And my update. Laziness, sheer lazy, worthless union trash non-workers.

Shipped a package Priority Mail from Milwaukee to Zumbrota, MN on Monday, 12/30. Sat in MKE distribution for three days over New Year's. Popped up in Minneapolis on Saturday and hasn't moved since. So much for 3-Day shipping. Last month I ordered a tool from a company in Chicago that took the USPS 8 days to go 90 miles.

Want yet another reason to hate USPS? They get tomorrow off. To worship Jimmy Carter. So no mail. Any excuse not to deliver!

My shit's BACK in Atlanta again and just sitting. AGAIN!

It sat because they're all gov employees and were off for Christmas/New Years. Meanwhile I was getting things in ONE day from Amazon during that timeframe.

And now back to Palmetto........

This is infuriating.

One of our members here bought a Sig NOS mag from me a few weeks ago, and sent payment in the US Mail. Because of forecast bad weather here in western Montana I decided to go ahead and ship him the mag, early. I packaged it up, then dropped it off in a US Postal small "flat rate " box at my local post office. Flat rate with this small box, that weighed almost nothing was $11.00 to send . When the buyer picked it up at his local post office, they then charged him an additional $3.35 for it. WHY ????? I paid the cost to send it, took over a week to get there, and then they tack on more money ...total BS !

USPS has never been my favorite way to get things from A to B, but it seems a lot worse lately.

Sent a package to Sumner, Maine which is 160-ish miles from me.

A few days later, tracking shows it in Oak Creek, Wisconsin.

It did eventually get there, but I imagine the guy that bought it thought he'd been scammed.
