USPS..maybe a record?

[46and2]

That is essentially saying that they screw up 1 out of every 5 deliveries. Unacceptable by a long shot.

How about "they completely screw up 20% of the time ".
If I blew 20% of my welds I'd be banned from the trade.

80 per cent of the time the USPS is pretty good - - -

It’s got real bits of panther in it….80% of the time it works every time….

I think that they recruited the new Press Secretary from the Post Office!

I have had plenty of problems w/ the Brown Truck Gorilla's, so they all have problems. For the most part, the people they hire are indifferent in the way they handle pkgs. The respective companies let them get away w/ it, in the interest of efficiency.....

I defense of USPS, I have used them exclusively for my trigger deliveries for close to 20yrs. The only snafu was during the peak of covid, and everyone experienced that. My deliveries other wise have been hot straight and normal. OH BTW, I have the best carrier on the planet. LDS

Funny thing is, I believe the rates are to increase in June

So a rate increase to compensate for USPS’s mismanagement and incompetence and the massive rise in fuel cost do to the brain dead potato Biden.

I see it as a free time capsule; just imaging how excited when it arrives!

That or they're keeping those porch pir8s guessing...

Im in NM, post office is one of the select few groups in the lower 48 that knows we're a state; I've got no arguments with them yet.

[Pawnee Bill]

And I thought I was the only one that that happened to!!!!!!!!!

 

[drop_point]

I had ordered something from Midway USA, which is about 3 hours from me and in-state. The order saw five states and 10 days before it got to me.

There are six postal unions, hard for them to fire a postal employee!

If someone can't speak English, read a computer screen, can't get along with others, they get extra points in getting hired by the PO! One bad Postal employee can screw up an entire town!

Customer Service may no longer be in the job description.
“No Comprende Bubba” is now a valid politically correct substitute for “no wanna do it Sucka.”

I sent a package to a forum member, USPS 3 day priority mail on may 6th. It got there on the 17th.

 

[gkgeiger]

I had a part in a Medium Flat rate box but decided to put it in a smaller box thinking it might be cheaper. It turned out to be more that double. The nice lady at the PO said if it's over 2# use flat rate if you can.

Scope I bought shipping on May 5th from Missouri to Hamilton,MT.Leaves MO,goes to Kansas,back to MO,back to Kansas.Then to Billings,back to Kansas,back to MO.Then to Kansas,then to Billings.

I had a package do something like that, this past year. Kept going back and forth between the origin and destination towns, but took (IIRC) five hops before arriving. Of course, days late, the system informed me the package was "arriving late" but it seemingly had lost track of where in the system it was. As though the various stops since the last oopsie were too silly to post in their system. Don't know. But it eventually got there.

Strange, how a system with automated routing mechanisms throughout can automatically send a package to temporary oblivion. Can't imagine the programmer who coded that part of the system in that manner. (Spanky was out to lunch, that day, along with the quality control group evaluating the viability of such code, whatever else can be said.)

This morning, 13 lb of powder was 6 miles away, preparing for delivery.

A few hours later it had a "sortation error" and it is 100 miles away,,.......,

I guess New Braunfels, Texas is one of the anamolies. Never had any USPS issues until thieves broke into every one of the many central mail boxes in our neighborhood and new ones were 6 weeks to get installed. The new owners of our house are still having to go the post office and pick up their mail. I'm not sure how the mail service for our new full time RV life will work out though. The upside is we have cubic space restrictions so we won't be buying as much stuff!

 

[gunsandgunsmithing]

Far, far, far from a record...unfortunately

 

[SecondsCount]

I still haven't seen the Brownells order that supposedly was delivered to my home via Fedex last Wednesday.

Over the weekend, I reached out to Brownells via email, got a canned response that they would get back to me , and have heard nothing since. I have a feeling that they are pretty slammed with this kind of stuff right now.

Well, the package was delivered after all. I was walking past the bushes on the front side of my house last night and something caught my eye. It was a white padded envelope that FedEx had thrown in the bushes. It contained the items I had purchased from Brownells.

I emailed Brownells and told them to call off the dogs, my package had been found.

 

[SShooterZ]

I’ve ordered some AR parts from Brownells, Amazon, PSA and LaRue in the last few weeks. Even bought some here. Everything has arrived as expected and within a reasonable timeframe. Lucky I guess.

 

[gunsandgunsmithing]

Not gonna defend usps for making mistakes but I wonder how long this thread would be if all post about that time they got it right.
