I was in a casino the other day and won .75¢ in the slot machine ----- Original Message ----- From: James Richard To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, February 10, 2010 7:22 PM Subject: [MOPO] The Experts: Wrong Again
The other day Peter send us this example of the tracking number he got using stamps.com to pay (paying only $1.95 for their "eSignature Confirmation service). All the Big Name Experts tut-tutted and told him it was not a "real tracking number" like the big boys use. So, I took the number and plugged it into USPS. I noticed there was a link I could click which would cause the Post Office to send email notices of the packages progress. I submitted my address to that link. Here's what I received from the Post Office today for that number -- Hmmm...it looks pretty much like what one expect to get from a "real tracking number" to me: Track & Confirm e-mail update information provided by the U.S. Postal Service.
