I've gotten deliveries from USPS where the original, not fit to travel alone, envelope was stuffed in to another one. Not often, but it's happened. Back in the 90s I was a vendor for FedEx and I had limited access to some of their systems. At that time it was still an IBM main frame so less than easy to navigate. I did happen to find a page where they auctioned off damaged packages to employees. Some of it damaged and they paid the claim, some just missing the address label so no clue where it was coming from or going to. Yeah, back in the dark ages before bar code stickers. It was a pretty long list then and I doubt it's gotten any shorter as the quality of their management has slid.

Our biggest issue with USPS is theft. We have documneted at leasr five packages that either disappeared entirely at the recieving post office or had the status changed while they looted the box. The post master does nothing.

In my experience USPS employees will rob you blind with no recourse. That said we only ship UPS.

I might send a check via regular mail lol.

Damn guyz ... i sure don’t send out 200 packages a day like big bux T&A does but I get quite a few media mail packages weekly by so called PONY EXPRESS! .. almost ROCKET SHIP delivery here !

If I were 103 id think 3 weeks was fast as well.

ANutter half baked response from pOrNo pOtO ...

I just got last week a DVD and cd bulk purchase mailing from northern Indiana.... pony express media mail ....

THREE DAYS ! ..

I'm in the process of moving. I ordered bubble wrap online. USPS took 3 1/2 weeks...

813 musta CHEAPED OUT and ordered it from China !

And I’m no super fan of the USPS ... waited in line yesterday at the PO ...

Talk to anyone who has worked in a UPS distro facility, and you'll find they're not much different regarding theft, and regarding the care with which they treat your packages.

Theft and lack of care at the USPS ?

No doubt ... that’s why their TRACKING SERVICE is useless.....

Go with insurance instead

UPS guy I know said the theft was through the roof every time iphones or game stations came out. Said they have a million cameras now.

I ordered something from Georgia. Shipped Priority Mail on the 4th headed to Michigan. I see tracking info that is was accepted on the 4th. Nothing else. I called the seller to chew his [censored]. I said do you know that I should have had that in a couple days according the majority of the guys on Moparts that said they received a Christmas card and a fruitcake from their grammy in 2 or 3days. It's the 11th. Still waiting. Must be an anomaly [rolling eyes].

Heres a recent 2-3 day Priority Mail from MI to TX.

Cod, I did cheap out . 10.00 for 30' at Wally World. 20.00 for 700' online. It was a no-brainer...

I got a package that was going to be delivered in Nebraska today and was tracking fine, now it says its in Las Vegas at there distribution center and this in RED.

Alert: USPS is experiencing unprecedented package increases and limited employee availability due to the impacts of COVID-19. We appreciate your patience and remain committed to delivering the holidays to you.

Sure blame it on COVID!

The

no NO pOto ... that package is suggesting you move to Vegas iNsTeAd of living in spudsville!

I have been having my share of issues with USPS and UPS as well. None so far with fed ex though

I had a box with a nos grille that was going to cost me $165 (60x13x15) 18 lbs to send out Monday and I was told probably 12-14 days priority, called ups for a pickup, $117 and 4days later the fella near Detroit got it today safe and unbroken.

I grew up outside of Detroit so I can honestly say nothing about that whole ghetto state would shock me.

FedEx here in the Detroit area is terrible. We have basically the FedEx version of a black hole. A hub in the city of Oak Park. It's nationally famous. Wife and I work 23-1/2hrs a day so we were getting Hello Fresh meals delivered for a couple years. In the spring of this year our meals started coming about a WEEK late. These have meat and vegetables in them. They were spoiled. After 3 weeks and 3 refunds from the Hello Fresh company I had to stop deliveries. Then I ordered a bed cover from a company maybe 40 miles away. I didn't have a couple hours to waste driving to the other side of town so I ordered one to be delivered. FedEx took 3 weeks!!!. Our regular delivery guy thought it was funny. Every day (after a week) he would say not today with a chuckle. Told me about stories of meal kits like the ones we were getting sitting around for a week while the workers laughed about it. Real funny.

I hate it for you and other business owners, me its just hobby/ebay junk and I think im done till the 1st of the year.

Its down right SCARY. We rely on these companies. I bet I fielded 20 calls MYSELF today, "where is my package". LUCKILY 99.99% of my customers are decent, level headed, hard working, understanding GREAT Mopar guys. I tell them the truth, deliveries are taking 10-14 days or longer. I even RESHIPPED a couple things, UPS, for guys that "had to have it", and told them to just refuse the first USPS shipment and it would, hopefully, be returned.

One guy on a USPS review site said he would leave negative reviews for companies that used USPS to ship stuff to him..........

I would give USPS 0/10 if I could. The bad service I e had especially over the past year has only gotten worse, if that’s even possible. The delivery time is the worst. What used to take 1-2 days now wonders around the US for 10-14 plus days. I actually had a package that I traced from Utah to my post office in Illinois and figured oh yeah I’m gonna get the package tomorrow didn’t and traced it to St. Louis and then to another couple of states before it got back to my post office in Illinois. Insane! The company I ordered from re-shipped the items and I receive them quicker than the original shipment. This isn’t because they’re on able to get packages delivered in a reasonable amount of time it’s because they’re just incompetent and don’t care. Their service is horrible. Now I can’t even get any tracking information until it’s ready to be delivered which can take 10 to 14 days from anywhere in the US. I'm going to start writing bad reviews about the companies that use USPS as their shipping provider. Choose a different shipper.

I still have not received the on-line pharmacy order my doctor called in on November 5th. The firm our company shipped it with sent it USPS. It was listed as delivered last Monday, then it changed to In Transit. It now claims to be out for delivery today - Saturday.

Since then, the doctor resent the scripts to my local pharmacy (out of pocket to me) and last night the company pharmacy partner just FedEx overnight a 20 day supply (which just arrived today - Saturday) -to hold me over. What a transportation nightmare the USPS is. Hell - we cannot even get our carrier to deliver all the mail to the right homes in our area. Every week, I either get a neighbor dropping things off or 40% of the mail has "Delivered to the Wrong Address" written on it.

What a S#!t S$0% they have going. You can complain to the post office, send in forms on their website - but nobody cares - things will never change for them.

Rob...I have a high dollar package that was supposed to be delivered on the 11th. I went to the PO and asked where it was and gave the postmaster the tracking number. Since Wednesday,it has been on rote to the next designation. I left a few nice words about the post office and went on my way.
