Unless you can make friends with the postal worker who delivers your mail to BofA, there's no way for you to do what you want cheaply and discretely.  If you can make friends with him/her, and he's/she's willing to log receipt and delivery dates for you, you might have a shot.  

The least expensive option, beyond sucking up to postal employees, would be prepaid cellular phones with GPS that you can track online.  But, that's still going to be very costly, and not the least bit subtle, given it would be virtually impossible to make anyone believe you accidentally mailed your cell phone, or the GPS tracker sparkmaker mentions (cute but mucho expensive).

Yes, I know sending it earlier *might* avoid some of these problems - however, it is by no means guaranteed, due to the inherent uncertainty of delivery times when using the USPS.

Does it concern no one that Bank of America is perpetrating fraud upon likely countless numbers of our fellow citizens, to the probable tune of thousands if not millions of dollars each month?  These scammers get you coming and going (since the last time I checked, my taxes were paying to bail out these greedy charlatans).

If I were to complain about the dismal state of our nation's prison system and requests ideas to help improve it, would your advice simply be to not get arrested?

Frankly, I believe this [personal mailer tracking] is an idea who time has come - my old phone company (before being absorbed by Ma Bell - oops, I mean AT&T) got smacked down by the courts for not putting a postmark on their outgoing bills, thus lacking required proof for their subsequent charging of late fees (kinda hard to pay that bill on time if it arrives on or after the due date).  Of course, the arrogant AT&T has reverted back to the old practice of omitting postmarks (yes, I know about USPS not requiring certain bulk mailing to bear external postmarks, but they're flaunting the prior judgment quite obviously).

This underscores the problem I suspected might be with a GPS solution, namely that they would have to send the collected GPS data back to me, which kinda defeats the whole purpose.  I suspect that the functionality I desire might not exist in a small enough size right now, but I guarantee it will before my mortgage is paid off ;-)

Well, I don't disagree with your premise, that BoA is evil, and does everything within their power to perpetuate that evilness upon their subject^W^W^W customers, but I am coming up short on a means to prove it - as I suspect others are as well. So, we suggested other means to prevent the related problems that may arise.

>enough like minded BofA mortgage customers that will be willing to call their local TV news stations and ask for an investigation

This has been public knowledge for many years.  Nothing new to see here.

The majority of the population has the right idea:
--pay your bills on time
--don't spend more money than you have available

It's like the guy who goes to his doctor complaining of pain in his eye every time he drinks a cup of coffee.

Doctor says:  Take the spoon out of the cup, dummy.

you can use a GPS tracking system to track children like the $100 one at best buy


The proboem is that the package will be in trucks and buldings mostly with little chance of being outside or near a window/little building shielding for the GPS to pick up a signal.

You will send up most likely spending $100 and not possibly not getting the GPS unit back and looking silly to the person you sent the package to.
