USPS tracking is a joke. I had one package still say they were waiting to even receive it (that message about being informed of a package and nothing else) when it was sitting on my steps. I was beginning to wonder if the person wasn't sending it until the next week. It arrived on sat and finally said delivered when they updated on Monday. Most of their tracking info is at least 1 city behind but generally it's not even accurate to the area of the country and there isn't an estimated arrival date. It's pretty worthless unless I'm out of town and want to have an idea if there is a package already sitting at my house. They usually do stay up to date on when it was already delivered aside from a few exceptions like I mentioned. So I can at least call someone to put the package inside for me after I see it's been delivered. As for knowing when it will be delivered or even where it's at until it's delivered their tracking is not the least bit helpful.
But remember, this isn't really about making our lives easier, anyway. It's intent is to give your hatching eggs the best chance at surviving the trip to you ans prvoding you with good hatches. If it means you gotta get up an hour early or go to the P.O. at lunch break, well, so it goes.
It's not an hour early for me. It's like telling you to get up at 3am to pickup a box of eggs. For chicks I might but it's one of the reasons I don't order chicks. For eggs and how often I get shipments of eggs no way. I can't fall back to sleep after that either so it would be a night of a couple hours of sleep and would probably greatly impact my college grades and my work. More and more people are not working a standard hour job and I was actually talking to several computer programmers (the degree I'm currently working on) who's companies allow them to come to work and leave pretty much whatever time they feel like it provided they put in so many hours a day. You really need to keep others situations in mind when setting up things like this. It caused a huge problem here just because the person did not check and also really frustrated everyone at my local post office so they have been less helpful on future packages.
