Another Mistake

I have been using USPS priority mail also for some time with no problems at all until now.
I shipped 6 flat rate boxes January 4. One made it to the west coast on time. Four boxes to the east coast were all 2 days late. One was bad and I refunded the buyer.
The sixth box is still floating someplace around this country. Checked the tracking before posting this and it doesn't show up anywhere.
Needless to say I will not be using USPS again until they get their act together!
Also I myself believe that a seller should refund or replace a product even if it is the shippers fault. It just good for future business. The seller should also ship with whatever shipper the buyer choose.

 

Obviously, USPS works in some parts of our country but not here are where you live in DE. I shipped a super huge state record mink to someone about six years ago and it has still not arrived. SO, no more usps for me. Fed EX works for some. UPS hasn't let me down yet except sometimes they get a little rough with the packages and that presents problems.!!

Sorry you had a bad experience, Earl. Hopefully your cat and grey will show up via ups tomorrow and take away some of your dismal attitude. ha

Hang in there!

 

My wife ordered some stuff from Wal-Mart.com 7 December 2020. The package (sent USPS) was stuck in Jacksonville, Florida from 11 December. Finally last week she contacted Wal-mart and they said the package was lost someplace in transit. They gave her a refund and the package arrived on 11 January. The tracking still says Jacksonville, Florida. She called Wal-Mart and told them she got it and offered to pay but they said just keep it and don't worry about it. It was only $20.19.

I have a couple things coming from Montana I purchased before Christmas. I told the seller to hold up until after the holidays and things returned to normal shipping.

Onto the original post, I have seen a previous posts about this seller so I put him on my permanent "Do not buy" from list long ago. His attitude would be enough to turn me off.

 

Earl what size cape you need i have some extra i would ship it for free!!!!! depends on what size you need let me know

 

Long before the holidays I switched from USPS to UPS. So far I am glad I did. Hopefully USPS will get their act together but I have my doubts.

 

Glad it all worked out for you. Those are awesome panels! Where do you get them?

 

usps is irreparably broken. we have swithched to fedex and so far...SO FAR.. everything has made it on time , or at least in time. I lost a $1,000 cat to mo 2 years ago. rotted, sent priority 2 day and took 11 days. insured, the works, took pictures, documented everything and appealed 3 times and never got a thing. the buyer and I split the loss. fairest thing to do when we both get the shaft and neither did anything wrong. luckily the buyer is asuper guy and easy to work with and we still do business.. thru fedex!

 

Here is two.

Let us know if the "Check in the mail" arrives.

 

Used UPS for over 20 years,recently switched to FED EX.They seem to be faster and less expensive.

 

I quit using USPS as well. I had a properly labeled box a year ago sent to Seattle which ended up in Hawaii! needless to say it spoiled. Another to the west coast -- properly labeled, and got caught up in what they called a "LOOP" back and forth from LA to some other city 3 times - it spoiled. HOWEVER, my local post office - NOT the USPS main office- did right by me and paid my insured rate. That said I quit using them.
Where I live, FedEx can not compete for some reason with UPS pricing they are always quite a bit more.

 

Had a customer send me a MO through usps about 3-4 weeks ago. I think we are both out of over $1000 unless it turns up. NEVER use usps for important things. Christmas cards is it for me and I have to mail them around Turkey Day.
