I think it is OK to complain when bad things happen, but I also believe it is right to say when things go exceed your best expectations.
Here is my short story: I traded a knife for another knife last Friday evening with a gentleman from California (I am in Florida), and we agreed to ship the knives the next morning. So I go to the P.O. on Saturday morning and spend around 9$ to have the knife shipped with Priority Mail (+insurance & tracking) to the other Sunshine State. I am told that it should arrive the next Tuesday, which I found a very optimistic estimate.
Guess what: this Monday morning at 10.30 the mailman brings my new knife to my home, and a couple of hours later my counterpart receives his knife too.
Not only do I find it amazing that USPS actually beat their estimated delivery time by a day, but that they did it for two packages going in opposite directions.
I'll never criticize the Postal Service again (at least, not until the next time they screw up).
