Why is it... The USPS can get me a credit card bill on time, every month.. make sure that my electric bills arrive on time every month.. Hell, they can even get me mail from aunts and uncles in ireland within a reasonable time... but when it comes to ordering anything related to pvs, it takes twice as long as it should? Hell, I could have driven to provape and back by now damnit! >.<

LOL every order, no matter where it's been from has come with a tracking number, and it's worked like it should every time.
then I ordered from provape. and for 6 days it showed the package sitting in the post office outside of town near provape. i was pulling out my hair wondering why it stalled, and even when I got it it showed nothing between them and delivered...... drove me nuts.

( i think they made a secret deal with the USP to purposely torture new buyers with the anticipation)

If you consider the volume the USPS handles its really amazing they have a 1% loss rate do you have a 1% mistake rate at your job? The Post office is not a government bureaucracy they are a victim of the government. The post office delivers much cheaper than private parcel services. In fact Fed-EX, UPS, DHL all use USPS when its to costly for them to deliver.
The USPS is not going broke the Bush Administration imposed unrealistic financial burdens on them in order to break them and privitise our postal system. Don't take my word do some research for your selves.
If this happens you will regret it I promise. Ive been in other countries so I can compare we have a great postal system.
Having said all of that I have had a lost package and it dose suck. But Its life and we all screw up sometimes. You also have to consider its Xmss time they are flooded right now

I have really great luck with usps and always wondered why people spend extra for fed ex.
But right now I have one order out there that seems to be on a very slow boat. I paid for priority shipping - that should only take 3 days max but the order sat in an east coast distribution center for 3 days before it even left the state. Once on the road it took another 3 days and then, yesterday tracking said "out for delivery" Only the package was never delivered. The current status reads "delivery status not updated" plththth...

What is truly amazing is this order was placed 4 days earlier than another order from the same seller. I have that second order already and yet still waiting for the first one....

I have terrible luck with USPS... 1 out of 4 packages I order either get lost, opened and have contents missing or are just plain damaged. Currently my provari and zap are hanging around in limbo land, along with a small juice order from electronicnicstix. It might cost more to use UPS, Fedex or DHL but I've never had problems with them and for high dollar purchases would prefer 100% to use them.

Seems like its a local problem to me Id try submitting a complaint above you local post office epically if you packages are opened! Sounds like there is a thief working there!
