They do. It's 35c extra for Priority Mail (and I think the same for Express
Mail), 60c extra for first class. You get a twenty-digit tracking number
that can be looked up on the web or touch-toned to a toll-free phone number,
and the response states the time and zip code of acceptance by the USPS until
it is delivered, when it states the time and zip of delivery with an option
to state the earlier information if you're still interested. I've found it
pretty useful, and I email the tracking number to the recipient so that (s)he
can keep tabs on it as well.

UPS has a pollyanna delusion about certain "safe" zip codes, where packages
can be left unattended unless the specific item is marked "signature re-
quired," in which case the driver pays no attention, drops it at the door,
looks at the doorbell without touching it, and drives off just the same.
