I rarely ship anything. I do order stuff, but obviously not nearly as much as you used to ship. I rarely have issues with packages not arriving at all. And the shipping estimates by FedEx and UPS are usually pretty spot on. Most issues that I've had are either due to how something was packed or possibly weather related delays or maybe if it's the busy season and the UPS guy gets here to deliver after the office is closed when they can't get into the building so they come back the next day.

Yeah, the USPS tracking is moderate at best. It does seem to have gotten better, but it's still not as good as UPS & FE

I do occasionally get some weird crossed messages from delivery and Amazon. Usually, that's because the delivery is coming via the Amazon Delivery Service vs UPS or FedEx.

Now the strange thing about UPS is many times items are shipped from the west coast and they go to Kentucky?, then it comes to HNL.
Wow, that would be impressive! Weird that the packages travel so far in the opposite direction though.

Need more info though. Is it coming from northern az, then trucked down to Phoenix to catch a flight?
Yeah, this is UPS ground, and the business that I ordered from is in Prescott.
