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.

The US Postal Service initiated several important changes to their shipping options and services on July 28th, 2013, which now includes free insurance of up to $50 for domestic shipments. Other changes included offering day-specific shipping times for domestic shipping as well as the renaming of Express Mail to Priority Express. Currently, our web hosting solution is reviewing all of the changes made by the USPS and hopes to update our system by Monday, July 29th. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope you understand that any changes need to be fully tested before being deployed en masse.
