USPS Sucks.

[asystejs]

My wife had a USPS package start in Oklahoma on Nov 19, bounce around
for a while in Colorado during Nov and Dec before going to Illinois and Wisconsin.

Today the last status shows , "Dec 18th Madison Wisconsin, in-transit to next facility".

After USPS said there was nothing they could do and the seller said sorry not our problem.
She sent the tracking info to Paypal who refunded her money.

USPS should just be dissolved...

Eff'in useless unionized twats...


ETA:

Talk to the folks you are buying from. Have them ship via UPS or Fedex. It may cost a little extra, but at least you'll get what you ordered. I've had a couple folks that didn't want to, until it was going to cost them a sale...

USPS Sucks

Yes, yes it does.

Devils Advocate time.......... If you have prior experience with USPS being unreliable, then why did agree to ship the item via USPS?

Some lessons need to be relearned several times before they are actually "Learned".

Post office insurance is such a joke. By way of example, I've had overnight shipments delivered three weeks late and wanted the $20 back for the shipping cost. You go to the store, they tell you they can't process refunds there and you have to do it online. You go online, and the claim system would tell you to do it in the store. Never got one refunded, ever.

It has to be a friggen nightmare to get them to pay when you do lose something (like those grips). I'm sure it's all telephone runaround and deferring blame, probably costs $600 worth of work to get a $300 insurance payment.

"Other shoulder" : I can't remember the last time I've seen an online merchant give you a choice. I know some exist, I just haven't seen them. Significant majority just charges you a fee and doesn't even tell you how it will show up. And... it ends up being whatever they can make the best margin on, usually USPS. Aaaand, it doesn't show up.

USPS are liars and thieves. There is zero accountability with USPS, those pricks think they're doing us a favor, typical 'crats.

I FUCKING HATE USPS so much that I paid $12 to FedEx a letter.

Not sure where you are ordering stuff from but just about every vendor I ordered from gives me shipping options.

My biggest problem is I?m kind of a cheapskate so when the option is $8 for USPS or $15 for UPS or $21 for FedEx I have a hard time justifying paying the extra money.

Even if you request signature required, that no longer means anything in the age of COVID.

Dealing with USPS is as efficient and customer oriented as the federal government.

?Give us your hard earned dollars, but don?t go expecting anything useful from it.?

USPS UPS and FedEx all do not have guarentee on overnight at this time.

They all sucks.

Took FedEx express overnight priority 3 days.
