Usps !@#$%^&*!!!!!!!!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Clyde65** · 09-27-2010, 11:05 AM

I sent a package to Florida from Texas, when I dropped the package off they asked for my phone number, the recipients phone number and the address, all which I gave happily. it was supposed to get there on Friday, which it did, however they put on the tracking that it wasnt a "serviceable" address so they will send it back......so why the hell did I give them the phone numbers? why/how didnt they know at the time of drop off it wasnt a serviceable address? GOSH! now I will have to send it Fedex or UPS at 2x the rate. I hate USPS!

Using the USPS is like using UHAUL.....you know what is going to happen!!!

Sorry it happened but NEVER use USPS!

Fed-EX is my choice for all delivery. Its cheaper, quicker and way more reliable.

I use USPS all the time, only one issue, they dropped a package off at the wrong address one time, and it sat there for 3 days before the moron realized it was the wrong house.

You have had great luck......I ran at about 40% sending and recieving larger stuff before I quit all together.Heck....I had 2 certified letters get lost and a third claim it was undeliverable in the same month only to be remailed with the same envelope and strangly find its way to the address.

seems like they would call the guys number and have him pick it up.....on another note, how can it be unservicable? seems like they would go everywhere

**Clyde65** · 09-27-2010, 04:49 PM

1Lo, that is exactly what I am saying, shouldnt they know "unserviceable" when I tell them the address? I really dont know why it is unserviceable, but why the hell cant they call someone. I rarely ship anything, my dad does a sh1tload and he uses USPS, I should have known it would be mine that is screwed. I wonder how I am going to get it back? It is my speedo sent for repairs, which now will take FOREVER! Thanks USPS you suck!

OK, it is out of my system.

I can't tell you how many times something of mine has "disappeared" with USPS, usually something valuable and small like electronics and such. They regularly check in packages that are supposed to be tracked to your door as "delivered" before they ever leave the local post. They've become a joke, and the Director of USPS was on the air recently touting their 97% success rate, that means 3% of their packages get destroyed or never reach their destination, how is that a good record?

Don't even bother with a claim, it's a joke too. They will call your local post when the stuff clearly never made it past a hub somewhere 1000miles away and say it's resolved.

My local post is very nice and helpful, they get so pissed when these claims come their way though.

**Clyde65** · 10-07-2010, 12:39 PM

well, I got a call from a guy with the USPS, this is after I wrote a scathing nasty-gram, he said he will look into it and get back with me.......well that NEVER happened so, I finally got to the PO and asked, it was there, waste of 12.00 but lesson learned. I sent it Fed Ex and it got there in 2 days. Now it is on its way back hopefully get it today or tomorrow. I still have nothing good to say about the USPS or their Customer Service( lack of that is).

usps does suck. just had a package not show up to a fellow member. Paypal dispute filed against me and lost the money for the item and shipping. Feel your pain 100%, plus placed in the bad deals section. great for the reputation, especially when you have more to sell.
