I recently shipped a guitar I sold on Ebay. (Luckily not a Guild) I followed all the rules, printed and applied my own USPS shipping label, didn't cover the scan code bar with tape, etc, and dropped it off at my local USPS outlying station. That was last Wednesday. As of today, Sunday, it's not showing in the tracking. I talked to the station where I dropped it off, they remember the package going out the following day, but it doesn't get scanned until it reaches the main post office and so far, no scan recorded. My buyer is frustrated as I am, but Ebay Community has many negative comments about similar experiences. Some even say the tracking scan didn't show up until the package was delivered.
I guess I assumed a feature such as tracking scans would be pretty fool proof, but maybe not. Tomorrow I'll be following up with the main post office. Anyone had any similar problems with the USPS? What could I have done differently for future shipping? UPS or FEDEX?
