arbitrarily set, usually based on rules copied from other companies!
I think they avoid USPS because it is unreliable and doesn't take
inquiries about lost mail seriously.
Last year they lost a registered letter I sent. Their inquiry number
had very long hold times and clueless employees. Their standard reply
was "we don't know, we'll call you back." But they never would call
back. I eventually gave up on them and had to pay late fees. USPS
could care less.
Some years ago I lost an UPS package. They too said "we'll call you
back" and they did. "Sorry, your package was run over by a truck.
We'll send you a check for its value." And they promptly did.
