According to the latest news, its going to get slower as the new head is tasked with reducing costs. I placed an order with Hireko golf for a new putter gri...

Rickochet Update on my missing shipment to Austin. PO got it on the Sept. 16 and tracking showed that. I filed an inquiry with USPS a few days ago. My wife call a call from USPS this afternoon that told her the package is still in delivery and asked us to be patient. Tracking showed that an inquiry had been opened and closed today. Tracking finally updated today showing it arrived today in Louisville which is 50 fucking miles away. So that tells me the package sat at my home PO for twelve days. A 6 x 6 x 36" box shouldn't be too hard to see. What a joke.

Well, after two weeks my second lost package was finally delivered to Austin. Although it worked out ok it shouln't take stuff that long to ship. It seems UPS and FEDEX are not having any issues. I will certainly look at other than USPS options in the future.

This was my first problem with USPS after many years of using them.

Sooner or later they will get ya.

Amazon built a Fulfillment Center in Madison, WI so anything fulfilled by Amazon now is coming next day by their fleet of contractors or employee drivers. Nice thing is when Amazon driver leaves package a image is taken at spot where it's left. As a Prime customer you leave feedback.

Bought some shafts from DTG on SEP 25th. They were promptly sent to the PO where they got scanned as Accepted on the 28th. According to scan history, they're still there. My hope is they'll arrive any day and there just wasn't any scans.

Yesterday I ordered shafts and grips from DTG. I got them today. Thing is, I phoned in the order and asked them to use UPS.

Still no issues here. Although I will say, the BITCHES that work at our PO are enough to make me drive 15 miles and drop off at an Ace Hardware in my old 'hood. These BITCHES have entitled, holier than thou, attitudes.

Funny you mention that. My local post office here has very friendly employees as does the one in Florida. Surprises me because my old post office in VA was staffed with people who seemed to hate everyone.

LB there’s a woman in Hamilton I got into it with one time. She took the measurements of my box, which was the long triangle shaped box. She told me it was gonna be like $28 to ship one club. I told her she didn’t know WTF she was doing. She said oh would you like to come back here and do my job for me?? I was madder than hell. I drove to a different post office and shipped it for like $16

What the fuck is "premium tracking"??

I think premium tracking keeps the tracking number searchable for years, rather than a few months -- but they charge for it. They sent me an email about it a while back, but I deleted it. I guess if you have important paperwork of some sort, it might have value.

DonM I used to get everything from them the next day, when they only used FedEx. When the change came to USPS, it sometimes takes a week. I'll remember next time to call, never thought to ask. I've not ordered anything from them this year because of the shipping problems....all of their shipments go thru Chitown before it heads West.

The guy who took my order said they have had a lot of problems with USPS. So he didn't resist at all as far as sending it UPS.

And these are prepaid, f****** boxes.

Still waiting for my stuff. It looks like they just stopped scanning, but the stuff is moving. My last shipment showed to be in the originating PO as Accepted until the day it arrived here.

Well, a good report. Shipped a box out to MI Thurs. p.m. and it was delivered today, on schedule. I did hold my breath as it headed toward Chicago, but it went thru the Aurora hub, just this side of there and passed on through. 😀

Apparently, FedEx likes to follow in the early ways of the American Indians, go opposite directions, in order to not be followed by the enemy. 😆

Par4QC nashville must be a major hub. Seem to remember that happening with one of my packages....as long as it gets to you on time no biggie.

I recently sent a set of irons from KY to the Northeast via UPS. Cost was a couple of bucks higher than USPS and Fedex but easier for me to get to the terminal. It went like clock work with current tracking and package arrived in good shape.

ode I don't even care if it's on time, it's golf balls, not something needed, only wanted, lol. Seems odd, the movement South instead of North, where the hub is only 30 mi. further(Champaign) than Nashville.
