USPS rant

The biggest issue I have had is WAY too many times I get someone else's mail or they get mine. Happens about every 2 weeks or so and of course all the other neighbors have this issue too.
I would like to know why every Saturday I get way less mail delivered. Is there something different on what is sorted or are the mail persons being lazy? I say mail persons because I never know which of the 5 people are going to deliver on any given day.

That reminds me that O-like kept sending me messages about not receiving the package back with that faulty green/red to yellow module that I sent back to them which I find ironic. It's exactly the way we feel waiting on their stuff to show up and not seeing any tracking with days ticking off until out of nowhere it shows up. They asked me to ask the post office about it when I was already told by them upon mailing that once it leaves the states you won't see anything on it. Welcome to how we all feel;)

When I did parcel loading near a place close to me , I was with a few other people , after working there for one day I understand why stuff gets broken .

"Loads parcels .... lets drop a 12kg parcel and a small card box "

Squished into nothing that resembled a box ....


I do remember when I ordered a SOX lamp ( just over 1 meter long ) , the seller tried to send the bulb "as is" with a label stuck to the actual glass bulb ......

I had issues where people will sent me a package and it got to my post office and said available for pickup. When asked they said it was to big for the mailbox which is true but they should just leave it by the door they had do with other packages that wont fit.

Sent a package to Israel once. Find it by my door the next day, and showing online as delivered!

Went to post office... oh well, we misread the label. :wtf: how do you misread the label, what with all the customs forms also stuck on there and having charged me $80 or so for it?

I get international mail delivered back to me same day or next all the time. It is crazy. I just toss them right back in the mail and they figure it out.
 
OMG, I'M ABOUT TO GO POSTAL ON THOSE IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The package returned to VA AGAIN. I submitted a case before and tried doing it again. It won't let me because there was a previous case that has been closed. I'm about to spend the **** $150 I don't have just so I can fix my phone rather than use the old one I let my step-dad borrow for a while. This is beginning to be BS level 9000+.

And I thought I had issues dealing with a witch of a woman running the front desk at my local P.O. Feel for ya Dr. Evil:(
 
The package arrived today. It took 13 days for something to travel the same distance I could drive in 8 hours.
 
Many many times, I've had packages arrive from California and Florida, faster than from Connecticut, Long Island, and once even Newark, which is literally a half hour drive for me with good traffic.
 
I wish they never got rid of the "local" slot at the PO so now all mail goes hundreds if not thousands of miles away to a main hub to just be sent all the way back 5 miles from your house. This sets up the chance of your mail/package be lost or taking way too long :/
 
The never got rid of it at my post office. Just the bin for it, so now it all falls into one behind the wall.
 
Had 2 packages sent wensday one came 2 days later and the other stopped updating

IE will like this one.

I sent a package to Indiana with tracking, about 1000 miles away. I check the tracking report. At 9:30am it said it was out for delivery. 30 minutes later it was delivered back to my door.

When I asked the PO how was this possible, they said, someone at a distribution center mistook the "from" address for the "to" address. They did offer to resend it at "no additional charge". How nice of them.

As for the erroneous tracking info? They said that was were it was supposed to be at that time.

So really once your package leaves a distribution center, they really don't know where it is until it's scanned at delivery.

Yay USPS Tracking....:D
