Yes, you can get delivery confirmation with USPS, but can the package
actually be tracked?
I ordered a video one time and I had the confirmation number and it showed
up as being mailed from the post office and that was the last time it was ever
seen.
Delivery confirmation shows it was mailed.
US Post office says they don't track packages, that's just a number to show
confirmation it was delivered, but no way to find it if it's lost.

I too, have had more than one bad experience w/UPS
shipments. Items literally destroyed, and they say more or less, "too bad,
should've packed it better". Grrr. I've not had anything lost, yet, but I use
them so little anymore.
I made special efforts to pack when I ship. Even the lady at
the antique store where I shipped UPS went to bat for me w/the district rep.
No go.
Their claim of insurance is as worthless as far as I'm
concerned. With USPS, you can get delivery comfirmation, insurance, etc.

I had a similar experience with UPS leaving a package at a home for
handicapped people that I was supposed to get (a part for my Fury I spent
weeks calling around and looking for). I checked the tracking # and they
said it was signed for by such and such a name, I spoke to a woman at UPS
and she told me it wasn't their problem,they would only have
done something about it if I had called the day it was delivered (like
I knew what day they delivered it). I just drove up my road knocking on
doors until I got the right place. UPS has a poor track record with me,they
have lost and broken many things I have shipped out and received and
they always never really seem to care at all, I try to use the Post Office
as much as possible.
