I'd rather be notified every stop than go days wondering where it's at since it left the last stop.

And the nice thing about USPS tracking is you can choose, via checkbox, not only what updates will be sent to you, but how. I end up with nauseating detail because I, like you, want to know each and every documented step of the trip.

There have been a couple of instances where a package has gone from its origin point to the nearest mail sorting center, or even the local post office, and the wait after it arrives at "the next to the last step" is longer than all the time taken to get it there. Admittedly, that's rare, but I did have that happen recently where once a package got to my local post office, it didn't get to me for several days after that. That's very unusual, but it happened.

I always "select all", when I track via text. I've had some packages arrive in Vegas, which is the last stop before Bullhead, AZ, then head to Washington or some other place far, far away. I guess it's possible the package may have been stuck to another going somewhere else but it sure is aggravating.

UPS has the absolute WORST tracking system ever. They used to be pretty good but they give less and less detail all the time. FedEx is good, however, and I get those updates via email. Their updates allow you to label what's in the package so you know which update is which.

Not in my experience. USPS tracking, if you choose to expose the detailed tracking steps and/or have every step emailed or texted to you, has every bit as much depth as most, and more than some.

It's almost too detailed, with each stop along the way documented.

Yep. Just had a new watch band shipped to me from WA via USPS. I literally got a msg at every stop along the way. I'm fine with that.

I dont track parcels. I got better things to do. Knowing where it is every 5 minutes wont make it get here any quicker. It'll arrive when it arrives.

At least it had the decency to leave it whole! (The very first cat I ever had as a young child loved leaving "mouse bits" and dead snakes on the doorstep as offerings. Ick.)

I had a cat one time that stole a rabbit's foot out of my grandson's mama's purse. By the time we realized it, it was all slobbery and wet....... hahaha!!!

Not a great surprise. It seems that fur products, no matter how ancient and processed to become such, still retain "that wild thing scent" for cats. I learned this for mink tails, which were very popular for making women's hats way back when, after one of my cats found one that had dropped off an old hat and was having an absolute ball with it!

A single thrift-store mink tail hat kept us in cat toys for many, many years afterward.

Believe it or not, I had a kitty at one time that would "rat" the others out, if they brought a lizard, bird, or other small critter up to the house. Spanky would come crying to me and I had to follow her to see what it was. If it wasn't dead, I'd find a spot to slip it over the fence out of the watchful eyes of the one who caught it. She did this every single time. I've never known a more compassionate kitty.
