Shipping tracking number confusion

[AV8R4AA]

I have had some bad luck with an unnamed online parts house.
The exchange of emails is that everyone is waiting on the Post Office. And they
are
at fault. I researched the tracking number and the box showed no progress
other than being started at the warehouse.

It's now the third week of waiting for this shipment.

My question is does the USPS update the progress on shipped items?

When I use UPS, they are all over it. It's barely one step below Facebook Live Streaming. They update every 100 yards of movement.

I'm just not buying that the package that was issued a tracking number,
has showed no progress since the 4th of this month.

I would have been much more likely to use this company again, if they just admitted that they F-ed up.

Now, to get my damn money back I need to fill out a lost package form.

News flash: it ain't lost, it's never left the building.
