As bad as the post office is about delivering packages on time now they want to charge you for it. The package I'm waiting for is a small oil seal in an envelope not a box.

If they want me to pay for it, they'll have to have a much better tracking program than what they have now. I'll see something shipped from FL showing 'leaving Miami' and nothing will change until it's delivered a week later.

Tracking is free unless you want tracking + unless I am missing something in your post.....

I ship Frankenstud Sling Keepers 6 days a week using standard USPS 1st class mail.
In 5 years and over 2,500 parcels I'd say they do a very good job.....
and they don't charge me anything to track...even internationally

I just want the actual tracking information that nobody else charges for.

Have you opened the Tracking History in your link?
