We’re happy to report that the US Postal Service (USPS) has really stepped up its game of late, since making the transition to a real-time scanning and tracking system, particularly to most international destinations. Moreover, they now offer free tracking (something we’ve been asking them to do for a long time) and include $50 worth of free insurance should anything happen to your parcel. Here’s a short primer produced by the USPS that might help allay any fears you may have using their service.

In related news, the USPS has announced that beginning November 17th, they will be delivering packages on Sundays straight through the holiday season. Its entirely possible that the USPS could extend this service well beyond the holiday season, as a means of getting a leg up on their competition.
