On Monday I received a message from UPS that a long-awaited package was being delivered Tuesday, so I arranged to be home on standby. By 4:00 it hadn't arrived, and I knew it wasn't going to make it. The shipping companies--all of them--have caught on to the fact that it is more profitable and less hassle to eliminate current tracking info unless you pay a "membership" fee for the privileged information of knowing exactly where the item and shipping you paid for is. Expedited shipping is nothing more than extra profit for the companies--at least where I live packages now are almost always late. There is also a correlation between the longer a package gets batted around in the system--the more damaged the package will be when it finally arrives. I just checked the status--I'm expecting a high-end match barrel--and the status has been lowered to "estimated" delivery and the last location it was scanned indicates the package has "reversed course" and back out of the state down south somewhere.
