usps sucks

[graycie]

I'm on the fence with this one. I used to really like the postal service up until recently when I ordered a textbook online, and tracked it for two weeks for it to be eventually sent back to the seller. Other books by postal service arrived fine, but for now UPS for parcels and postal service for letters.

ups has done bad things to me many a time. They always seem to not deliver stuff till days later. Anyway, i like usps cuz its mad cheap, and cheap= good

[RRfireblade]

I use 'em all,and I've been suprised at how good USPS has been for me.I've had probs with them all BUT USPS and thier prices on most things are cheaper.I'm using them more and more now.

I always do USPS. They are cheaper and are way more convienant for me. If you look into it UPS, Fedex, Airborne and basically all carriers have lost packages from time to time. It's unfortunate but with mass volumes it is bound to happen. Tough break. Hope it was insured or at least had tracking confirmation.

i will never never and i repeat never ship anything ups again,

why, shipped $1000.00 onkyo reciever "had inspected for proper packing at the shipping center" bought a $20 insurance

they approved the item and said it was packed fine for shipping. the people i shipped it to reported damaged on delevery, "beat to death" and what does ups report back to me on the claim,

O, we will not cover they item due to improper packing,
and my local ups that approved the packing to begin with acted like they had no idea and said to me they never inspect a package when shipped so they could not have said it was packed right. I had took it to the corp. level and they were in fear of there jobs or somthing.

I battled with them for 6 months and i even talked to an lawyer, he said i might as well forget it because the cost would not justify it.

so UPS can .....haaa well u know what i mean
i researched the issue and they will due this 95% of the time

Like you said Ter-me-nate, good luck with a claim for damaged product with UPS, you will NEVER get you money back with them.
I got a VERY large shipment of paintball equipment and it looked like it had been dragged behind the truck the whole way and UPS would not even send someone out to look at it.
I had to eat the cost on that one.
Fedx or USPS ONLY from now on.

All I can say is I'll take UPS, Fed Ex or USPS over Air Ex. Air Ex. leaves packages in the hall of my apartment complex, guess how many times we've actually found them, twice out of like nine attempts. My roommate gets a lot of games from Microsoft Retail program and they all magically vanish. Seriously UPS and FedEx leave a note and you can either go get it or be there the next day.

Leaving stuff by the door of apartments in a college town is not cool.

I only ship Airborne Express, and all packages were recieved on time, never beat up, now i have had many, many problems with USPS, once with UPS, and FedEX is too exspensive. So i belive Airborne Express is the best way to go.
