You can get delivery confirmation and insurance for an additional fee, but otherwise there is no tracking number, so once it's mailed it's not scanned again until it is delivered if you purchased 'Delivery Confirmation'. In my village alone, 1200 homes I would estimate that Priority Mail is delivered to at 30 or more addresses everyday. I had a Priority Mail delivery yesterday from an eBay purchase. It simply comes in your normal mail.

What you wanted, or thought you were getting is Express Mail. That starts at $22.95 and is guaranteed at most locations in the USA by 10:30am the next day. It comes with $100 insurance and for an additional fee you can have Sunday or Holiday delivery. Had you purchased Express Mail, a tracking number would of been issued and tracking via the USPS website would of been available. Also a separate mailman would of delivered the package to your home frontdoor by 10:30 the next day or you have a money back guarantee for up to one year. Had you sent 3 boxes via Express Mail it would of cost $68.85, is this what you paid?

Here's a link that explains these services.
