USPS To Start Adding Bar Codes For Better Tracking...

READ ARTICLE HERE

"As for the general public, Day said he is uncertain as to whether individuals see any need for real-time tracking of first-class letters, noting that the Postal Service already provides delivery confirmation for packages and that most bill payments and birthday cards arrive on time."

"The question is, do we need to build an intelligent mail, unique solution for individual customers?" he said. "We can. I don't yet see the reason to do it. But if the demand is there, we'll build it.""....


Now, I am not sure where the line is drawn between individual item mail / small parcel...and businesses but it is a step in the right direction.

I know Paypal has been terribly confusing for years since their terms state *online viewable tracking* yet DC is the only thing most seller's use, which only shows delivery, not tracking. eBay and Paypal are horrible when it comes to being clear about their terms..to buyers and sellers. Having a better tracking ability without the cost will greatly reduce the chance of fraudulent charge backs due to non delivery.

Thoughts?
