Shipping Calls

[tal]

 They just stole $220 in a sealed envelope out of a Priority Mail envelope and charged me for delivering the empty envelope! They then cancelled my complaint due to the snowy weather. When I told them it was a theft and had nothing to do with the weather they informed me the complaint was cancelled anyway. It's a Keystone Cops movie.
 I just ordered a call that has bypassed me and sent to New Jersey. I've had packages they marked "Delivered" given to an address about 2 hours away from me. It's not going to get better. My last couple of orders went UPS, and will from now on.
 They created an Inspector General office that is NOT the Postal Inspector, law enforcement. They will tell you you're talking to the inspector but it's the cover up crew, they refer everything back to the post office that stole it. They will not give out the numbers for the actual Postal Inspector.

No worries T. Your calls are worth the extra charge to ship....

I got a notice the other day that a package was "delivery attempted" at 2:41 a.m. and nobody was around to sign for it so it was returned to sender.
Just out of curiosity, I drove to the post office and asked if they had it. He turned around and immediately handed it to me as if he expected me to show up.
I asked about the attempted delivery and he just laughed and said nobody is delivering packages at that hour.
If I didn't go looking for it who knows what would have happened?

Glad to pay the difference and get my call.  I am waiting for a call that was shipped from Louisiana on February 18th that is now in Los Angeles, Ca instead of Memphis, TN.  I am not a geography savant by any means but I don't think that was the best route.

I have certainly had issues with USPS, but I just had a package lost by UPS and trying to get anyone to help was a lost cause too. Seems to be pot-luck with deliveries these days.

I'm afraid my beautiful Kevin Dorsey trumpet from the NWTF Nationals is now in that great abyss known as Atlanta. How sad!

Gosh, I hope that call turns up!  Or maybe it'l alter the life direction of a postal worker?!  I have lately noticed items being stuck for a while with no updates from usps.  Can't say for sure that the other shippers are more reliable though...

Shipping nowadays seems to be a gamble. I've had UPS deliver stuff for me to my neighbor's house and have had his stuff come here. I gave him his items but he hasn't done the same for me. The reason I know where it went was I saw the truck pull away from there and know in m y heart they did that. Right now, I am expecting an item I purchased from a member here. It was shipped a week ago by USPS. He gave me a tracking number but the site doesn't give any updates. I'm really unsure what to do next. It obviously isn't his fault so I will give it more time.

My grandfather would be spinning in his grave right now. He retired from the post office in the late 60's and held the belief that if you dropped a letter in any mailbox in the US before non today; it should be delivered tomorrow...and it normally was. Now we have all this technology and can't get it done in a week.

Tony I don't blame you at all. The USPS has done nothing but continue downhill for the last five years. As of late it's a problem not knowing if you will ever get the package that you paid for or if the package you sent will make it to its destination. They use our tax dollars to upgrade the system and keep throwing money at the problems they don't know how to fix. They also lost the contracts with Fedex and UPS for moving their packages around the country and the USPS doesn't know how to move it themselves. God only knows how this will play out but like you I'll go a different route as I've lost hope in the PO.

I wouldn't have answered the door at 2:41 am either.  Now we ALL know why USPS is so messed up, they are getting their Days and Nights mixed up.  LOL!

Order something on Feb 28 they shipped it right out and as of now NO updates after Mar 2 ... Good old USPS

The last 2 calls I got were in usps purgatory for 10 days. Tracking said the package was in Ohio the day it showed up at my door. The boss at the usps store I use told me the tracking is not that accurate because they scan the container and not the actual package.

That should have been a 2-3 day trip not 10.

I had a call sent to me last week from Texas via ups and it showed up a day early.

Hope it works better for you but I do not feel UPS and FedEx has been much better. I am waiting on a package now that was shipped UPS that was supposed to be delivered yesterday and has not updated the shipping in a few days.

The USPS processing center in Jackson MS is terrible. They lose packages. Send them to wrong places and they come back or they sit in that center for up to a week sometimes. Unfortunately, all my packages go there and then to my local Post Office

I used to have a UPS driver who since retired, a dire hard turkey hunter himself, who apparently had some 'sixth sense' about what was inside my packages...only those boxes containing turkey calls showed up re-taped like a 6 year old did it, and days and days late.  

Ordered a shot timer from West Virginia the other week, border state. UPS shipped it WV to VA to PA to OH to IL to OH to PA.
