USPS Sucks...and so do I...

[smcfalls13]

I've never had any problems with USPS until this week. Early this week I found out a package that should have arrived last week was lost in transit. Another should have arrived today, and hasn't.

Today I found out that two of the five packages I sent out monday have been "returned to the sender on March 20, 2006 because of an incorrect address."

I sent them out on the 20th, so if they were returned, they should have been back yesterday. Today is come and gone and I have yet to see them. Fortunately I insured both of the missing packages, and if USPS doesn't cough them up, I WILL get my compensation.

I checked the addresses against the paypal invoices as well, so I know I didn't make a mistake writing them.

Thanks to the buyer who brought it to my attention, and I apologize for the mishap. I've also notified one other buyer who is effected by the screw up.

Sorry guys.

I ordered a knife and got delayed (or lost) by USPS. I have yet to received... Is hard to deal with the situation b/c the dealer keeps telling me to wait and wait and it has been two weeks (Priority!!!). It was insured but I still have no knife (or money back yet).

usps sucks rocks! I've had more than my share of problems with them. Just recently I received a package that's been sent to me almost a year ago. Morons.

That's going to be my problem. It was sent priority, and supposedly returned to me the same day I sent it. If I were a dealer I'd just send a replacement, and worry about recovering the missing knives later. But I don't have replacements for them, and getting the insurance money requires me to wait at least 30 days before I can even file.

I'm not going to make the buyers wait that long. That's just ridiculous to penalize them for something I'm responsible for. I'll wait a few more days, and if nothing turns up I'll give both buyers refunds. The whole reason I sold the knives was to raise money to pay the bills, and now I'm in the hole even more.

I wouldn't worry so much, if I knew where the packages were, but USPS doesn't even let me know if the packages are in my state or not.
