Re: Just Venting....USPS Priority Mail
 

I actually get better service, for less money, than UPS or Fed Ex ground. No complaints from me.

Re: Just Venting....USPS Priority Mail
 

While I wouldn't say better I have found usps priority to usually be very prompt at a great price point. I also have no complaints.

Re: Just Venting....USPS Priority Mail
 

Sorry to hear that John.
I guess I have just been lucky USPS has always been good for me.

Re: Just Venting....USPS Priority Mail
 

I am the very lucky recipient of the errant package and I can tell you it was well worth the short wait. :tu

John, you are the greatest!!!

Merry Christmas everyone.

You want him to pay off some government employees or something? :ss

Re: Just Venting....USPS Priority Mail
 

Never had an issue with USPS Priority from this end. Packages usually arrive sooner than expected. :tu

My bigger gripe is paying for shipping Priority Mail on purchases and then watching the shipper wait for 3-5 days to get it in the mail. Why bother? :confused:

Re: Just Venting....USPS Priority Mail
 

I have to agree with you. I pay $5.65 with delivery confirmation almost every time I mail cigars out. They usually arrive within 3 days as well! Not bad IMO. I pay for DC# for my peace of mind more than anyone else. This way, I know it was delivered.

Re: Just Venting....USPS Priority Mail
 

I agree at this time of the year it has to be poor at best. I just got 2 boxes of tat tubes from NH to NJ and it took 6 days. When not in season they offer great service and can get packages in 2 days even from TX. I think at this time of the year you need to send UPS or Fed Ex they seem to be the only ones that dont have a slow down and work there employees to death to get stuff all over in the same time fashion no mater when.

Re: Just Venting....USPS Priority Mail
 

Totally uncalled for. If you have such a problem with the gov't, why don't you find another one.

Re: Just Venting....USPS Priority Mail
 

The Postal Service has a pretty good network set up for handling Priority Mail 11 months out of the year. In December, they throw all that out the window and totally change the way the packages are sorted at the window units (post offices) and plants in an effort to reduce overtime. Creates too much confusion to be effective IMO.

Re: Just Venting....USPS Priority Mail
 

:confused::confused::confused: I guess Postal employees aren't real people.

Re: Just Venting....USPS Priority Mail
 

:tpd: Me too!

Re: Just Venting....USPS Priority Mail
 

I've had very good service from USPS this season. One day delivery in the same zone. Several packages sent Coast to Coast in 3 days.

Have had some bad luck this year as well. One pass with several hundred dollars in CC's lost and another package lost as well.

But overall those Postal workers are some of the hardest working people in the business. Cant imagine trying to deliver packages after last weekends blizzard.
Kudos to all the postal employees. :tu

Re: Just Venting....USPS Priority Mail
 

Yes it does get crazy this time of year for us. We get a 1000% increase in letters and packages for about 2 weeks. The USPS does change the way they do things in December. They hire casual or temp employees for 21 days to make up for the extra mail. I for one don't like this as most of the time they don't know a thing. So we do our best and as always management runs around with heads cut off in December.
