Saturday I got an email showing USPS had delivered a package. I
went to the post office this morning and told them I didn't get
the package. I get the story, there was a substitute driver, who
got injured loading her truck, so other drivers had to deliver
the mail after they finished their routes late. Better check my
neighbor's mailbox. Sure enough that's where I found it.

Got to love USPS. They know there is a good chance they put it in
the wrong mailbox.
 
Same thing happens to me. My local post office screws up regularly. Good luck complaining. They are not accountable. If an UPS or Fedex driver did that they would be fired. What is the USPS doing delivering packages anyway? They can't even deliver letters to correct address.
 

We get very good service from our local USPS. They are very much aware that my wife is their best customer in our town and appear to want to keep us both happy.
 
twice in the last 3 weeks I received 2 overnight packages that were delivered 24 hours late ( 1st 1 ) & 2 days late. in the 1st pkg 2 of 3 mated queen bees were D.O.A.. in the 2nd pkg. 1 of 3 was D.O.A.. both were out of the same south carolina post office. because of tracking it's obvious it was the original post office's fault. we filed claims & I'm waiting to see. they refund the postage automatically IF you make a claim. these queens run $35.00 each. on the flip side....2 others queens were mailed priority & I received them 18 hours later alive & well. I did catch my mailman early in his route & got the queens from him. otherwise they'd have spent 4 more hours in his truck. he goes down my street eastbound 1st & i'm at the end of his route when he's westbound.
 
About mid June a guy shipped me something. He had the address right. The postal worker entered the wrong zip for the scan label. The item left Philly and went to KC where a literate postal worker saw that the zip was messed up on the shipping label (they did not correct that mistake) and sent it to Fargo ND where it should have then come to my PO. Fargo sent it back to Philly who sent it to KC who then sent it to Fargo who then sent it to Philly who then sent it to NYC. NYC corrected the shipping label and according to tracking shipped it 4 times in 2 days.

Now in the meantime I emailed the USPS asking where my package was. That I think is where NYC corrected the scan label. I still get to this day a notification via email "DO NOT REPLY" that they don't have enough info to track my item. The one that now has been delivered and is setting on my desk. They can't even figure out that it was in fact delivered.........21 days after it was mailed.

I have way more trouble with FEDEX. For a while they wouldn't come to my area until they had a full truck. Sometimes my package would sit on there truck for over a week waiting for my packages to deliever in my area. The last three packages the driver left my package at a vacant house three houses down and on the other side of the street. The house is over grown with weeds and trees, the front door has fell off and the roof is about to cave in. And yet the FEDEX guy leaves my packages there!
 
Same here. We get excellent service from our local USPS. Don't know what all the complaining is about.
 
I do not like when UPS hands packages off to the post office. It always delays delivery for 1 day and sometimes much longer in my case.

I too am not fond of FEDEX. The delivery drivers in my area are independent contractors and care little about their work. The company drivers are OK but I see one only if there is a problem.

FWIW, we've had excellent fast USPS service. This isn't just local - we buy a lot online, much of it from all across the country, and much of it gets shipped USPS. It gets here fast. Our local driver is also excellent.
 
USPS has been pretty good for me. I'll take them every time over "FedUp".

That being said, as inept as the system can be sometimes, what gave you the right to go and meddle with your neighbor's mailbox looking for your package?

Thought such a thing was a federal offense???
 
You just gave the best argument for having self driving cars, trucks, planes and trains. Sometimes when humans make mistakes, people pay the price with their life.
 
The USPS processes and delivers around 500 million packages and letters every day.

Their system is already highly automated, and yet they STILL make mistakes. Who'da thunk that even machines aren't perfect?

I would bet that 90% of the errors are caused by CUSTOMERS putting wrong information on the packages, not the USPS.
