USPS, UPS, FEDEX-DELAYS ACROSS THE BOARD

Shipping is getting stupid expensive. I’m not going to ship big stuff like guns and scopes anymore. Everything will be face to face from now on or I will sell stuff at gun shows. I sold a scope on here and shipped it this past weekend. With insurance from Ohio to Texas via usps was $106.00
 
When the last sorry postmaster general screwed around ( doing as ordered) to delay mail in ballots --the whole show collapsed and has never recovered
Up until then I used USPS for business--it was great! Flat Rate boxes were a gift to business
Tracking now- is a joke--it simply works sometimes
remember--if you send a Postal MO send it certified--if lost they pay up on the spot--if not certified prepare to wait ...
 
I had a small package shipped (USPS) from NC to NY. Tracking showed that it landed in 3 mid-western states before it got back to the east coast. How does stuff like this happen?
 
My MeowMountain got lost I sent my Blue fur kitty out he made a call got it today,,, Tuuker was happy maybe she will quit watching youtube with me and lettin stinkers
 
I hate buying stuff in December that requires shipping but sometimes there’s no getting around it. At least here in Central NYS, UPS is tge best, USPS is hit and miss with some crazy routes and things that seem to enter a time warp. FedEx has been brutal as far as delivering to the wrong address but that seemed to get a little better now that the delivery people look like actual employees and not like someone on a prison release program.
 
I have shipped many scopes usps for 25.00 with ins it may not be the case anymore just got 8000 th jackets from an individual he sent usps had to take them out of the buckets to ship this time just to ship at a reasonable price luckily I had buckets to put them in
 
Just had a check for a revolver that I sold sit in the PGH USPS Distribution Center for three days. Supposed to be delivered today. We’ll see.
The check did arrive today. Talked with the buyer and decided to wait until after Christmas to ship. My FFL ships handguns via USPS because of cost. UPS requires next day air for handguns which is uber expensive.
 
the one out of the big 3 shippers that pisses me off is the usps. our tax dollars pay their wage 100%. not just this time of year do they suck at their jobs. it’s year round. if they can’t do their jobs they need replaced.
 
Shipping is double of what it should be. Why should a 3 day envelope cost $11 and almost any package shoebox size is $20 or more. Then you get a package from Walmart 2 ft x 3 ft x 2 ft for a purchase of 1 roll of masking tape costing $4?
 
Im not sure why some things happen like they do. I had a stop that I told dispatch needed to go a center out of spokane as they deliver the specific stop even tho its on the boundary border. Apparently our center sent it to the other center that night. We'll 2 days go by and I get those packages BACK on my truck again. I ended up taking them to the house not in my area.

Asked the night sup about them and he said the center they got sent to sent them back for whatever reason... as I said, no idea why but im sure it happens for no reason all the time all over.
