Amazon delivery problems using USPS

[zombie]

It's 9:30 pm on a Saturday night and the USPS truck is out delivering... saw two on Sunday making deliveries... looked odd for a Sunday.

They're just out re-delivering what they screwed up on Saturday night

I prefer UPS over all the others; FED-EX started diverting their stuff to USPS which is by far the worst.

My mail lady is so lazy even if I leave the gate open she either dumps the package at the gate or leaves a note to come to the post office to pick it up.

I'm sure there is some back door deal for UPS / FED EX to subsidize USPS.

I mean if it cost $5 to ship something UPS does the bulk of the handling then the post office gets it for 3-4 days how much $ are they getting?

Get rid of USPS, the EPA and DHS (total joke and waste of Taxpayer $) we might have some $ to reduce taxes....

I guess there is different levels of service in different parts of the country. We seem to never have any problems with UPS, Fed Ex or even the USPS. And yes the USPS even takes the packages that are too big to fit in our large mailbox all the way down our lane and hand delivers them to our front door. Can't complain about any of them. Yes the USPS now delivers packages here on Sunday too. I have personally seen the UPS drivers walk all the way down our lane on foot and deliver the packages to our door, when the trucks can't make it up from the snow and ice. I guess I am blessed.:confused3:

Be sure to give them kudos! Wish it was like that here. Ups and FedEx will go the extra step. I just mailed my mortgage yesterday. Who knows if it's going to make it. Grrr.

UPS delivering here today (Sunday)! Drivers making good OT money.

Same here. Given the choice, I would have them at home with their family (don't like causing someone else to have to work on Sunday), but this time of year, they probably can't handle the volume without working on Sunday.

Mmm I see Amazon just (automatically) renewed my prime membership for $99 Overall Prime is a bargain imo... It more than pays for itself over the year in saved shipping charges.

Agreed that Prime is a good deal. I am surprised at how expensive it is to ship from some companies. :shocked: With Prime, you just don't care and it is second day which is much more expensive at other places. I like Duluth clothing but it is expensive and their shipping charges make my eyes water. :laughing: We are just having shipping for free from Amazon and having to pay for shipping is an ouch.

For Duluth I wait to order until I see at least 20% off and free shipping.

USPS delivered one of our Amazon packages on Sunday. Kinda odd getting a package on Sunday....

Yeah kinda sucks to have to work on Sundays... especially if you are a big football fan. I am sure it goes a long way paying for the xmas bills though!

I tried Amazon Prime for almost a year now and am liking it. Sometimes things can be found for a little less money on Amazon (not Prime) but the two shipping is nice thing to be able to expect and not wonder when. Also a nice bonus is we are now watching movies/TV series on demand through Amazon Video for free which is part of the deal when buying Prime.

We have the same thing at work during apple harvest, no one likes to work on Sunday, but the apples have to come in and there aren't enough hours during the week otherwise.
