Good old usps

I'm trying to understand why USPS is sending a parcel 700 miles in the wrong direction. Them call customer service and waited over a hour before I gave up and hung up. Called the vender and it's the right address. I dunno. Just can't figure it out. Being a trucker I would have sent it the most direct route. Just venting. Get a little impatient sometimes. Everyone else having a great day?

UPS AND USPS brought me toys today. You don't hear ME complaining.

Rolex. I'm buying ups and fedex and renaming them fed-up lmao. I'd rather pay the extra cash to have my items shooed via ups or fedex or pluralator. They seem to move faster. But brokerage fees hurt my a$$.

USPS sends them to large distribution hubs just like the other major delivery services. My Christmas gift order went from California to New Jersey and then Ohio before going to Dallas. Thank you UPS.

I know that pain all to well!
Have you tried hobby hobby in Mississauga? They're pretty well stocked and have decent prices as well.
I'm assuming if you live close to Toronto you're only about an hour from Mississauga. Great hobbies is good too, a little more expensive and the customer service isn't as good. goo

Actually I got both my revo's from great hobby as well as my picco .26 and onyx 245 charger. I've never looked in to hobby hobby but I will now. Thanks for the tip bud!!

In my area, UPS has the best service of anyone around, period. Now, USPS is a very close second, and my mail lady kicks ass. Both of them will bring my packages all the way into the carport, in the dry to leave them for me. But, our USPS distro center is over an hour past me for things coming from the west coast. Doesn't matter, still goes there no matter what. Don't even ask me about Fed Sux.

I've had a few bad experiences with them. When I was in Japan, my family sent some Christmas gifts and when I opened the box, all of the gifts were unwrapped. I had initially thought Customs may have done it, but there was no notice and it wasn't done "professionally", the wrapping paper was just thrown in the box. I contacted my family and found out that a few things were missing, a few months later, they busted a group of workers at the military P.O. in California who were stealing from packages going to service members overseas.

Since moving to England, I've had packages get held up in Chicago and N.J. for over a month. On one of them, I had to have the Ebay seller contact the P.O., and they ended up sending it back to the seller. Now the USPS or the Military side messed up and the deliveries are all backed up, I am waiting on stuff that shipped over a month ago, but my wife got things that she ordered last Monday.

USPS has done fine by me also. What happens to me when I order stuff, can be blamed on Canada Post....or customs.

I ordered a bunch of stuff from the toyz in Seattle Washington, now instead of my parts coming to me they took a detour to Ontario for custom processing.....I happen to live in Alberta.

My boss had something mailed to his son across the US through USPS, and when his son wasn't there to accept delivery, they sent it back the very next day.

Not only did this huge box cost him 70 dollars to send the first time, they charged him another 70 dollars for the return trip before they would let him put his hands on it, and another 70 dollars to send it to his son again. They are terrible.


Funny story though, just last week I had an amazon package shipping UPS get transferred to the USPS for delivery. Double ya tee eff?

They do that a lot. It's cheaper for Amazon when they drop dozens of boxes at the P.O. for local mail delivery, than to stop at all those houses.
If no one is home, you can get it at the local P.O. the next day.

Well, I got something from the good ol' USPS that UPS had dropped to them. It looks like UPS used it as a chock-block for their truck (again). Nothing was missing which is good a it was the last of my Christmas gifts to be shipped.
