I am pretty sure in the fine print it says they don't give a (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) and there is nothing you can do about it. I remember back when I used to pay my credit card monthly statement with a check, the check only had to travel 3 hours of drive time to the bank. One month I got charged a late fee because they said my payment was late. I had sent the check almost 7 days before the due date. I walked into the Post Office and asked where to apply for reimbursement for my late fee, they just laughed. I didn't. The bank did drop the fee when I told them how incompetent the USPS is.

Yep you pay for a service you don't get and its tough luck if it was any regular business the government would be going after them! Oh the irony is not lost.

No sense paying for faster shipping, the cheapest rate goes into the same truck or plane cargo and shows up about the same time...usually. lol

I guess its like breathing smoke filled air, because its all we have or we think its all we have. Fedex and UPS is a close second at times.

Talk to someone at the postal service. I had one doing a circle, and they got it to go to the right place.


Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

Used USPS for first time in years. Only shipper seller offered and tracker showed it sat in one location 8 days. Most sellers have quit using USPS because of there incompetence. My bet is there package shipping is down 80%. People working there could care less.

USPS, are a complete waste of time, anymore. 3 day delivery, maybe 7days, There tracking system, complete waste of time. Especially there automated, site, it's like listening to the radio, in your vehicle. Not going to help unless you want to order stamps. Ask USPS, hey paid for faster delivery, and all I get is don't know, should respond don't care, I'm only here to get my check. I try to use UPS, or Fed EX, and pay the extra dollars, for prompt delivery of 3/4 days. I avoid sales, that don't offer UPS, FedEX. Being a vet and having my meds, mailed on refills, was nightmare. Went to a meeting for Vets, that Sen. Josh Hawley, had helped wake the VA, on this issue, not perfect, but getting some better. Mail letter to next town, 12 miles away 7/8 days, and the letter is picked up and that truck stops, in that next town, on the way to where ever it goes.

Been upgrading the lighting in my metal building I can’t get the bulbs I need locally so I ordered them online most local bulbs are residential focused I needed commercial quality lights. Out of 4 orders 3 were damaged when they arrived all were shipped with FedEx the last order took 5 days longe then promised was not tracked for several days and 3 out of 4 bulbs were broken.

The box was open the driver knew the order was damaged and still tried to slither away after dropping it off we refused it. Service is not what it used to be with any shipper now.

Ever wonder why the post office keeps raising postage? I know a guy who was a career postal worker. In his final year after serving 30ish years, his paid time off was over 150+ days, thats almost half a year off paid!

I use USPS to ship product on almost a daily basis. I would rather use UPS or FedEx but can't because of cost and locality. I have a business account with UPS, but it does nothing for me because I don't ship the volume needed to make it cost effective. I'm, therefore, stuck with USPS and its bureaucratic nightmare, which is getting worse.

Pirate shipping gets me a better price with UPS and the PO without the volume needed, I have a drop off place in town that takes UPS packages. My local PO is a joke they find ways to not deliver the mail like they are a huge hub it’s a darn mobile home looking building. The last excuse was a Christmas card with my old address was sent back because a substitute worker would not know what slot it needed to go in. In the time they spent screwing around the same person could have just dropped in the right slot and delivered it.
