The only accurate part is when it starts delivery.

This is not to say that there can be delays, but it has been my experience (including last week's delivery) that delivery timing (including delays if the occur) are accurately represented on the USPS tracking web site.

He didn't say the delivery was the worst. He said that the tracking was the worst. And it is. With UPS especially, and FE for the most part, the tracking is decent. Hell, with UPS not only can I see every step of the way, item arrived at facility, item left facility, item arrived at next facility, etc..., but I can use live GPS tracking to see exactly where the delivery truck is when my package is out for delivery 99% of the time.

FedEx is not quite as good as UPS, but really close.

USPS, the tracking is pretty horrible. You don't really have any idea what's going on until you receive the package. Sometimes you'll see that the package arrived in your city or at your post office, sometimes you don't.
