UPS and USPS are horrible!

My package is on the way they said, it'll be there by Monday Dec6........NOPE not here.......Now they say it'll be there by Dec7 by 9:00pm, it's 9:30pm and not here. UPS says it's in the hands of USPS!!!

What a bunch of crap! I hate both of them. 

Why is UPS using USPS anyway???:angry:

I am waiting on a package that was picked up in LA...this does not mean it is at a USPS shipping center. (In the fine print)

It was 'collected' Nov 11th!!!

Ridiculous!! It makes me feel like never ordering online again. I think I’ll go to a store from now on or Amazon because they at least they deliver they’re own stuff !

You have a package with an address on it, and also a return address on it. 

It gets "lost"...so where does it go? Another dimension? The Twilight Zone? An alternate universe? The third Heaven? A blackhole?

It is ending up somewhere....so....where?   

 

It is a solid object, has mass, and weight, so where does it go, when it is "lost"??? Are that many things being stolen?  That is difficult to believe.

Some are stolen, I am sure, and some are mis-delivered, and never returned to the rightful owner...but this many?

My youngest girl does Amazon.

Had other issues with them...they all have issues.

Sigh

Look at the Fed Ex contract driver, dumping packages in the ravine.

With Covid...they can 'sign' for you, that it was delivered!!!

I can honestly say I’ve never had a problem with Amazon but I don’t order that much from them! 
I don’t trust any of them anymore, from now on it’s the brick and mortar for me if at all possible!

I guess I’d have to disagree. I’ve sent a couple of checks back to the east coast in the last few weeks and they both arrived in about 4 days. UPS has shipped a number of firearms for me over the same time period and they all arrived earlier than expected in some cases and on time on the others. All of them arrived in great shape. There is a private contractor to Amazon that insisted on leaving packages down by the gate on a busy road and once I made it clear to him that leaving packages down there was a bad idea he started bringing them up to the house. I shipped a pair of Ruger Old Armies to Pennsylvania via USPS a couple of weeks ago and they got there early too. Do UPS and USPS screw up sometimes? Yes, they all do, but how often do you sing their praises when they do a good job?

This is the third time UPS slugged off their delivery to USPS and the last time it took them two weeks to find the package!! As far as I’m concerned they’re both unreliable! They’re supposed to do a good job so no praises when they actually do what they’re getting paid for!

Interesting story, a Cowboy in South Carolina is shipping a long Gun and 2 pistols to my FFL in Oregon via UPS.  Yesterday, Monday, he packed and shipped them, long gun, $20.00, 7-10 days delivery. Pistols, $160.00, next day delivery.  18 hours later, Tuesday, the UPS driver delivers the pistol pkg. to him to verify the shipping address. :o   I may get it someday. :rolleyes:   Gotta love the people working (?) for the delivery services these days. My 2 bits.

I think people would praise the delivery companies allot more if they wouldn't

 get it wrong more times than they got it right. I've had USPS and UPS route my package all around me even back and forth to the same hubs before arriving at my house. One UPS driver would always drop my packages off at the neighbors before me. 

What is it they say 1 screw up removes a thousand at a boys.

 ....... maybe it's cheaper to put a stamp on it than pay their own driver to drive allllllllll the way out to your place through rain, or snow, or gloom of night .......  :huh:

For the third time in three years, an item I have bought from Amazon has been "lost in transit" en route to my grand children.  Granted, Amazon has made the loss good, but it seems if I buy electronics for gifts, they don't get delivered as intended.

 

Oh, did I mention...my grand kids live in WA state, a few miles from the Amazon warehouse the stuff is shipped from?  Yeah, it's not going cross country, just around the corner.

On the flip side.....

 

My son ran his first marathon in Seattle last week.  As a "well done", I shipped two live lobsters from Maine and two filets to my son and his wife - by FedEx.  

Picked up - as scheduled.

Delivered next day to their high rise in Seattle - slightly ahead of schedule.

Lobsters - still wiggling.

Great job!

Well it is the silly season. UPS, Fedex, etc have hired temporary delivery people to meet the demand. Untrained and they know its not a full time job.

Lots of videos out there showing the great  pride they take in throwing your packages. Leaving them at the end of the driveway etc. I once received a package with tire marks on it!

They all have issues yet they all do good jobs. Not sure what the key to having success  all the  time is with these people.

 

I was just bragging on Amazon the other day and saying how I have never had a problem then that night they delivered 3 boxes to the wrong address.

Gonna go with this and give kudo's to our delivery people.

Not saying they are perfect (have had some problems in the past) but recently very good

Last five online orders.

Chey-Cast, order to delivery 3 days (over Thanksgiving), package pristine, USPS.

KMS Square, USPS flat rate small box 2 days order to delivery (Monday afternoon to Wednesday afternoon)

UniqueTek, order to delivery 2 days, package perfect in a flat rate USPS

Shutterfly, 6 cups for gifts with photo printing order on Sunday delivered today (wednesday) UPS box perfect

Dillon, order to delivery 3 days (over Thanksgiving) USPS package looked great.

Did NOT ask for or pay for expedited delivery on any of them.

Regards

Once UPS delivered an M1911A1 I'd bought online with my C&R to my neighbor's house. Fortunately when they brought it over to me the package was still unopened, otherwise that'd have been a really awkward conversation.

Aside from the food store and an occasional stop at Lowes or Walmart I do almost all of my shopping online and I rarely have problems with USPS, UPS, FedEx or Amazon.

 

The kukri I ordered from the maker in Nepal took 2 weeks to make it, FedEx received it 4:22 pm on  11/15 in Kathmandu, Nepal and I got it here in central CT at 10:48 am on 11/17.

 

Maybe you're on their "naughty" list! :P

UPDATE: I got the package today 12/8……it was shipped from Illinois on 11/28 , I’m in Ohio :o

 

It was supposed to be 3-5 days. I guess I should just be glad I got it! ;)

Wah, wah, wah.  I will admit I have whined about UPS and USPS too.  But, being realistic they handle billions of items per year and on-line shopping is increasing exponentially.  Most of the time you get a tracking number and can see your item's progress.  Once it gets close to my house I even get a map of where the truck is located.  We have the best delivery system in the world.  BUT like the snowflakes we have gotten to the point that if something does not meet our demands for instant gratification we whine.  Remember when you are crying about one item that has gotten delayed all the other stuff that came through without a problem.  P.S. if my Item does not get here on time I will whine even though I know I should not.:wacko:

The reason I got my shorts in a wad is because this was a birthday present for someone special and it got here a day late. I should have known better!
