Where's My Stuff??

One of the best parts of internet shopping is being able to track the package as it makes its way to me.I can't explain why, but I really do get excited as it gets closer and closer, even when I'm not self-gifting. Equal to my excitement over getting a package is my disappointment when I learn it's being sent via the US Postal Service. Now, don't get me wrong - I like supporting the post office because somehow I think if they get enough business they'll stop raising stamp prices Every Single Year.But their tracking system is terrible. Amazon.com tells me my package shipped via USPS on Saturday of last week. But the last package sighting was in Lexington, Kentucky and when I track it on usps.com - using the tracking number provided to me - I'm told there is no record of that package in their system. I'm not worried, because that has happened before. It's quite annoying, though! UPS is my favorite for both sending and receiving because their tracking system is second-to-none.
