This season?

I have a package that was shipped from Knoxville, TN on Dec. 13th. After 10 days it has made it to Memphis, TN.

I’ve never seen a shirt walk on it’s own but I’m guessing my shirt is walking here.
Subtle “I don’t have to sew my own shirts” brag noted.

Amazon's delivery service has been great. Bezos really is going to take over the world.


Our neighborhood FB group lately has had 8-10 posts a day in which someone says Amazon says they delivered their package, but they didn't get it, or, someone posts that Amazon delivered a package to their house that wasn't theirs.

A couple of things...

1) If Amazon drops off a package to your house but the package has an address that isn't yours... just go bring it to them! Instead people post, "I have a package for 1234 Smith Street, can John Doe come get it?"

2) Several of the people who says they never got their packages, their Amazon tracking says the package was "left with receptionist". which is funny AF in a residential neighborhood.

She has made it known amongst her peer group that she’d be ecstatic with more in her “in box”, if you know what I mean.

I had a package coming to me in NOLA that was shipped from San Diego via USPS. After it didn't arrive for six days I checked the tracking and it was in Fargo, ND!

Double edge sword, or f you fill the box it will expand to accommodate more...which you can’t provide. Is it best to slightly under fill the box?

As a former employee, UPS is the GOAT.

Our mailman is like clockwork, arriving within 15 minutes of a certain time every day but Sunday. Like I said in another thread, I saw one USPS deliverer working the other day at 6:15 in the morning.
Do you suppose, Friend, that frustrated people across the 50 states are only making up their complaints. Or that your particular mail carrier is not an exception, rather than the rule?

And is you want billions more $$$ for usps in the Stimulus Bill, why not petition your “friends” in Congress to drop the billions and billions of $$$ in “relief”mto foreign nations, in favor of relief within our own nation, people, and institutions?

ive had a package sitting with the post office since the 7th, its a christmas gift too so its not getting here. Ive heard hundreds of people complain about lost packages with the post office right now. and a couple of complaints with fedex. I only had one fedex package come one day late, everything else was fine. zero issue with ups and ive shipped thousands of packages with ups this month

A package that shipped right after Thanksgiving arrived yesterday. It was sitting in a USPS facility for a month.

USPS blows.

Use UPS and FEDEX if you need it to actually get there on time.

I bought a few O2 sensors from RockAuto on 12/10.

Shipped next day. Scheduled to arrive 12/14/20.

Delayed to 12/18.

Last update on 12/22 was “in transit and will be later”.

How is that good customer service??

Yep. Been 25 days since last update from Indiana.

It was part of my kids gift. I called the company. They said they have over 200+ items just like that. They said COVID quarantines at the postal service are the reason. Manpower reduced significantly.

I asked why then are they continuing with the USPS.

A buddy ordered the same thing from another company shipping UPS and got it in 4 days.

Sucks. It was part of the kids Christmas present.

Placed order 11/27.

Store is only four miles from house, but I didn't want to deal with crowds. Free shipping on 2 items.

USPS took possession 12/1. Packages were lost.

Had to get refund and go to the damn store anyway.

Merry Christmas.
