hate usps? join me in here.....

[7spokenightmare]

omg... seriously hate the united states postal service. in the last 2 months, out of 8 deliveries, they have succesfully delivered 3 without complications. sometimes its my local office, sometimes in transit, or even at the source.... but they manage to misplace, forget about or delay my package somewhere.

there are a lot of good ecig companies out there with great customer service and product and i am ashamed to say that there are a lot of these that i will not buy from ever again because they dont offer any other shipping option.

im voting with my dollar. I WILL NOT buy ANYTHING FROM A COMPANY THAT USES USPS EXCLUSIVELY EVER AGAIN. i suggest all who have had issue with usps do the same.

if enough of us do this... then the companies that wish to retain the business will find an alternative shipping method

Good luck with that protest. So far, I've never seen a vendor that offers a choice beyone USPS. I'm sure there are some, but I haven't seen them.

All told, I've had more problems with UPS than the USPS. I'd rather take my chances with the post office and pay about 1/2 the amount.

I've never had a problem with the USPS when receiving a package. I sell stuff on Ebay for my work and have only had a handful of packages get lost. I figure I've sent over 7,000 packages through the post office as well.

I'm also not going to pay more for a slower service (ahem, UPS) either.

First class mail is terrible. I have virtually no problems with priority mail using delivery confirmation. I have mailed thousands of packages using that service. Never has one not been in the guaranteed time frame. First class is a different deal though. I wouldn't recommend that service for ANY purpose.

I've never had a good experience mailing anything.

USPS tracking is hit or miss. Ive had stuff show up before their tracking says its left a sorting house 5 states away.

Personally my man (or woman) I haven't yet had a problem with the USPS as far as delivering goes (knock on wood). Not just for PV stuff, but in general as far as priority/express mail goes. If it's one of those options, the USPS seems pretty dead on balls accurate. There are tracking numbers and the only place that didn't give me a tracking number was VaporBeast (I still love you guys a lot! ) and even then it was in my box in two days. I haven't actually checked into it, but I've assumed that a lot of these places are kinda DIY places that actually put stock into quality and so aren't like big conglomerates. That means using a dedicated UPS/FedEx type service would really put them over the ringer in terms of money allocation, so they use the trusty ol' USPS (or EMS if getting from China). It hasn't bothered me and makes sense. I'm sorry you have been having problems with them and I would strenuously suggest you go to your local Post Master and make him aware that your post person isn't doing their job correctly. Don't take it out on the awesome vendors we all depend on.

That is so true. Especially shipping and tracking orders for work.

I'd have to disagree. Perhaps it's just your local and regional USPS offices that have issues. The USPS in my area is terrific. I get packages on time every time. As John1952 mentioned I don't have these issues with UPS, but I've had these issues repeatedly with FedEx. At the end of the day, I think quality of services it not always the same across every region, I think different services deliver at different levels of quality based on each individual locality or region. Just like I can have a McDonald's that is awesome at one location and one that can't even put the burger on a cheeseburger (I actually had that happen one time)

Where I feel for your issues, I think it is most likely just the USPS in your area that is lacking.

I concur. When my father was having troubles getting mail at his house, he visited the Post Master post-haste (couldn't resist ) and got it straightened out. Not a problem since!

LulZ. Points for the pun

 

[Lundude]

I will take USPS any day over ups.Way quicker than any other service. I actually am bummed when I see it will be UPS

The USPS is like the mafia. Show the family respect and compliance.. a little trick I learned. Leave a slim Jim (wrapped of course) in your box at random times. It's like a pay off. If you do so your letters will be in a neat stack and your packages will smell of febreeze I kid you not. It's like some inside thing I really don't understand.

 

[Dandafixr]

I ordered some magnets about a month ago, apparently they had gotten stuck to something lost and found later and when i finally got them they look like they were on the front lines in ww2

 

[BHam]

Nice analogy

wow as many usps sucks threads as i see on here ( and MANY other forums) i didnt think i would start a love-in... seriously- google "usps sucks" and try to get to an irrelavent result or even run out of results before dying of old age.

that being said my local carrier is fine (now anyway). out of all the issues ive had.. only one was my local carrier and yeah i straightened them out and i think they now fear me....

but most have been other locations... a guy in oakland california sent my package to south carolina ( i live in tennessee)... there is a place in ny (whitestone) that sat on one of my packages for 52 hours before putting it in the processing center (in the same building it was dropped off at)... ive got another one in whitestone that is fixing to eventually be processed (when they feel like it) that will be late on the priority shipping i paid EXTRA for as of tomorrow....

there are several examples just in the last two weeks that i just gave of this companys ineptitude literally from one coast to the other.... but i digress...

maybe they just have it out for me... guess ill go buy some slim jims or something

 

[N rustica]

I don't hate any of them, though I liked usps better when I lived in florida. Now that I'm in new york, I don't get mail for days and then all of a sudden I get all my packages in one shot.

For my business parcels, I've used fedex ground for over 10 years, basically because they get it there cheaper and faster, although I need to pack fragiles very well with them, they are the roughest out of all three with my stuff. The OP is from tennessee, no chance you could be from the memphis area???.....an area which would likely be a depressed economy podunk if not for the big company headquartered there.

For some people who live in rural areas, USPS the only game in town. UPS and FEDEX should be required to serve everywhere USPS goes, even if it's only weekly or biweekly.

It's funny that V4L is commenting here on this thread. I wonder if they still put 30ml juice bottles in large priority envelopes with no bubble wrap/insulation. Then make a youtube video mocking anyone who complains about your shipping skills. Anything fragile, liquid or perishable by postal law should be marked and packed better than that. Why the hate? Would a little bubble wrap and scotch tape bite into your profit that much?

 

[sarqb]

i dont have any problems yet and i hope i dont i just ordered my v-mod at vapage i got the free shipping method does anybody know how long it takes usps to deliver on standard shipping?????
