This is an old subject but it probably doesn't hurt to raise the issue again. For the second time in a year a package which I shipped by USPS Priority mail has been lost. By "lost" I mean that the tracking stopped as soon as the Post Office recorded it in their system. Five days later and there have been no updates. Upon checking with the Post Office their attitude is "We sent it to the next location which would have been by either UPS or FedEx air. We don't guarantee that your package will arrive." Apparently all USPS Priority Mail going further than a certain distance goes by UPS or FedEx air. Basically the post office attitude is, "You're screwed."

Heaven knows how long it will be before I can file a claim. The last time this happened the lens I sold traveled three times from one coast to the other. From now on I will only ship UPS or FedEx. At least they track items better and let you know if there is a delay.
