I hate UPS

[Cold Spring]

As written earlier, there is NO tracking of USPS registered mail. Period.

Just want to share a UPS story here. Recently a UPS gun shipment from the west coast took 11 days to get to me here in PA. There were two unexplained stops at intermediate terminals with no tracking info except after the fact when it got to the next location. Gun wasn't as advertised and I returned it by Priority Mail = shipped late on a Tuesday just before my local PO closed the window, and delivered back out west at 9-ish on Friday morning. Three days, not too shabby.

Registered mail will provide you with tracking if enter the RM number on your slip into the USPS tracking web site. The tracking looks to be a bit slow, as a package will be at one location for several days, but it does work.

Perhaps this is a new service, as the office of well-known gunsmith (who sends all his guns back by USPS RM) just last year insisted to me that USPS does not track. I sent them a copy of the screen showing my Parker on the way to his shop by RM. I have sent several other long guns in the past year and watched them make their way to the destination, with delivery confirmation.

Thank you Patrick, that must be a new feature implemented since I last used RM for a shipment maybe two years ago. I tried using the USPS website back then and it wouldn't work for RM. Even checked with the postmistress here at the local PO and she concurred that's just the way it was at that time. Thanks again for your new info.
