  • Don't use USPS guys...

    I've always used them for everything. I dealt with the long lines, old people in line, rude staff, over priced shipping, etc.... Because it was convenient. I've never really had a problem, other than what's listed above.

    A guy in MA sent out a package for some stunt gear for my bike. Good amount of money I spent on this. I had been tracking it, seeing where it was. The day it was scheduled to arrive, I check the status and it says that it was forwarded to the US Mail recovery center in Georgia... That makes a lot of sense, a package that was sent to Detroit was forwarded across the country.

    I called but dealt with very loud very rude women. I got hung up on twice. I was having a hard time comprehending that something I paid over $100 for was not readable by them (they damaged the box to where they couldn't read where it was heading), so they just send it to a center to auction it off.

    Yes, they auction things off that YOU paid for, and profit from it.

    So I call again and talk to another person who tells me I have to write a detailed letter describing what was in the package. So I do it. I write a full page, and include 3 big pictures of exactly what was in the box. I also included where it was coming from, where it was going, the tracking number for the package, etc... I put my cell number in the letter and asked them to call me when they got the letter, and I received no call.

    It's been two weeks and I have received nothing from them. They took something I paid for, wrecked the label, and auctioned it off for their own profits. I'm disgusted, and I will never use them again. The fishy part is, delivery confirmation and tracking was on it, so it had a barcode, the address it was to be delivered to should have been in electronic form as well.

    Use UPS guys. I used them for the first time today (staples right by the post office has one.)

    I shipped my PCM to madz28 for $9.50, with free $100 insurance, and free tracking, etc... With this, I feel pretty safe. 10 bucks, two days delivery time, I can track it, and if they lose it, I get $100 for an OBDII PCM.

    The post office is a joke, try not to use them. And when you have a problem, don't even bother calling, you'll get nowhere.

    I stopped using the post office a long time ago for some of those very reasons. It's a dinosaur. Unwilling to change with the times, and some of the rudest people in the world seem to work at most of the post offices I went to. I use FedEx or UPS. FedEx tends to be a little cheaper for shipping items out. At least in my experience. Either way, it's piece of mind.

        You got that right. They are without a doubt the rudest poeple I've ever dealt with. If I was as miserable as most of the people working at the pist office (not a typo), I'd stick a gun in my mouth. And the thing is, they have to litterally go postal to get fired and they know it.

          Im a shipping manager and I absolutely love UPS. I have to place claims and track over 200 packages a day and they are great. Its even better our company has an account because we ship so much. So when I order something online I can use our account to have it shipped quicker and expedite the shipment. Its awesome. I have used USPS once, no problems but indeed its not reliable like UPS is. When UPS losses it or something. They pay for it no questions asked. Sorry to hear Raro.

              UPS is a private concern.

              USPS is a quasi-governmental concern.

              Remember this post when someone says they want the government to provide national health insurance.

                  That blows dude. I've had to deal with them a couple of times and was very dissatisfied this last time with my latest retune from PCMForLess. UPS...won't even touch them. I've gotten such horrible service from them I refuse to use them. DHL all the way. They cost less, have better service and deliver pretty stinkin' quick.

                            This last Spring I sent a buddy of mine who lives in Washington a $25.00 gas card. 2 weeks go by and he never got it. So I sent him another one only this time I had delivery confirmation and a tracking #. What do you know? It got there in 2 days..
