The USPS Sucks
Yeah, they suck BAD. My mailman is a jerk, too.
I’ve filed yet another complaint. So, aside from the complaint I just filed, my complaints include theft of property (believe it or not, he stole my beatup and battered US flag that was rusted into the mount– I complained, and the next day it was back, rolled up neatly, on the side of my house), harrassing my pets (knocking on the glass to make my cat run from the door– we saw it from the kitchen), and improper delivery procedures (received first and last notice on Jan 16th to pickup Christmas gift containing food items sent on Dec 5). He makes us go to the post office for every single priority mail package we get– no matter how small.
I’m sick of these jerks. I’m about ready to remove my mailbox from my door and put in a forwarding to my post office box.
Check out what these pricks did to my 8×10 prints:
Jesus, you people whine too much. Go chew on a dingleberry…
UPS should be abolished. Too much money for poor service.
Tracking? Why pay for it? They NEVER have it online for you.
Invisible tracking lol if it wasnt so freakin sad we pay money for this shizzle.
The postal service is a waste of space. I mailed a package to be delivered in the same town, less than three miles from home with signature confirmation. GONE, lost and not even an apology.
I mailed to another person out of town, the package is lost.
You try and claim on insurance and they keep saying that you haven’t waited long enough for them to investigate. Then when they do investigate they tell you what you know from the delivery confirmation status report which doesn’t help anyone.
I had important documents mailed EXPRESS NEXT DAY GUARANTEED and it took 6 days for the post office to deliver them and wasn’t even offer an apology. I HAD TO FAX COPIES TO THE ESCROW COMPANY.
My mailman has never learnt how to close the mail box, most of the time he doesn’t even both delivering mail. I mailed a card to myself and it took 6 weeks to arrive SIX WEEKS. I get a mail delivery once a week if I am lucky. Daren’t leave anything to be picked up in the mail bo because it might not be collected. The whole street rarely sees the mailman and if you complain then you are told you are ignorant.
The the inbred USPS worker. If you spent as much time actually working in your ‘jobs for life’ world then maybe stuff would be delivered.
We have switched all our package and important document services switched to FEDEX and UPS where it is safe and they insure the packages as part of the normal cost instead of gouging more money that they then make you jump through hoops if you have to make a claim!
It’s time to open the market to the competition and let this dinosaur finally die and make these workers actually work for a living!
I have sent very urgent documents to the Australian Embassy via USPS EXPRESS service. It took them 7 days to deliver the package and even with my reschedule they managed to deliver it on a date that Embassy is closed (which I mentioned that it would be closed) and the package is lost. I hate USPS so bad.
I GOT MVP 2004 OFF OF AMAZON 3 MONTHS AGO AND IT STILL HASNT ARRIVED
Ordered a graphics card off Walmart.com UPS gave the package to USPS to deliver. arrived with a broken box 4 days after latest expected date.
Today our unbeloved postman delivered my next door neighbor’s mail to me instead of my own. After slipping around the neighborhood on ice, I discovered *all* of our mail was delivered one house to the left. Every… last… letter…
He has also threatened (via a postal form) to stop delivering my mail because my 30 year old brick-encased mailbox is 1 inch below postal service “recommendations”. He also complained that my house number was not on the box itself (it’s in 6″ contrasting digits on the front of my house, 6 feet away – apparently Mr. Magoo has nothing on him).
On several occasions, when expecting a “next day delivery” package, we’ve *watched* him put a form in the box stating “Resident not home” in our box and drive off with our package – he doesn’t even look up. In one memorable case, my teenage daughter chased him down the street (he gunned his engine and escaped), with her returning in tears at having to wait another day after paying their outrageous next day delivery fees. And the capper is that the packages are *not* stashed at the mail station 4 blocks from our house, but at a different station 2 miles away.
Yes, I avoid the USPS like the plague they are, but occasionally we’re forced to suffer at their hands by unenlightened businesses. I can hardly wait until my health care is this “good”.
These f***wits all deserve to be fired. Incompetent sacks of shit that can’t handle anything properly.
All you USPS “workers” should end yourselves.
Your lives revolve around handling letters and you can’t even do that.
KILL YOURSELVES YOU INCOMPETENT PIECES OF S***.
I droped a package off at the postoffice and they cant find it Jerks, called 800-275-8777, they worse than the postal workers
and goverment want to try to manage health care HA HA
dog u dont no how much i f***ing hate usps. listen i orderede something it is scheduled 2 come today and it still aint here and its 4 o clock. and the info about it just started coming up on the tracking today im Pissed
The USPS has to hold the crown for horrible service right next to the DMV, and local building permit offices. What a joke. I sent a package to Peru, and the geniuses mailed it to BRAZIL. And there it has sat… for 16 days! So I called 800-275-8777 (USPS Customer Service), and their menu is obnoxious. It has no option for lost mail or package. It has no option to just talk to a human. So I had to spend 5 minutes finally winding my way through the tracking system (I had already tracked it to Brazil online) to finally get to a human. The first guy I talked to confirmed that it was destined for Peru, but was in Brazil. I asked if that’s normal. He said he didn’t know… And nothing more. So, I asked if there was a way he could find out. He transferred me to an “agent”. Whatever that is. I had to give my tracking number for the 3rd time now. She (again) confirmed the destination and location of the package. I had to ask (again), is that normal. She replied no, we sent it to the wrong location. Sorry. Then asked if I wanted her to file a formal inquiry to try to get the package to the right place… No! I want you to let it rot in Brazil. Morons! Then, I had to give her all my info (name, address, phone number, and destination address). Well, I can’t find the destination address, since my wife actually addressed the package, and I can’t get ahold of her for another few hours. The “agent” replied that I will have to call back, and open ANOTHER claim, because she can’t save all the information that I already gave to her. Shouldn’t she already have this focking info from when I sent the damn package the first time?! And why can’t you open a complaint, and not actually initiate the inquiry until I call back? She said that she didn’t design the software. No kidding? You certainly sound like a programmer.
After I asked if she could make some notes about how dissatisfied I am with their services, she offered to document a complaint. YES! I jumped at this chance. Supposedly, someone’s going to call and ask me about the complaint. I’m not holding my breath.
I’m all about letting the USPS rot in to oblivion. They seem to be doing a pretty good job of that on their own. Don’t get me wrong … I don’t have an issue with individuals within the USPS … it’s the USPS in general that crawls under my skin. I make it a point now to do all my mailing (minimal) through private carriers. My most recent complaint is the iPhone that I sold on eBay and packaged up to send to Chile. It never arrived, nor can the USPS tell me anything about where it might be. I had to refund the eBay buyer his money and I’m left with nothing. This is irresponsible and bad for business. Continuing service like this will ensure the USPS sees it’s last day sooner than later.
Please do all you can to tell your friends and family to avoid the USPS. Let’s hit them where it hurts – in the pocketbook.
I ordered COD MW 2 from amazon, and never got it even though the tracking information claims it was delivered. After 3 weeks of playing grab ass with usps customer service, they decide there is nothing they can do. If i fuck up at work i am at least punished for it, so usps needs to fix the problems it makes if it wants to call itself a business. Id really like to punch a postal worker right in the nose.
I sell online with ebay and paypal makes you create shipping labels for use with USPS. WHAT A SCAM! First off if the usps employee sees it says ebay on the shipping label they are already 5x more likely to break into the package. Second, they dont process the pre-paid postage correctly! I send priority mail 2-3 day service. The package gets shipped out, goes through the processing center and reaches the destination USPS office where it is rejected for inadequate shipping. IT ALREADY REACHED THE DESTINATION LOCAL OFFICE, WHY ARE YOU REJECTING THE LABEL NOW? So naturally it will take another 6 days to come back to the sender. What a wonderful waste of everything. Save the earth dont ship with USPS.
Oh yeah, they’re idiots alright!!! Just got my business’ change of address confirmation, they’ve decided to spellcheck my business name!!! Who spellchecks the name of a business!?!?!?!
Of course, after spending 20 minutes on the phone to get someone at their 800 number to actually do some work, I get this incompetent bitch named Shilo (her ID number is ZZE215)who claims to be a supervisor. She tells me I now have to take time off to stand in line at the post office to get the name of my business corrected in the address change! She wouldn’t transfer me to her supervisor, refused to give me the name and/or number, and refused to do anything more than “send a message to the next level” to call me back!
Funny, after googling the local USPS branch’s number, I had the lady who answered correct the business name, check to see when the mail was properly stopped and made the necessary changes to get my mail moving to our new business address! Huh!!! It didn’t seem too hard and I didn’t have to take time away from my day to do this.
Hey Shilo, you dumb broad, thought this couldn’t be done over the phone??? How’s about you and the rest of your “agents” you work with find another line of work, perhaps a telemarketing job? Seems you’re good at sitting on your ass and lying to everyone you talk to!!!
I know someone that works for UPS and apparently he’s stolen a few packages containing cellphones and jewelry…He approaches his younger brother asking, “Hey, you want a new cellphone?” He replies, “Are you going to buy me one?” The thief replies, “No, I stole some packages with jewelry and cellphones. If not, I think I’m going to sell them.”
…fire the postman general!! i was one to have supported the usps in the past, but my in 4 months i have had negative experiences at my local post office, express mail, and first class mail. what’s the problem down there? i will make every effort to pay my bills on line, email and to send via fedex or ups.
I agree, the USPS is horrible! These guys gripe & complain about how USPS is going bankrupt, maybe if you offered better, reliable service you would not be in this position!
I am waiting for medical equipment to arrive, it was sent via USPS priority mail from a company 60 miles from me, today is day 3 of non-delivery, UPS or Fed Ex would have had this delivered to me next day!
I can’t stand USPS, I will NEVER have any packages shipped by them, Fed Ex or UPS from now on, give me a break I should have driven to pick this package up myself, can’t wait for the failure of USPS, maybe then they will realize how pissed off their customers are!
I sent a package to a soldier in Afghanistan PRIORITY MAIL over a MONTH ago and he still hasn’t received it. Focking incompetent bastards.
