S3D Re: priority mail woes

["Andrea S. Blair" <asblair@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

UPS and Fed Ex are usually better choices for packages. An alternative with 
the U.S. Postal Service is to use a service that has some tracking 
capabilities. Two-day Priority alone does not have any paperwork for 
tracking, but there is a new service where you can buy a tracking number for 
an additional charge. This is a bar code that is scanned. My understanding 
is that you can track your package via the internet on the USPS site. 
Overnight mail has paperwork with it, but is more expensive of course. You 
can also ask for other services, such as registered or insured (which you 
can at least get some money back with), that are also recorded by USPS. Hope 
this helps (for next time). Good luck recovering your viewer. I am still 
waiting for a box of slides (most labeled with names and addresses) from 
about 9 years ago. It never made it from Virginia to Maryland.  {:>(
