USPS SUCKS!!!

[Espeefan]

USPS is good for letters, and things sent in the Flat Rate boxes, but I find that for just about everything else that you package send out in a box of your own, you are money ahead by using Fed Ex or UPS. I find USPS's fees get out of hand, as soon as your box is larger then 11" square. They hit you with some hefty oversized fees! I don't consider that a large box at all. Once you get an oversized fee, you might as well ship with UPS or Fed Ex. They'll include tracking numbers that actually work, and your buyer will get whatever it is you sent him or her about 2 days sooner. That's been my exeperience within the states here.

Huh. I must be fortunate to have such a good PO where we live because we have never had anything lost sent to us, or by using delivery confirmation.

Must be tough luck or unreliable people.

This is everyone who has responded, I think from now on, I will just pay the extra for UPS.
Like I said, i've never had a problem with them.

I remember years ago, I was playing the drums in different bands. UPS showed up with a set chimes I bought for my drum kit. When the driver handed me the box and it was making some noise like something had shatterd like glass.
And he was kind enough to tell me I could put a damage claim on it.
I told him what it was, and he just smiled.
Anyhoo, I thought it was very kind of him.
I did receive my fenders from John yesterday, but I will do things safer in the future
