UPS may be required to scan at each, but this does not always happen. I have WAY better tracking experiences with USPS then i do with UPS. plus USPS will actually take care of your package. this cannot be said for UPS trust me. ive seen packages thrown, kicked, played with like its a football... believe me UPS is well worse than USPS. they usually dont even knock on your door. they just drop the package on my doorstep and walk away. i asked a UPS guy why the delivery guy didnt knock on my door and he laughed. the faster they go the better for them individually so they dont give a rats ass if your package was damaged or not. or if you even know its there. i see it EVERY day from them. USPS still can suck, but not nearly as bad as UPS. i avoid brown like the plague when possible.
i find this hard to believe. i find USPS to be much much faster than UPS. every single one of my orders from TV was delivered within 2 days of ordering. all via USPS standard Priority. the only way a UPS package will make it in 2 days is if you request a "2nd day" service... of which will cost you much more than USPS Priority. i also see tons of packages coming to and from and have the exact opposite experience from the guy you spoke with.
DHL, FedEx, etc... they all suck in some ways.
sorry for the off topicness
carry on
I can't vouch for the guy since I don't know him, but that is what he said. He does also deal mostly in large, heavy packages, so that could have a bearing as well.
I could see how someone could make an argument that USPS delivery service could be better than UPS in certain areas, but I don't see how anyone could claim the USPS tracking is better than UPS. With UPS, I have only on rare occasions not been able to successfully track a package each step along the way. With USPS, I'm lucky to get one scan along the way, which is actually an improvement over just a couple years ago.
