Picked up a RDS from Primary Arms in TX over the Black Friday weekend. Went out on Nov. 30 via Priority mail. Arrived at Cincinnati OH distribution center on Nov. 3 where it hasn’t moved since. Not sure how OH is in a path between TX and FL, but apparently it is to the USPS. Priority my butt!! | ||

I sent some checks via USPS to my Merrill-Lynch account to be deposited. They had to go 4 MILES!! They never made it!! It took me almost 3 months to stop payment on the checks and get them re-issued. They were never cashed, or tried to be cashed. The re-issued checks were hand carried to M-L and deposited!! | |||

I had vendor payments that went missing mailed on 3 separate days in late October. All 3 finally showed up about 3 weeks later. I had issued new checks for all 3. For the most part, First Class mail considering the volume is amazingly good. Priority Mail somehow seems second rate. But they seem to screw up in batches. __________________________ Writing the next chapter that I've been looking forward to. | |||

I have five packages that are 3-5 days late and who knows when they will be here. Right now for me it seems Denver is the problem spot, they hit there and die for several days. | |||

USPS has it's issues, for sure. But overall, I've had FAR better luck with USPS over any other carrier. UPS is "fine" I suppose, but FedEx is the worst. I've finally begun not making the purchase if that's the only option available. I ship hundreds of packages via USPS per year, both personal and in work I do with a non-profit. Over the past 4 years, I've only had one package go missing, and three packages significantly delayed (say, longer than 2 days later than expected) and one other that was 2 weeks late (went from California to Chicago to Hawaii, and finally to New York). -------------------------------------- | |||

Agreed. UPS is generally good, but FedEx ground is not good. FedEx Overnight is fine, but expensive. USPS is generally reliable, with the odd temporarily missing package. They have almost always showed up, even if three or four days later than expected. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

I placed an order for a new Thermapen last Sunday. Shipped out from Utah on Monday, Dec 02. Standard 2 - 5 day shipping. It made it from Utah to Indianapolis on Dec 05. It hasn't moved since and its only 30 miles away from me. | |||

I ordered two 1-gallon jugs of cleaner off of Amazon. The seller shipped them through the USPS. The shipment still hasn't arrived and Amazon says that it is expected by the 13th. If it doesn't show up by then, I can cancel on the 14th. Looking at the tracking info, it first hit a carrier facility in West Memphis. It then moved on to Memphis, followed by Nashville. Now, bear in mind, I'm 30 miles SE of Nashville. The next update is its arrival in Greensboro, NC where it has seemingly been stuck for 3-4 days. Oh, how I wish Elon and Vivek could fix the USPS. | |||

30268 Alls I got to say is when you bitch about the USPS, keep in mind that Palmetto, Ga. distribution center has a 36% on time delivery rate. Wondering if they named the office after a really big roach. This is where good packages go to die... | |||

ditto I ship about a hundred a month, almost all USPS, and any ammo UPS, success rate in deliver is very very high, had a few get damaged (by both) over the years, and one or 2 get lost (by both), NEVER believe the delivery day provided by USPS, it is rarely right, and tracking can be off a day or 2 as well, Fed Ex Express, usually good to go, Fed Ex ground, contractors provide the service, and it is, in this area, greatly improved, but way too spotty to be remotely reliable, https://chandlersfirearms.com/chesterfield-armament/ | |||
