Apparently theft of US mail is treated different than FedEx, UPS, etc?
Post Office complaints about losing business have dominated and now it is having 6 million more packages daily... guess you just can't win...
Post Office said some holiday packages will not be delivered until January... and could be longer depending on weather and Covid.
CA is under lock down with areas under mandatory quarantine for out of area travelers.
Post Office person also said competitors are limiting shipments but Post Office not permitted to limit.

The post had a comment referencing CA political trends.

What's your point?
My comments in this thread regarding Amazon have mentioned what I will call one stop shopping #276 and the fact that I can reference all previous orders #314. The other on line sources referenced in response to my post offer nowhere near what Amazon does. I am sure they are great sites but have quite limited offerings IMHO.

Not so much “political” per se as a member simply pointing out poor governmental responses to social problems and Oaktree simply saying he would prefer to live where government was more responsible. Cause and effect of supply chain goods availability perhaps but nothing objectively political about it.

It appears shippers/sellers replacing items not received is accepted as the cost of doing business.
Without signature confirmation who is to say?
There are neighborhoods where packages simply are not left when no one is there to receive... which could generate another set of problems,
I probably home receive 6 packages annually and have neighbors that can receive 6 packages in a day for personal use.
My best work company to order from is Grainger... always on time, no added shipping charge and items arrive through many different carriers... anything damaged replaced without question and returns accepted at local branch.

Close enough for the moderators at times to lock a thread it seems. They have a lot of ground to cover so I sort of understand. Back to the thread topic.....

Yep, Grainger can be good in all the areas you mention, but they are consistently the very worst in competitive pricing.

What ticked me off with Graingers was that you could walk into the store, look at stuff, ask questions, but you couldn't buy anything unless you were an employee of some company that met their profile. No retail sales. Not sure if they ever changed that policy but our store closed many years ago. I had several other places I could buy the same stuff without hassle.
