth every penny if you order a lot of stuff online. The savings have probably paid for my membership 3-4x in the last 60 days alone.
