Take it from someone that has been using the services of all these companies for over well two decades - USPS is the most reliable of the bunch. And often the least expensive, to boot.

My Daddy always taught me that S**! happens, and I’m a strong believer in that. Trust me, I have patience. The problem here is, they say that it’s delivered but can’t come up with the proof of where’s it’s delivered or who signed for it. I know for a fact that UPS and Fed Ex, could at least confirm the delivery address. That’s my issue. Now I have a feeling that I’ll be Ozman1944 trying to hunt this down for ever. I have an engagement and I was looking forward to wearing my new kilt. Unfortunately I’ll be kilt less.

A signature and delivery address will show on the USPS tracking system only if it was sent "Signature Confirmation", "Certified", "Registered", or "Express." If it was sent simply "Delivery Confirmation" (like most parcels), the tracking will show only the time/date of delivery and the delivery zipcode (no signature required!).
Get the tracking number from the sender, and look it up on the USPS website. That will show when it was scanned as "delivered", and the carrier who entered the scan could be tracked down as well...!

Sure, I did but all I get is the Zip that it was delivered to. That does me no good. In any case the establishment that I got my kilt from is sending another.

Problem solved, but I still have a loathing for the US postal service.
