And I thought USPS was bad

[Monty]

Ordered CA Monday from my supplier. He always ships the same day. When ordered and shipped on Monday, 99% of the time I get it on Thursday and 0.99% of the time on Friday. It's that 0.001% that gets me.
My current order went from California to Georgia and is currently in Jackson, Mississippi.[:0][:0][:0] Completely bypassed Houston. Now if it would only get frequent flier miles

Mannie are you sure its not going the "other" way around the world?

I was sent something USPS from PA to OH (maybe a 5 hour trip) and it took 8 days from the postmark to get to me.

A pigeon walking (not flying) would do it faster...[}]

Wasn't clear in my first post, the shipment was sent UPS not USPS. I was comparing the two.

Hey Mannie there was a UPS van just driven past my house, hope it isn`t on that one! lol [)]

Mannie,
I wouldn't mind the extra day or two delivery if our glue guy would be a little less sloppy when filling the bottles. Almost every shipment I get from him 2-4 bottles are stuck together and stuck to the side of the box. I know it is from when he fills the bottles because all of the bottles are full.

I had a CSUSA order shipped UPS that got lost in Iowa "due to the flood" a few weeks ago. CSUSA overnighted a replacement that UPS decided to hold up at their terminal - for no apparent reason. It took several phone calls to get it delivered. My next order from them I chose USPS - it got here in two days.

Hello Mannie
I mailed a piority box from here in portland to New York and it took 21 days to get there. How is that for service.

I have a package sitting at the Oklahoma City terminal (USPS) 2 hours away since the 26th for "Delay in delivery due to external factors", but no one seems to be able to tell me what the factor is. Had another box that was there with it that was delivered yesterday. They both left Ohio on the 21st.

I have an envelope in front of me right now (cleaning out office and found it) that is postmarked 11/28/06. Christmas card to a friend living about 3 hours away in same state. It has a yellow PO Box closed Return to Sender sticker on it dated 3/1/07. It showed back up in my mailbox 7/27/07. USPS at its finest.

Maybe the Post Office is one of the agencies expecting the "Obama Big Change" next year.

I avoid UPS at all costs. Where I live, they like to break everything,,,,,,,,,then ship it late.[]
