It arrived today - 11 days from Georgia to my mailbox.I bought an Apple Watch March 5th, that shipped from Georgia on the 6th but didn't leave Georgia until the 12th; and then it couldn't be delivered to me on the 14th or 15th due to the winter storm in Colorado. But it should have been here days before the storm. IT WAS NOT Priority Mail, it was 1st class with tracking. So, don't use Postal?
That happened to me on the 1st knife I ever bought on a knife exchange. They could have walked it to me faster. I thought I had been ripped off(since I never was given tracking or was even aware of it). Glad I didn't panic and acuse the seller. It has happened a few other times, but usually all goes wellIt arrived today - 11 days from Georgia to my mailbox.
Ever hear a little company called Boeing? The 338 people who died on 737 MAX might have a problem speaking up.Eh, I'm not on board (ha) with this. When's the last time an engine fell off a plane (everyone died), an elevator jackscrew's threads got shredded by poor maintenance procedures (everyone died), an uncontained engine failure severed most control hydraulics (most passengers died IIRC), improper cargo caught fire (everyone died), an electrical fault caused a fuel vapor explosion (everyone died), etc. Aviation disasters were a lot rougher decades ago than now. There have been what, 2 or 3 deaths on domestic commercial flights in the last decade?
Back on topic, I haven't noticed delay issues with USPS here lately (but I'm not waiting on knives lately), and Amazon (in their home town!) makes USPS look extremely competent IMO.
I just think its hard to get good employees..... Anywhere/Everywhere.
Doesn't matter if you are looking for a doctor, a priest, or a mailman.
Exactly!^ This is the cause and it is getting worse. Some places down here cannot even get so-so or poor employees and the positions go vacant.
I’ve camped out by the front door all day only to find a notice on my front door of a failed delivery attempt because no one was home. I never heard the doorbell (it works) or heard knocking.At work we see a lot of issues for correspondence, sometimes they return things as undeliverable when the address is actually very clear. When I ordered from WE direct I emailed them to tell them it is a bad move to use USPS along with requiring a signature. There's a good chance the mail carrier won't know how their own system works so it will force their customers to make a special trip to go to the post office and wait in line unless they're always working from home or have the package delivered where there's someone to sign. I'm sorry but it's almost like they have a test that only admits people with lower IQ to get the job, it's just so bad across the board even if it's a bit better sometimes in some places.
They literally do not care (any of them!) anymore.I’ve camped out by the front door all day only to find a notice on my front door of a failed delivery attempt because no one was home. I never heard the doorbell (it works) or heard knocking.
Another mailman would ring the bell and turn right around and leave. I had to chase him down the street to get my package and tell him he needs to wait at least a few seconds to give me time to answer the door…
I also don’t want to make a trip to the post office.
I caught a UPS driver doing that. Saw him through the window walking up to the door and headed him off.They literally do not care (any of them!) anymore.
I now have cameras at the front door, over the driveway, and one that can see my mailbox. It's maddening when they say delivery attempted, etc. and I have proof on camera that they never actually tried. What's complete crap is when they get out of their truck with a NOTE in-hand instead of a package, and stick that to the door without trying to deliver a package!!!! I recently had that happen for a non-signature-required delivery! WHY??? Derp!!!
