Oh good, glad you like them and they got there safely!  I agree with Liz, Jon.  Will be looking for my fish in the morning and have Bill open the box.   Thanks,

I put 'hold for pick up' and to call you...but I'd call them..that way it doesn't get out on a carrier's route by mistake...... ....they should be fine. I just wish the PO would update their web site...I know that they're still not in Forest Park, Illinois...

USPS is my least favorite way to ship because their site dosen't allow you to track the shippment.  They say that you can track it,  but in reality you cannot.  I find it beyond annoying.

My experience has been pretty much the exact opposite.  If the girls at the local Post Office hadn't been so helpful, I probably wouldn't ship nearly as many fish as I do today.

While I don't get an update just minutes after a package is delivered, I find the tracking at USPS every bit as good as UPS or FedEx.  Here's the info for a couple of boxes that went out this week.....

Now I've had packages got haywire in the past, but I've heard the same or worst from the other carriers as well.  No delivery service is going to be perfect with the volume of packages they handle, but I've had very good luck using USPS and saved my buyers tons of money on shipping charges too!
