I know why....government ran. In the last two weeks I have ordered two separate items online and both retailers shipped them via USPS. I tracked both items that they were held up for days with no updates on tracking. One of the items showed up to my door and the tracking was not updated until the next day, stating it was still on the truck.

I received an email from USPS for the second package stating they made an attempt to deliver at 7:30 pm Thursday night.....no you did not. I responded to the email the deliver today and it was at my front door Saturday afternoon.

I order numerous items online every month. FedEx and UPS are always on track.....I really wish USPS would go under.

My experience is just the opposite. I use USPS almost weekly and never had a problem. Fed Ex has been inconsistent.

I buy stuff online daily and I find that USPS is better than both of these

if a package goes missing or is delayed there is an 80% chance it came via usps. i dont even know why they bother with their tracking feature. it's always messed up.

What? A government run organization doesn't run as efficiently nor as customer friendly as a private corporation?

But we're going to vote in a Democrat again for the President.

Lemme guess. You were waiting on either Jeep part or something from Kirkland's for your cookie cutter.

Sounds like you forgot to get your mail carrier a Christmas gift.

Is Newman your mailman? He rents space of a storage locker, may want to get tough with him.

Yeah, I think you're full of shite and this story is a lie. I have a brother and two friends that are USPS employees and they don't attempt deliveries at 7:30 at night. Doesn't happen. Maybe you added an extra "s" by accident and you meant UPS

Years ago, I had my transcript over night to a university via UPS. It got there two weeks later via Fed ex. Ups said they couldn't locate the address and I was in disbelief because they probably deliver hundreds of packages there every day. It took them 13 days or so to return it to the community college and the lady there personally paid for fed ex to deliver it over night because she felt bad for me. Bless her heart. I've also had Fed ex mess up too though. They all frick up from time to time, but that was my worst experience ever.

USPS lost 6 packages in 3 months for me. 4 finally showed up days later. I have so many case numbers with them. Never have I had an issue with UPS or fedex

USPS should have been privatized a long time ago.

USPS tracking or lack there of is the pits. I always cuss when an Amazon order is shipped this way. No tracking and sometimes late.

I can't believe USPS is getting so much love. They have fricked up my business several times in the last few months actually losing certified mail. Completely lost. Also had a check that sat in the back room because the dumbarse mail carrier forgot to log it in when it came from the mail branch. Finally after 5 days, they found it in the back room. Frick USPS sideways.

USPS is fine when they are in charge of the entire run but every time I have something delivered starting with FX/UPS/DHL and handed off to USPS it is always at least a day late.
