I don't know why I'm bringing this up here other than to vent my frustrations somewhere, but the USPS must have serious problems. I have 2 what I consider high dollar items totaling about $2,000.00 lost out there somewhere. One shipped from WY. The other TX. 2 items shipped within days of each other just disappear with no tracking basically since the day they were shipped. I very seldom ship or receive many high dollar items, but when I do it never seems to go well. A detector I sold on here was lost for awhile and after much hand wringing and time on phone with USPS it finally made it to the buyer.
Small low cost items seem to be fast and pretty much on time. 3 day stuff almost never makes it on time. At least for me it doesn't. The more expensive the item the more likely it's going to get screwed up. I don't even know how they can claim 3 day shipping and not deliver, but still charge you for it.
I know USPS handles millions of packages and delivers most without problems, but 2 packages lost going to the same address at once! Shipped within a couple of days of each other. I'm either their unluckiest customer or they are failing.
