So excluding accidents (like train derailments - yes I know this isn't UPS), bad weather, special circumstances, and those we missed you salmon pink notices.
Have you guys ever had priority mail (2-3 days) take longer than that? Also be sure to exclude handling time and days where you missed the drop-off deadline (if you drop it into the APC after the PO closes)
The only incident I've had with the USPS is I had a refused package bouncing back and forth for about a month between Norcal and Socal due to some automated sorting error.
Some retail postal workers also refuse to scan packages when you drop them off - supposedly they changed that recently this year.
Another hilarious thing is I often hear the retail clerks say to people ,who wait in line to drop things off, oh you could've just dropped the package off at that counter and I'm like rollseye*.
Thank god for the APC latch.
Anyways, if only we had massive Fedex discounts :/
Is it just me or do things with prepaid barcodes (like the things you print from stamps.com, paypal shipping, usps website etc) ship faster?
First class and priority prepaid mail seems to work well for me, without a hitch.
Whenever I've paid for things at the retail counter, I feel like shipping is much, much slower.
