Has anyone used Vapor Authority? My uncle wants a couple backup Nauti's. FT won't let use pp for them, sent me bicoin (?). I declined.
In order to get around FT restrictions on products using only bitcoin is order something(nothing due to ship immediately) of equal value that pp will let you use. Then immediately cancel to order and click on gift cert for your refund. Then use the gc for the purchase you want.

That's what turned me off. A friend of mine has a Reuleaux rx200 and a rainbow Crown tank and he bristles when I refer to it as "Chris' girly mod."
A friend of mine is a welder for the railroad and pretty much the epitome of caveman. He recently sent me a pic of his new matching rainbow mod and tank. I replied "Cool. Does your vape shop offer vape gear for men?" He didn't appreciate my joke

Beware, Rant:

How in the hell does a package arrive at the PO, go out for delivery, then show up arriving at the PO for the first time the next day?

How lazy is a carrier? How lazy is the supervisor of said carrier?

I have bowel movements that are more dependable than a human freaking being. I have seen pet squirrels perform tasks with speed and precision.

I hear "we're over worked". We do our best....

I have no dog that's going to bite you. I ahve no hardships beyond your daily responsibilites. You have already scanned it, it weighs ounces. All of them together may weigh a pound. You drive a freaking matchbox truck that carries it for you. All you have to freaking do is put. It. In. The. Damn. Mailbox.

Furthermore, I'd rather you just flip me off and tell the truth then feed me the BS that passes for management speak within the USPS. I'd actually have a little respect for you.

Until then. Until I don't have packages in the rain sitting on top of a mailbox they'd fit in, until your tracking is actually tracking, until management grows a pair and is held accountable themselves, I will support the privatization of package delivery. Disband the USPS.

/Rant
my house is about a 2 acre drive from my mailbox. i will sit on my front porch waiting for the mail lady... she comes with in the same hour every day.... that snake... instead of driving to my house.. will leave a card in the mailbox that says... package undeliverable... the same note will say i have till the next day to pick it up or its being sent back. it aggravates the you know what out of me. I'm already waiting outside. I'm watching for her. I even will come out to the truck so she doesn't even have to get out... one time i decided to wait for her at the end of my driveway.. she drove right past me... so fast i couldn't even wave her down. She had my package.. it said out for delivery... i go to the mail box... and there's another dang card!

That is BLEEP!!! MAYBE there are reasons why it is referred to as "Going Postal"
So Does anyone have a GOOD experience with our USPS to help balance this out and lift our thoughts of them, anyone......or maybe we should all use UPS or FedX

Sorry, I got nuttin.....apparently the option to purchase only appears on certain members pages and I guess I am not one of them. The question was posed several months ago, and no one could figure out why some members had that option and some did not. Guess it is just pick and choose from FT as to whom has it? I see all of the gc that I have gotten from when I cancel a purchase and from rebate points, but that it all I see.

I like my mailman. He might get the unimportant mail mixed up sometimes, but my packages are always on time. If they don't fit in the box, he drives up to the house. If I don't hear him honk, he puts it in the back of my truck. During the holidays he was working til way up in the night to get the mail out. They were shorthanded because the part-tme people don't last. He reassured me that a lot of people get a high volume of packages, it's not just me, lol. Sometimes I feel like I should bake him some cookies or something.

Look, I agree that this year USPS has done a terrible job of getting us the stuff we order. I am more upset with it just getting into the country and across it than I am with my carriers. I found out a long time ago, that if I made the effort to say hi and be nice to them, it stands out and they remember you. Plus it seems when they remember you -(for the right reasons)you get better service. Once when my package was delivered to the wrong address, I went to the po to inquire. He actually stopped what he was doing(in the middle of the day) to find it and hand deliver it.(He was out delivering mail).

So the moral is if you give piss and vinegar, you will get piss and vinegar. just saying....

Our mail lady is great. She is not the problem. My problem is from wherever my China mail enters the USPS system. Never used to have this problem. Frustrating but at least the packages do get delivered.
Thanks @SupplyDaddy for the gift certificate tip, will try that tomorrow.
jf, get the dog.

I've found that when I fail at doing a job I'm paid to do, I can be replaced by someone who doesn't need his .... patted to do what he was hired for.

To me it's pretty simple.
Your hired to do a task. When you took the job you agreed to do that task for pay. Pretty simple.

Worked retail nearly all my life. I've been ...... on, cussed, and threatened. Still did my job.

Participation awards should never be paychecks.

Guessing that means No

How about ALL of the delivering co. have rules so many rules that they force employees to act out these terrible circumstances. All of the complaints are happening everywhere, well here too anyway you are not alone.

My experiences with UPS and FedEx have been worse than with USPS. Edit: And those amazon delivery people never ring the bell and I live in a high package theft area

Yes My experiences with UPS and FedX are worse than the USPS too!
Hey DHL they have delivered here a couple of times and they were on time and he knocked and it was my package maybe DHL.

Completely agree. I always go out of my way to keep postal employees on my side. Even take them juice.
