That is not entirely correct. The postal service receives the item for the "last mile". In other words, if you order something to be delivered in Boston, MA from Topeka, KA, UPS controls it until it is dropped to the delivery unit in Boston that handles the last mile. So, you are not at the whim of USPS, you are the whim of UPS.
Makes senseā¦.unless the item sits or gets lost at the local PO. Or am I missing something?
