Paid for UPS shipping and the package was immediately sent to the US Post Office.

I shipped something internationally from the UPS Store and I was offered to choose to ship via UPS or the Post Office. UPS was about double the price, but I chose UPS for reliability and good past experience over the years vs. USPS.

The tracking says that the shipment was immediately transferred to the Post Office with a new USPS tracking #.

I paid double. I was never told this could happen. I would have just used the post office.

When I was importing motorcycle parts from the EU I had the same issues and finally had FedEx pick up form the vendor and ship to the US. Got here faster and cleared customs fast.

I was importing form the UK, Italy, Austria, France and Estonia.

Domestically there has been both UPS and Fedex shipping where USPS does the final delivery. I feel like that’s become fairly common but it only happens at the very end before delivery is made. I had that happen just last week with a shirt from Macy's.

I ran an audio store in 1990s set next to a large USPS center.

Every late afternoon a few UPS and Fedex trucks would pull up and off load their cargo contents on the postal dock. Tom
