I bought a vinyl album off ebay and it was shipped on 11/30 via USPS. I received it yesterday 12/19. It was lost stuck or whatever in Austin, Tx for 12 days. I used their online form to inquire what gives and I got a call within 3 hours form our local postoffice here in Fredericksburg, Tx. The lady was very friendly and sorry for my issue. She sent an email inquiry to Austin and I had the album in two days. It was damaged but not the fault of USPS. The seller shipped a vinyl album in just a plastic sleeve, not a cardboard mailer like every other album I have bought lately. I could not believe it. The album cover was a mess but the album itself seemed to survive. I was very pleased with the postal service.
Your shipping wrecks. USPS,FED-EX and UPS
Well the e-bay USPS shipping has fallen apart, and the e-bay Fed-Ex is not much better......A 4000.00 CD player missing for 20 days by USPS, A box of 50 fuses , says delivered , but nobody knows where ???..........2 cartridges and a headshell...delivered today, but nobody knows where ??........You put a tracking number in Fed-Ex all it says is late delivery, and never tells where it is.....So be careful with Christmas Presents..........The only way I can track USPS is go to the Post Office ans have them track it, if I track it all it says is late arrival......

it is heart breaking to watch Americans argue about this issue. A subsidised mail system in America would be a tremendous benefit to the manufacturing strength of the country. look at what Germany has done with DHL. some activities (mail distribution) can naturally be monopolistic and hence may fall under purview of Government operation. this is not communism. it's just sensible. |
UPS went on strike in the early 70's. One of our UPS drivers then went out and got a job with USPS. He finished his route the first day about 2pm. He was flooded with requests from virtually everyone there to slow down. Made USPS workers and management look bad. Accountability is a stretch in governmental bureaucracy. Must limit union influence in regard to job descriptions, assignments, terminations. Safety issues, yes. Compensation, of course. Cannot tie management's hands in regard to how they manage their most costly asset. |
