USPS test: We mailed 4 packages with GPS trackers to see how quickly they got there

We count on the United States Postal Service rain or shine. Our postal workers always show up, but we’ve heard from you that — sometimes — getting a package via USPS takes a long time or it doesn’t come at all.

With the holiday season fast approaching, we know there’s concern. So, we put the nation's mail service to the test.

It started at our studio in St. Petersburg, Florida. We got two medium Priority Mail boxes and two regular brown boxes to send First-Class mail.

We loaded them up and added GPS trackers in each. We sent the pricier Priority Mail box and the less expensive First-Class box to our friend, Haley Harrison with First Coast News in Jacksonville. We sent the same to our buddy, Chris Ingalls with KING 5 in Seattle.
