USPS sucks

FauxAmish Can you see the dates on both tracking sources, that say when label was created?

Par4QC
No Rex. Neither one states when the label was created.

sdandrea1 Well here's the tracking on the DCT head I bought. SC to FL (Jacksonville) and now back to SC. WTF? I was expecting it yesterday and now I have no idea....

Looks like it's arriving today after making two full round trips. Nice.......

USPS probably figured you’d sell it before you opened it so they saved you the trouble and sent it back to SC FOR you

JAYSUS, they're onto me!

USPS isn't so bad. It could be worse............

"The shipment will eventually arrive somewhere at some point in time"

sdandrea1 I have no idea how it's being delivered or by what carrier. But, shipping was free, and I had no hurry for the 'products'.

USPS now has a new service....Ground Advantage, along with their Priority Mail option. It is cheaper, much cheaper to some places, than Priority. And, in checking the 14 boxes (under 30" of course) I shipped Thurs./Fri., I'm finding all delivered Sat. or out for delivery today!!
To FL, NY, CA, WA, etc..

I did not check with Pirate Ship, but don't think they can beat the prices on ShipStation, as low as they were.
In almost all cases, pricing was $1-2 lower than Priority.

Shipping to PA...... really ?

I have shipped so many boxes through the years that they must have my name on a list of some sorts.
I was shipping all over the world, every week, when building those spine finders, way back when. I mean to countries where you'd ask yourself WTH were they going to use it for there...can't possibly have golf courses! They'd be delivered in 3-5 days. Once sent a box to Australia and it was delivered in 3, while a box going to CA shipped at same time, was delivered in 4 days. Canada was taking the usual 10-14 days, then suddenly they were all getting delivered in just 3-5 days also.
And all that time, all those boxes, even up to today, only 1 was ever lost or damaged. And when I did have any problem with a slow, or thought lost, package, it was remedied in less than 24 hrs. Amazing. Lucky me.

Now I gotta go check my Powerball tickets..................maybe I should have sent them to myself, Priority.

Overall, I've had mostly excellent results using USPS over the years. I have shown here some of my crazy bad experiences, but they were rare exceptions. I'd say USPS is very good but occasionally they suck.

sdandrea1 After I made that post, I did have a scare. Kept checking tracking to make sure it actually got delivered, and it was not showing it, even late last night. I contacted the buyer and he said he was already using it! Stated the carrier did not scan at delivery. 1st time that has ever happened to me.
