The UPS is terrible

EDIT: I mean USPS. typo

I very rarely order stuff on the Internet, but I ended up buying something that I couldn’t find in a store near me, and it had shipped from only one state over (i’m on the East Coast in the Appalachian region near the Virginias) and when it was in a post office only about an hour away from me, it then got transfered out to St. Louis Missouri .... Naturally, that’s going to add at least a couple days to its delivery date. Maybe this is a fluke, and I don’t order enough to know, but if this is how they always operate, they need to make some serious changes. Not only an annoyance, but a serious waste of federal money

I've seen that same shit happen. Package is an hour away then all of a sudden it's in the next state over. The fuck are they doing

You're believing it was ever an hour away to begin with.

If it's not then the tracking system is garbage because I just go off that

Their tracking system is crap. It may have been at that office, it may not have been.

The whole system is nothing but diversity hires that don’t care.

Seriously, I haven't seen a white male USPS employee in years. And the young white females have leg hair, short bangs less than 1 inch long, and visible tattoos, sometimes facial piercings and neon dyed hair.

The post office that serves my neighborhood is considered the worst in the area.

Last time I was in there, there was someone from another office. She told me that I wasn't the first person there today complaining about misdelivered mail, and that she would tell the postmaster but they weren't there (apparently they leave early every day) and they wouldn't care anyway.

About 20 years ago I made sure that 99% of the important stuff was online. I don't bother even putting misdelivered stuff back in the box anymore. Credit cards, statements, packages for other people? All trash. They should know better at this point.

I had a package confirmed delivered that never showed up. I called the company and complained about it. The next day guess what shows up? The original package. The mail carrier had stolen it and simply claimed it had been delivered. IT REQUIRED A SIGNATURE, AND THE DELIVERY NOTICE CLAIMED I SIGNED FOR IT PERSONALLY! Did not happen. And do you think they got my signature when they actually delivered it? No, of course not.

Well, it was my new SIM card for my cellphone. When I reported that it hadn't been delivered even though the mail carrier lied about getting my signature they started the process to deactivate it. So it only worked for a few hours after I got it even though I called the company to tell them that the mail carrier had stolen it and lied about delivering it but then delivered it after both the company and I called the post office to complain. So I had to get online and contact the company explaining that they needed to reactivate the SIM card. But they have no process in place to do that, "to prevent fraud". So I had to wait over 2 weeks to get a new card. I was without a phone for over 2 weeks because the USPS employees stole my mail and committed mail fraud. Absolutely no consequences for the theif. He's a nigger.

No, that is how the USPS does things now. Guess they need most of their people online looking for sane people speaking the truth to report to the feds.

Umm.... Pretty sure you're talking about USPS. UPS are the brown guys, USPS deliver your mail.

You think USPS is bad. You obviously haven't had to deal with ontrac yet.

I’m really annoyed when I connect a UPS to a generator and it rejects the power source due to the TDS. I hate that. I’d be better off connecting a DC power supply to the generator and use an inverter to get clean AC. Fuck UPS’s.

A few months ago I moved 5000 miles. I shipped about 20 boxes, and 15 guitars, in cases. Everything arrived undamaged. I am still pleasantly shocked. USPS is alright by me.

I was waiting for some mail from a local government agency. It was mailed out the same day I spoke with someone on the phone. The post date shows that. It was sent from the local office downtown. The post mark shows hat. I live in the same district as downtown and the downtown post office is my local post office. It took nearly 2 weeks to be delivered to my home.
