You gotta love the post office....I sent a package out on 3-20 with DC on it....it says on the post office web site that it is enroute.....LOL since the bidder got the package yesterday, left feedback and sent email stating they love the dress.....so go to the web site this morning and it say enroute still.....I just think it is strange...has anyone else had this happen to them?

Yes! The post office didn't scan the package when it was delivered. I remember seeing somewhere the USPS was bragging about a "90% scan rate" (i.e. 90% of the packages they deliver will actually show "delivered" on the website).
I sincerely hope that 90% has gone up significantly since I saw it.

I mailed a package with DC on it on 3/20, at the customer's request/expense (i won't waste my $$). I WATCHED the clerk scan it. Later that evening, nothing on the web-site. Next day, still nothing. Yesterday, still nothing. This afternoon it finally showed up in their system as being delivered Yesterday!

3 times in the last month I have had items delivered but to different cities than I mailed it to.
One was going to IL and was delivered in Orange Mass.
Another going to Vale washington went to San Diego.
If this keeps up I will have to stop using USPS

I have had good luck with DC. 100% of the time, the origin scan showed up on the USPS site the next day. The destination scan showed up the next day 95% of the time (but never more than 2 days.)
