USPS/Cpap.com Shipping Has Been Awful Lately

Damn! You just made me snort milk out my nose!

I ordered a mask part Feb 10th at 4am when I awoke to it being broken.... here it is the 12th @ 6pm and tracking still shows it in a Houston Tx post office near Stratford from where the warehouse is..... Makes no sense with it being 3 hours away.

USPS tracking numbers are misleading. Most of the time with First Class or Priority Mail there is a scan when the item enters the system, and another when it is delivered. At no time in between can you check the tracking and be sure that what you see is correct.

Only with Registered Mail is tracking recorded and accurate at each phase of the journey.

In my own experience with cpap.com, I always select USPS and receive my items in 2-3 days from TX to CT, which is quite impressive. If I were ordering an urgent item, I would select overnight delivery with a courier like FedEx and happily pay for it.
