Arrrrg USPS
13 years ago
This is why I hardly order anything online anymore. I ordered a pair of high quality J Clip pliers to put together my rabbit cages... I could not find any that wouldn't fall apart locally. They were supposed to come yesterday... I check the mail today, and I was SO happy to see the package. I pick it up, hmm... Oddly light. I look, it has been ripped open, no pliers. You have NO IDEA how aggravated I am!!
I used to always ship with USPS, but at this rate I'm going to change, even though it's more expensive to use other companies.
I need these clips because my poor rabbits are still in stackers cages on the carport. I want to get them setup out back, where it's cooler, and where I won't have to deal with pans to empty daily. I was hoping they would come Friday, so I could finish making the triple cage setup, but noooo.... I sure hope the company replaces my pair. I choose one of the top of the line cage makers to order from, so I could get a good pair that last... URRRRG.
Sorry, just needed to bitch and rant somewhere.

It was some wires to convert an internal hard drive into an external. They must've been like... WTF IS THIS??
Luckily thats the only thing I've ever had ripped open or lost so far. You can also have the post office hold onto your packages and pick them up yourself.
To relate more to your tale, we had a package once being shipped here with a tracking number. I checked on it daily and watched as it got to our local P.O., then out to a dead mail facility (with no attempt to deliver at all), then from dead mail straight to our house, bypassing the P.O. all together. That trip should have been a minimum of a day to dead mail, a day to process (assuming they got right to it, but they allow up to 30 days), and then the same travel time to our P.O. and then out for delivery. It made it all in less than 24 hours according to the tracking # and arrived at our place completely undamaged, unopened, or otherwise tampered with.
If UPS, FedEx, or someone else did basic letter deliveries without charging an arm and a leg for specialty stuff, I'd ditch the USPS in a heart beat. Gotta love government monopolies.
