Once or twice it has made it in 3 days, but that's the exception, not the rule. Almost without fail it takes 4 days to make the trip. I mail and have stuff mailed through priority mail between central FL and northern VA 2 or 3 times a month. "You don't have to doubt it it's a simple fact." Statements like the above and, "You're obviously talking out of your ass", are criticizing the person, not the idea. That's exactly what I did I criticized your ideas, not you. Excessive flaming will not be tolerated.' Sorry to disappoint you, but I don't eat corn flakes. Raptor: I don't know who pissed in your corn flakes lately, but cut out the ad homs and keep it civil, please. I asked: 'What do you mean for packages'. Raptor: You know, those larger, bulkier, often breakable items that don't usually fit inside a standard envelope? I think paying $12.00 USD to ship a letter or package across the United States within 24 hours is extremely fair, especially when time is of the essence. If not, I think you answered that already with, Raptor: Without shelling out a ton of cash for SuperSpecialFast service? If so, that's not what we're discussing. You keep thinking that, maybe one day you will believe it. Raptor: If there's any deficiency in getting it there on time it's due to the USPS, not me. If the recipient is not home at the time of the delivery then the package could be undeliverable. If you don't package properly, that could delay shipment. If you don't print clearly, that could delay shipment. Such as delivery confirmation, insurance, etc. You need to specify exactly how you want it shipped and what 'extras' you want with it. The person shipping a package has just as much responsibility in shipping a package as the company does. Uh, what's there to know? You go to the Post Office, say "I'd like to mail this please", give them the proper amount of postage and send it on its way.
If you're talking about Priority Mail or Express mail then yes, it is perfectly reasonable for me to highly doubt that. Raptor: But it's perfectly reasonable for you to "highly doubt" that the minimum delivery time I've seen for mail is 3 days, with 4 being most common? Not only is it unreasonable, it's absurd.Įvery single time I have shipped a letter or package within the 48 contiguous states via USPS Priority Mail it as arrived within 48 hours, no exceptions. Raptor: So it's unreasonable for me to doubt that every single time you have ever mailed something it is always at its destination in 48 hours or less, no matter where it is going. They should be run like a business, not like our government. In fact, they should just sell FedEx or UPS services adding a markup. They need to get rid of services that compete with companies that can do them better.
The Post Office needs to get rid of bonuses, especially when it's losing money. Overnight and 2-Day mail are losing huge amounts of money.Īfter your first year of employment with the Post Office you are elgible for 13 days of vacation and 13 sick days. They were shut down by the Post Office.Īs for marketing the Post Office only advertises services that compete against other companies. In Chicago, a company started distributing magazines and catalogs door to door. For 6¢, one could send a letter from D.C. A few years ago a company started delivering mail within Washington D.C. (did you know the post office owns the rights to your mailbox) that's why all those flyers end up all over the porch instead of in your mailbox. It is illegal for anyone to compete with the post office. None of these bonuses went to the carriers or sorters. Last year, they gave our $100 million more in bonuses than they had in profit. From what I've heard, the Post Office is just a poorly run business.
