The US postal service is an absolute joke.

I just thought I would throw that out there. They piss me off. I have regular scheduled delivery of large packages and somehow they manage to fuck everything up. Every damn time. I end up having to chase down the carrier to get my stuff of get it at the post office before they leave with it.

yep.. they even will pick your stuff up from your dang house for free
they beat the shit out of both UPS and FedEx. FedEx is alright for really large/heavy stuff - its a bit cheaper than USPS sometimes in that case. But I hate going to FedEx its a fuckin' pain in the ass.
USPS is the shit for a business that mails lots of items daily
That said, they have gotten a bit shitty towards their employees in recent years. Super overworked, and most new hires are like temp workers that don't get all the benefits of actual employees.

It's not a good deal if you have to chase down the lazy carrier because he couldn't be bothered to deliver your package to the door like hes supposed to when it's a Cash On Delivery package.

I love USPS. I've been mailing shit all over the world for the last five years as a part of my business. I've never had a single lost or damaged package.
The USPS is also financially extremely successful, most people don't realize this.

Do you do COD shipments? That's where you buy something online and hand cash to the postal worker and they ship the money to whoever sold the something to you. I do COD every week and somehow they lose my packages, send it out for delivery when I request that it be held at the post office or vice versa.

Not even once. I have done plenty of money order sales though. My sales portal is all online. No store front. COD sounds like a mess though. That I guess is why don’t ship unless I’ve been paid.

Did you try making a complaint about the carrier? It's possible nobody else on the route has complained. A lot of people are out during the day, which is why they figure they can cut corners like this. Sometimes people will go to the news with footage that proves no delivery was attempted.
My mailman is pretty good, delivers the packages like he's supposed to. (Canada Post) But for sure some of them suck.

Yeah they don't do many COD packages and that's most likely why it's a mess. It just kinda upsets me that it gets fucked up every single time despite the fact that the people at the post office know me. They know these packages come and go every week. The people at the counter blame the guys in the back. I don't blame the cashiers for any of it and they get treated like shit all the time. I guess I'm just ranting and not as angry as I thought I was.

Anyway you can do not COD? Seems like it would solve your problems. I have received and sent thousands of packages in the past and have only lost one, maybe. I don’t remember. The worst that happened was I was selling sterilized substrate for mushrooms on eBay and some drug guys clearly ripped my package apart and took samples to test

You may be in luck. I have a guy who has two mini rigs worked out with me so I will be practicing the one seal on The joint /downstem and then will be makin em. I need to get it done before Christmas so if you want one I’ll count you in for the same price as him. It’s 90 for a rig with a righteous wag on the bottom and some silver fume inside the can/neck. I’ll you my PayPal.

While I understand the frustration, especially when you're at the wrong end of an error in a delivery (whether USPS, UPS, FedEx, etc.), you gotta realize how many packages and pieces of mail in this country alone are moving every single day
I think all 3 do a relatively good job but there are bound to be mistakes when you're talking about that many pieces moving daily
I just googled some stats and the US postal service moves a staggering 188 million pieces of first class mail a day. They process 20 million an hour (estimated). UPS handles an estimated 19 million packages a day. FedEx 13 mil.

It's about the actual employee not doing their job. Some of them deliver the package to the door like they're supposed to, and some just pretend they tried to deliver the package, figuring you probably aren't home and won't know the difference.

If you have a problem with a specific mail carrier, report them. USPS takes their shit seriously.

I used to work for UPS. COD was by far the thing that would cause the most disruption to my day. They shouldn’t even offer the service.

Yeah I realize how much mail they sort through. That isn't an excuse for fucking up every single package for the last 3 months unless it's an Amazon package. I live in a small town so they don't have as much mail to go through in a day as in cities where I have lived and had no issues. Amazon packages get delivered asap, correctly with zero error nut if it's from anyone else it's like they don't give a shit. They get all of my other mail just fine and on time. It is extremely frustrating.

Cash on delivery is a great option if you don't want a paper trail. That's why a lot of kratom vendors offer it. The issue the local carriers seem to have with it here is walking up to my door to give it to me. I live in a apartment and they are supposed to go up to your door to make the transaction. I caught 1 carrier leave with my package in his hand and no attempt to come to my apartment. When I asked what was up he said "I was gonna make you have to pick it up from the post office". It's their job to do it and whether they want to or not doesn't matter at all.
