In other news, I had a holster shipped from Oklahoma yesterday via Priority Mail. It departed Oklahoma City last night, and its estimated delivery is Friday. We'll see if it gets here on time. Most of my experience says that it will, but we'll see...

Got my oil filter wrench last night - USPS flat rate envelope on the outside, light cardboard-based USPS priority envelope in the middle, then USPS Tyvek-based envelope inside that. The seller knows how to get something through the mail. He has an EBay rating of 12000 something.
I don't suppose it would have hurt if he also put From: To: labels on all the layers, just in case it broke out during transit

USPS delivered the mail...literally. The box is on my kitchen table at home, as estimated.
The biggest frustration I have with USPS is their tracking system. You generally see when it left the origin, but you don't generally see any updates until it was received at the destination post office. I know this holster didn't fly straight from Oklahoma City, OK, to Fayetteville, NC. It likely went through Raleigh or Greensboro or Charlotte first. But you never see intermediate steps in the chain as you often do with FedEx or UPS packages. So the receiver is left to wonder, "well, did they lose it or what?"
