Shipping Calls

[EZ]

I have come to the point where I will not use USPS to ship my calls anywhere south of Virginia. I hate to add the extra cost of using UPS or FedEx, but that's better than having calls disappear into the "Great Abyss".

USPS has gotten so bad that I have no choice. Hope everyone can understand.

Thanks,
EZ

I don't see how you could have much of a choice. I had a package disappear since the 13th of February. Can't get any answers on what happened to it.

I can FULLY understand, brother !!

I am currently waiting on a call I bought from Orlando, FL.  It was mailed a week ago today.  Feb 24.   Tuesday, Feb 25 it arrived in Indianapolis.  Not sure why it woud even go there to come to west PA, but.....  Wed the 26th it left Indianapolis.  Yesterday afternoon, Mar 2nd it arrived at Indianapolis again.

I get the feeling I ain't gonna get this call.

I will say sometimes you will have no problems with USPS, BUT the majority of the time it is horrible getting anything shipped with USPS and you can go down to you local USPS office and complain and it just falls on death ear... 

So I agree I would rather have a call shipped UPS or FedX, but sometimes even from them the package is damaged...

We understand EZ ... all your hard work and they lose a call not acceptable IMO

Yes sir I don't blame you. Hopefully Gunnar's call isn't one of them. Tracking says it was expected to be here today but the actual tracking says in transit to destination. I agree, USPS has been horrible the past year or so.

I have a call coming from Arkansas straight north to iowa and somehow it ended up in Indianapolis twice now they say it's in Chicago. Hard to say where stuff will end up these days.

EZ I totally understand, I'm still looking for things that were sent 2 weeks ago!
Their tracking system isn't much better. I checked on my shipments and each day  for 5 days they told me something different.  One day their tracking system told me my package left Louisiana headed towards Penna. The next day it was out in California, then Illinois, than at my local Post Office for 3 days until I went to the Post Office where I was told it hasn't left the Distribution Center yet and could be another 2 or 3 days before I received it. When I drove the 1 mile back to my house the mailman was standing on my porch with the package!

Tell your supplier the next time pack it in coffee grounds, it will get past the dogs easier and get to you sooner.

I lost a striker display last year and I was just shipping it a few hours away. Super frustrating!  Especially when you're spending all that time and detail on those calls.

I dont ship many calls but I have had terrible heartache getting my checks to the call maker. I've started using priority mail just so I can track the check itself.

It's bad everywhere I think, but you better hope it don't go through Memphis. We have had two packages sit there for weeks. Luckily both eventually arrived. I was in Memphis for a funeral last week where I saw a news article and they showed a warehouse full of pallet boxes overflowing with "lost" mail.

I'm glad you posted this EZ. I have been very frustrated with the Post Office and it started after COVID. Gone are the days when you could walk in and get great customer service. Now I get attitude from lazy  people. It's so bad they deliver packages at the bottom of my mailbox on the ground next to the road instead of driving down the lane and placing it on the porch. I've watched packages take a tour up and down the East Coast. You pay for a service and should get said service.

Time for the Postal Service to get a MAJOR overhaul!  Since they have added tracking, they either don't scan the packages, send them to the wrong States multiple times or they end up in the ABYSS as stated.  Please step in Mr. Trump and run this place like a Business not GovernMENTAL Welfare Program.

I ordered a stake puller for my traps back on December 22nd the Shipper used USPS and sent it on 12-26.  When it didn't arrive, I checked the tracking number, and it said it was delayed due to weather. Anyway, long story short it never arrived, and I could get no help from anyone at the post office so the shipper eventually filed a claim and was  reimbursed for the missing tool. Then low and behold it shows up at my house in GA last week two full months after being shipped from Michigan. They are beyond incompetent.
