Shipping USPS - A Cautionary Tale
Comments (8)I've shipped many pkgs via Priority mail using the e-mail notification feature. I've received many more but am extremely fortunate in that we have the nicest mail lady, Tina. Being in the country, she delivers via a mail vehicle. Knowing how to butter up people, I give her an ARS rose calendar every year and often leave rose blooms in floral tubes in my mail box for her. When we get a package, she brings it to the door along with the other mail. If she knows we're not feeling well she'll bring our mail to the door. I ship roses and on one occassion a little water leaked through the box. I had taken it to the post office to ship and the counter clerk noticed the wet spot. She helped me repackage it right there. I've lived in smaller towns all my life with post offices that employ people who know of me and my rose hobby. I'm always treated well and they seem to go out of their way to assist me. Fortunately, I've never had an experience like yours. If I'm not going to be home, a note in my mailbox and/or on the door will get any package and the mail delivered to my neighbor's house....See Moreusps versus ups for shipping to canada

Comments (48)Iris, I am in NC and ordered several things the past few days and they all say delivery Mon 24th. I called and inquired about this and was told it was due to Hurricane Florence. They said it may come earlier but do not expect it to. Many roads in and out of NC and SC are packed and/or not driveable so they're not sending trucks through. Hope this helps.

Comments (13)Not a universal problem with USPS apparently but in my area it is a big one of packages never arriving, or misdelivered, or arriving days-weeks late, but yet marked either as delivered on time or "unable to deliver because". Some may have to do with package thieves, but there are plenty of stories available of USPS employees found to be falsely marking items as delivered or undeliverable or even ditching the packages entirely in order to meet their daily quotas....See Morelucillle
