Sean,
you are right.
That's precisely what tracking is... being able to follow and know
exactly where a package is, while it is enroute, from stop to stop.
Tracking is not just knowing when an item arrives to its destination.
However--Priority mail (or first class) can be tracked
We can track anything using priority mail.
I actually prefer the post office for shipments.
Prefer Express Mail to Fed Ex. No extra charge for Saturday
delivery, and historically FED EX will not give you insurance
over $500 for film posters. They're working to change that now

INCORRECT.
Registered, first class mail can be tracked-- from stop to stop to
final destination.
oRegistered Mail – The mailpiece is accounted for its entire
journey and can be monitored from location to location. This service
can be added to First Class and Priority Mail.
Yes - Registered is the ONLY tracking service that the USPS uses for domestic
Priority and First Class mail.

confirmation that a package is delivered, the USPS is not required to scan
delivery confirmation at any point in
Exactly, as Rich and Jeff agree/explained (hey... wait... is that a Mopo

I've received several packages shipped via the Post Office with this
kind of tracking (sending it registered). It works, except for one
caveat: They are very slow to update the stops the package is making.
The problems with this particular scenario illustrate why people
should make every effort to work with qualified dealers with plenty of
experience in all areas of the hobby.

How to UNSUBSCRIBE
The number you show below is a delivery confirmation number only, not
an actual tracking number... and was provided because you shipped
(and bought) with the E signature confirmation service-- its no
different than when one buys the delivery confirmation for an item at
a post office.. this
I understand that Stamps.com calls it a tracking number, but when you plug it
into the USPS.com database it tells you that service you purchased is signature
confirmation.
Which is another animal entirely, and it also states that delivery status will
be provided when available - but nothing

Normally I would just send them back and move on! But, these are great posters and I was really excited about getting them. Waited almost two weeks. So, I bought a few of them. When the postman pulled the tube out of his truck and walked up my driveway , it was like a BAD DREAM.
That's not what we need for a $300 poster. Delivery Confirmation is scanned at the post office destination and will let us know if it ever arrived at our post office. Many times a package has sat in my local post office and I checked online and went down and picked it up. That is adequate
