USPS warning!!!! Use UPS or FED-EX

[TatTooL23]

Yeah. He's way overboard. Pretty ridiculous and childish. Another case of keyboard muscle.....

I agree this thread should be done away with. This is the stuff that is discouraging for new comers to read. Or even current members.

Okay my experiences with all 3 . My mail carrier was so lazy she would attach larger items to my mailbox with a large white trashbag . The final straw was when she left a brand new xbox hanging from my box ( she refused to get out of her car ; my doorstep in 30 feet from my driveway ) and it had been hanging there all day while I was at work . How no one stole it was beyond me . It got to a point 7-8 pieces of mail a week I received were not mine . I kept taking the mail to the postmaster and the whole community did as well . It took 9 years to finally get her replaced . New carrier is fantastic . UPS and Fed have had some glitches too but customer service was better to work with IMO . USPS is in jeopardy of closing down and the customer service is turning around but I think it may be too late .

No, don't do away with this thread. Let them who look stupid be exposed. s who pop in on a thread arguing and that take no one else's testimonies, advice, fact, or experience on a subject show the rest of the crew how big of idiot's they really are. As I have mentioned several times before, idiots with the lower I.Q.'s, bring down the average of the global population to a dangerously low unsurvivable level. New members look at this thread and will know who the ignorant members are right away, it's a useful tool. Plus, no need prove who is always acting against the common 3-wheeler folk in a negative fashion, let the reading be the proof. See what's scary here folk??? Many tried to drop there I.Q. to explain to a lesser human: economics, morals, and ethics, which if they don't get it by now, never will.

I have had great success with usps priorty shipping and delivery confirmation, but do not like the usps economy shipping and delivery confirmation method. The difference I have found is, with priority shipping the delivery confirmation # works pretty good as a tracking # showing the package's progress. With the economy shipping, the delivery confirmation # only shows when it was sent, ish, and the next post shows when it was delivered - nothing in between - makes customers nervous. I hate hate hate signature confirmation - my schedule does not allow me to get to my local po during the week, so any of those packages have to wait til Saturday morning. I guess I have been lucky because I have never had to deal with a lost package as long as it has delivery confirmation on it - I did have a few payments lost that were sent snail mail with no # whatsoever...live and learn.

^^^^ yeah, true that!

The sad thing is that some of you have had things left at your mailbox or end of the driveway and the insurance rarely will cover theft so it's just a huge disappointment.

I too have a 150' driveway and when my compressor came with "curb side delivery" they said they were just gonna leave it at the curb and take off if no-one was home. I said "I don't even have a sidewalk!!" and that anyone could steal it in 30 seconds!! Regardless, I stayed home for 2 days for "Este's Trucking" to make certain I got my baby........

Not to mention they said "no lift gate" for 300lbs. So I built forks for my JD BL 500C and then it came on a short truck with a gate; GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my fedex guy delivers packages where he wants, not even at my house. had a box come from cheapcycle parts, $500 worth of parts guy delivered it 2 streets over. good thing the guy who got it gave me a call to say it was at his house. called up fedex and complained, guy came to my house the next day saying all the houses look the same! great explaination buddy. thats happened to me 3 times so far. i try and not use fedex.

I agree with Mosh! We pay these people to do us a service and it seem they can't go a few extra feet to finish the delivery.
My mailman/woman has been replaced 3 times over the last 5 years. I filed complaints cause I've had to pay late fees for my bills, when I pay them the next day they arrive.What are they doing with my mail, taking it home?
Now I have to take my mail to the post office to make sure it gets delivered.
Whenever the mailman/woman trys to take a break right by my house, I go to them and tell them to move it or I'll turn them in and remind them of who they replaced and why! Take that! You make my bills late I'll run you off!
I've rebuilt a few bikes and when UPS delivers parts to me, 60% of them look like someone drop kicked them off the truck. I need some Valium....man.

Has someone been drinking too much?

I have the daily pickup threw UPS they come and pick up my stuff i sell on ebay every week day it's only $20 a week. I just site in on the porch and when i get home from work it's gone. You get a shipping discount also using that setup. Never had any problems with that always shows up.

Moshman that would be a good setup for you with all the seats and stuff you sell. Better then daily pickup.
