The usps is the cheapest way to ship products the service is the best you can get for the price. when using fed x or ups the shipping will cost as much as the e liquid you ordered. then you will be crying please send it through the post office. We are trying to save a buck here and there. i'm not a big post office fan but as for me and there service i feel they are GREAT.
Stop crying about the usps

Even though there are some problems with USPS, for me they are better than FedEx. FedEx will usually declare my package as undeliverable. They just do not want to drive to my house which is very rural and back on a few dirt roads. So USPS is much better.
Well im glad you feel there " GREAT " .. Some of us however do not share your opinions.
So as per yer title... Stop whining about people who dont like the usps.. We all have opinions.

I have the exact same problem...USPS and UPS will deliver to my door, FedEx won't cause I am back up in the deep woods and they are SKEEEERED!!!!!!

try to get something mailed First Class from UPS or Fed Ex... imo USPS is a functional cultural American institution, provides a service that operates in the black, without tax funds, and is an example of a good government.
I use USPS as much as possible for one simple reason. Thet have a lot of vets working for them, and as I have epilepsy, and pugilistic dementia from boxing the service could never except me, even under a draft. I owe these boys a tremendose amount. I don't agree with all wars, but these boys do soooo much more than should ever be asked of anyone. If my use of the postal service employs people of exceptional valore than then get my buck, understanding, and patience.
I have to say. I have used their priority service heavily for years and have never had even one package not make it within the gauranteed time. In most cases it's much faster then that. Usually anywhere in the country is 2-4 days. I don't use first class at all. It's not a gauranteed service.
With my last two experiences I'm more concerned about my package arriving at the right address. When you buy a nice new mod you shouldn't have to concern yourself as to whether your package is going to be lost as I have been the past few deliveries. When I look at buying a new Buzz and I get free shipping via USPS instead of being happy I cringe....that isn't right. We all obviously have had different experiences though.

Are they skeeeered of the deep woods or you, madjack?
I must admit that I use USPS every day except Sunday for my business. I can not deliver an invoice to a customer for 44 cents and they can not bring me a check for 44 cents. Until something can replace that, I need the USPS. Yes, I do some transactions online, but not all. And small packages are perfect for USPS but larger ones go UPS.
Actually the reason for the budget cuts in the USPS is Congress screwed them. Was reading that they started loosing money becuase Congress said they have to provide a retirement account for employees for 70 years. Leave it to the jokers in Congress to screw up the only government organization that was making money on it's own, without collecting tax payer money.... It still is the cheapest and most efficient way to send a package in the US.
Also from what I hear it's a lot cheaper than the postal systems in other countries.
yea,,my local post office is turning off lights due to that budget cutting they have to deal with,,,service is still as good as ever and just as fast if not faster then ups or fed-ex...if you start adding up those ups fedex rates those couple bottles of juice start getting pretty dam expensive,,,PLAN AHEAD !!
third world countries postal is usually cheaper,,but stuff gets lost or takes forever ,,months not days
living in Alaska i always use usps and have never had a problem except for one item i bought from a member here,,,since he has not been active since then ,and he is not replying back,,,it looks like i got screwed over,,
That is not the fault of USPS !!!
It isn't as simple as saying "Congress screwed them.", and perhaps this is a matter for the "Outside" sub forum, but it is because in 2006 the lame duck Republican congress laid a ton of s__t bricks on USPS; they are to provide (pre-fundi) full funding for employees benefits for 75 years out; within 10 years! All their profit has to go there, and if they don't have a certain number of BILLIONS of dollars in profit each year to lay up for that, they are considered FAIL. No business ever has had that laid on them... Why? imo it's because they can't stand for a gov't agency to do well, and they want to privatize everything and run it through Wall St. It's the GOP agenda.
Not trying to start a fight; just stating the facts here as I know them.
Well I must be in the minority here. So far this month I had a package take an extra 2 days to get to my house because they sent it in the wrong direction and then reprocessed it at the wrong hub once again the next day. Then this week my tracking numbers are not working. They was working earlier but now they can't find the information. I used to be a system builder and ordered computer parts all the time. This was when all the companies used UPS and Fedex for all packages. It was great the tracking was 100% and in that two year period I never had a package not get tracked, lost, sent in the wrong direction, or damaged. USPS is a joke and I would gladly pay the extra to have UPS or Fedex deliver my goods. In the time that I was shipping with UPS/Fedex I never had to worry about my packages as I do now with USPS. Also I got a time critical letter via USPS yesterday that was Certified Mail. The date on the letter and postmark was Dec. 11. I got it just yesterday thanks USPS, so much for claiming that money I had 10 days to respond.

USPS always delivers the second day after my order ships in my experience. I've never had an order come in more than two days. Pretty impressive. Plus its super cheap.
My only issue is their tracking service is (or was) awful. Apparently one of my packages some time ago travelled backwards in time and was delivered to my house in 1999.
Recently when I go to track a package I'm sent to a completely different-looking page with an estimated delivery date and everything, though.

I've never had a problem with USPS. Yes, their online tracking kind of stinks, but I can live with that. I send all packages priority & they arrive in excellent shape & quickly. Always within the time allotted.
I've been vaping for a year now and in Hawaii you don't get any of the free ground shipping that UPS offers; NADA.
We pay a premium for everything here; all shipped in, and if I had to use UPS or FedEx, I'd be one sorry vaper.
I have bought a ton of vaping gear, often up to 3 or 4 purchases a week; all online, and rarely Priority, if I can help it, yeah like $2 or $3 a shot. None have gone lost, some came in a little late, the exception to the rule, and once in a while a dented package. How much accessories business would vendors do if they had to ship everything by private company I wonder.
We're not just talking packages when you talk about USPS. All my bills and many payments go back and forth. 49 cents goes a long way if you ask me.
I even get international packages USPS, and I can count on delivery of any PV to be delivered from just about anywhere thanks to USPS; and that's 6 days a week mind you.

So far the USPS has only delivered two of my packages to the neighbors. Fortunately, they were nice enough to bring them to me. They thought it was some kind of medication. LOL, I told them it was. Maybe the syringe made them think that.
I am currently waiting 10 days on a package usps from copper creek. SO far the tracking last shows jan 8 leaving wi. No one knows where my package is. I wish they offered better tracking services so my package will actually show up. It pretty sad that a package with tracking is lost.
