Well I think I figured out what the problem was. It seems that if you goof up the first digit in my zip code and key in a 0 instead of a 7, you end up in Kearney, New Jersey. The tracking shows that it has the right address, but the people at the post office got in a hurry when they keyed it into the system I guess.

Fantastic. Just fantastic. Oh well. Maybe I'll get it this week. I sure doubt they'll put a rush on it since they screwed it up.

At least they figured it out and found it. Could have gotten lost in the post office's black hole.

Never had a problem with USPS. Are you using Priority Mail, or just Parcel Post? And are you using the automated postal center, or just handwriting your labels?

I used priority overnight. There was nothing wrong with the label, the dude at the post office could read it just fine. They just sent it to Jersey via, I don't know, Europe?

I prefer USPS Priority mail. Never had a problem with it. Get things from Cali in 2 or 3 days. And it's cheaper than UPS and FedEx.

Did you use their packaging, or yours? If yours they might screw it up due to not knowing its priority.

In my experience they sticker the shit out of the box if it's your own packaging. You can't look at it and not notice the Priority stickers.

Here they tell you to put stickers on it. They might do it if you're dealing face to face with them at the counter, but if you just put your package in the chute, who knows.
