Any time I see a package is supposed to be delivered by USPS (United States Postal Service) I just consider it gone.

9/10 times it’s never shows up, or is lost, or is late. USPS is garbage and needs to be done away with.

99.9% of the mail we get anyway is junk mail ads garbage.

I’ve always thought it was odd how everything is supposed to be green now but no one has gone after the junk mail industry
Plus with identity theft being a huge issue how no one has stopped all the pre approved cc offers that are constantly mailed

USPS is garbage in your area because its staffed by garbage people who have no oversight and no consequences for poor performance.

USPS is fine in my area.

What we have is an oversight problem, not a concept issue. The entire nation is better off with a postal service, we just want one that is efficient and properly run.

When I tell my wife I am going to get the mail, I say I am going to get the recycling. So much of our mail goes straight into the bin.

USPS employs the worst of the worst in America. It's no wonder they suck at what they do.

I get a lot of transfers from FedEx to the USPS. It usually delays delivery by a day.

Id take USPS over FedEx. Ive had FedEx literally leave packages on the fricken curb. At least my mailman puts them on my porch and tries to hide them if theyre small enough.

For some reason, it always seems to be an Amazon package lost by USPS too. I order from a bunch of different places, and most smaller items still ship USPS and I can't remember any being lost. But half the items that Amazon (or the seller on Amazon) ships with USPS they are either very late or don't show up at all.

About 5 years ago I ordered some memory foam mattresses from Amazon. Two TwinXL sized mattresses. USPS left the missed delivery note in my mailbox, and the reason they checked that they couldn't deliver it was that it didn't fit in the mailbox. You think? A 4 foot tall box isn't going to fit in any mailbox. I called them to do the reschedule delivery option since I didn't want to drive across town to pick them up, and a couple of days later I get an identical notice in my box.

I contacted Amazon and told them apparently the postal service wasn't going to deliver these, and Amazon shipped replacements. I specifically asked for them to be shipped with Amazon or UPS, not the USPS. Of course they shipped the replacements with USPS as well. I get another notice in the box, same reason, and I had to drive out to the USPS distribution center to pick them up. When I arrived and handed them the ticket, she goes in the back and rolls out a cart with 4 mattress boxes on it. I tried to tell her I only wanted the two, and the original shipment can be returned. She just laughed at me and said they're not sending them back and that I could do that if I wanted to, but she was giving me all 4 boxes. I reached out to Amazon when I got back home and they told me to keep them.

UPS for me. USPS a distant second. I don’t even entertain businesses who only ship FedEx.

That website has existed for at least 15 years. I get no financial junk mail from any institution I don't already have an account with.

I've never had an issue with our post office.

Sounds like an overreaction on your part.

I can't remember the last Amazon package that USPS delivered to me. I know the post office gets shite on here a lot, but I've had much better service from them than from Fed Ex or UPS.

I have my city trash can right next to the mailbox. It never moves except by the trash man who empties it and puts it back

Its weird to me when I hear the constant complaints about the usps.


I've always had good service from them both in sending and receiving.
