Here's a timely comparison of data provided on the status pages for both UPS and USPS, obtained just a minute ago, for packages sent out two days ago.
UPS Package:
Code:
SUNNYVALE, CA, US 03/22/2010 9:57 P.M. DEPARTURE SCAN
03/22/2010 9:26 P.M. ORIGIN SCAN
US 03/22/2010 6:51 P.M. BILLING INFORMATION RECEIVED
USPS Package:
Code:
Arrival at Unit, March 24, 2010, 8:54 am, NIAGARA FALLS, NY 14302
Processed through Sort Facility, March 22, 2010, 11:22 pm, PORTLAND, OR 97218
Acceptance, March 22, 2010, 1:13 pm, LA PINE, OR 97739
The UPS' three lines of details are all at the same facility. While the USPS information isn't tabular, it does provide more usable/useful detail in this case. To be fair, the UPS package does include an expected delivery date (not shown) while the USPS one doesn't. I can guestimate it will be delivered tomorrow however, because the package is already sitting at the local facility.
