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.

        Tested 'the system' while shipping boxes on Monday.
        1 box going to MI, I sent Priority, 2 day.
        1 box I sent to CA, I sent Ground Advantage, 4 days.

        Yes, the box has been delivered in CA.
        The MI box will be delivered tomorrow(hopefully, as stated in tracking).

              sdandrea1 I had also sent a box to HY that same day, Priority. It was delivered today.
              Moral of story.....quit wasting money on Priority Mail. Ground Advantage is just as fast, mostly faster.
              And Pirate Ship is no cheaper now using either. (maybe still for the long stuff)

                  …. and heavy ?

                      Eguller A 10# ship to HI only cost me $13 through PP ship station. It was (iirc) cheaper/same as PS.

                          Par4QC same as PS.

                          Has been for me on every shipment.....I use PS to gauge what it will cost and it is the same on every shipment I e used PP/SS.....that being said.....I don't do the volume you do🙃

                            darpar I would almost thin it was like that before it was shipped. I was at a store and they had a used set of Taylormade p730 irons and the wedge shaft looked like that.

                              darpar you should be able to have some decent shaft lean with that one...

                                    My wife ordered a bunch of stuff on sale ($45.00 worth) from Bath and Body Works. It was sent UPS and then the USPS delivered it. We never got the package. They said it was delivered on 1-9.

                                    My guess is it was delivered to the wrong address. We don't really have a problem with porch pirates because we have landscaping blocking the view. The front entrance has a screen enclosed vestibule that they leave packages in.

                                    Most people who get something that is delivered to them by mistake will return it to the post office or bring it to the correct address themselves. That's what we do. Oh well, she's out $45.00.

                                      sdandrea1 .....and it's YOUR fault. 😂

                                      She actually blames herself. She got the delivery notice, but didn't look at it until much later.

                                        Sneakylong UPS attaches a pic of the delivery on tracking. Shows exactly where they placed it, and condition of package. It does not show the address on the house though.
