So ... parcel tracking by USPS has been down for about a week. [View all]

You can still track parcels if you have registered for Informed Delivery, but the faster package tracking page ( https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackAction ) has been showing an error message since last weekend. I wonder if they're shutting it down and just haven't put up the right message yet.

Uglicans have been trying to break the USPS for better than 3/4 of a century now, and they keep succeeding, bit by bit.

I get regular updates on all the packages I've sent, or my wife is receiving, through the Shop app. maxsolomon Friday #3

That's interesting. I ordered something from a company on the other coast that usually ships the same day. Vinca Friday #4
