You can tell if it is a surepost package by the tracking number. After the 1Z, the 7th and 8th characters will be letters followed by 8 numbers.

Quite a bit of it is. UPS has decided it is cheaper to have USPS deliver the "last mile". You are correct that UPS delivers it to USPS and they take it from there. Fed Ex has the same sort of thing going. If you live "in town" then you will see much less of it though. Takes place quite a bit in "rural" areas.
You are correct with the Surepost. Not sure about the tracking # though.

All I know is day 10 and still no package! Still, this is the first time I've experienced this kind of delay with any company
