I sent 40 rolls of slides from my Galapagos trip from Phoenix to AgX Imaging in Sault Ste Marie, MI. Mailed them on Saturday moring and he had them Monday morning. I think the USPS tracking "service" is a farce. You get no information while the package is in transit. Actually, I've learned of delivery by other means and have never checked the tracking to see if it was ever marked as delivered.
