Even EVGA I believe says not to use USPS for RMA services. Don't skimp out.

Hmmmm, sounds like customer service is like Linksys tech support.   Want your blood pressure to go up?

I only use UPS when I ship out RMA's... their tracking is better than the USPS is.  FedEx is a bit more of a trip for me (four blocks) and the price is comparable so, it's UPS.  Besides I know folks there.
 
Houston Control we are at T-Minus 1.

I use USPS almost exclusively for shipping items I sell or RMA's. Not only is it cheaper, it is nearly always there within two days using Priority. If I can choose USPS Priority during check-out, I do. The only exception is when it is a larger item due to cost and speed not correlating well. Still, I find USPS to be great - not sure how you got so unlucky with your experience.

Same here. If you print your own labels and pack the merchandise yourself it's way cheaper than any other service. Used them for years, never an issue and the 2-3 day arrivals makes for happy customers.

Dont use usps for anything. The only time I ever needed anything mailed to me they messed it up.

If it were just a delayed delivery, I would have considered myself simply unlucky.  However, because of the following incidents, I now think it is rather a systematic problem of USPS, not just an isolated event.
 
- The priority mail was shipped on Wednesday from Maryland.  A sorting facility in Anaheim sent it to Irvine post office, about 20 miles away from Brea on Friday.  It was then sent back to the same sorting facility the same day.  I think at least sending it to the Brea post office would be more simple and cost efficient, if the Irvine post office couldn't deliver it to EVGA.
- Tracking showed that it was delivered on Saturday 8:50 AM.  On Monday, EVGA told me it was impossible, since the local post office knew the business is closed on Saturday.
- Call to 1-800-ASK----- has no option to talk to any human being.  It just asked for tracking number, and when I gave the number, I heard it was delivered, period.  After several try, finally when I spoke someone, he asked me for tracking number and gave me a case number.  An investigation would follow and someone would call me, according to him.
- Next day, no one contacted me.  I called 1-800 number again, and kept saying "agent" several times, which finally led to someone again.  I was told then that they couldn't do anything because they are only taking claims, and investigation is handled by a totally separate entity.  So no more information.  Instead, they gave me a consumer affair division contact.  Call to the division directly went to voice mail box.  I left voice mail, no one contacted me .
- On Wednesday, I got a call from the consumer affair division, who then asked me for tracking number, which means they were not doing anything because they have no record of the tracking number.  Whoever gave the case number to me in the beginning just pretended to record the complaint, but never bothered to fill in the tracking number, not even a wrong one.  So I gave the tracking number, and I was told it was delivered on Monday.  I checked with EVGA, and it was actually received on Tuesday.  I asked her in that case why the tracking information still shows it was delivered on Saturday, she couldn't answer.
- This unfortunate event involves multiple entities within USPS, geographically and sub-organization wise. All of them have demonstrated this attitude that everything is fine because it has been delivered anyway.  No explanation, no excuse, no nothing about missending, false tracking result, no record of tracking on complaint case, and still no correction on tracking information.  I suspect that they simply wait somehow miraculously the mail would show up without actively trying to do anything.  I smell a culture of legacy and sloths, and that's why I warn not to use USPS.  For business purpose, I've been using exclusively UPS for more than 7 years.  I had one missing delivery a few years back, very important, and their customer service was very effective and responsive.  It was found and delivered a day after, within the critical time limit.  I had several issues with FeDex when receiving, yet still their customer service was at least responsive, if not necessarily effective.   
 

It's likely that's your tracking number, but still possible it isn't. What's your tracking number? Someone can probably tell if it isn't supposed to be one.

Kielrein, I would check the date on the thread first. 2013 is a long time ago.

Or possibly establishing his presence with his 'first' post. :)
