UPS vs USPS - Page 2

Ah, the Clowns in Brown are at it again . . . . Feral Rejects and the United States Postal Stooges have all screwed me royally at some point or another. It's like being stuck between Scylla and Charybdis. You just can't win. Sometimes I think my packages would be better off going Pony Express.

You would most likely find the pony express cheaper as well

If you'd be honest you'd admit that the poor reputation of the USPS is certainly justified in many cases. I stand by my criticisms based upon experience.

My favourite USPS horror story concerns my neighbourhood mail delievery person who was caught by the Feds with about 350 lbs. of undelivered mail in his home. Over the course of his short career, instead of delivering the mail, he horded it and was violating the privacy of the people on his route by reading their letters. And here all my friends assumed that I was just being a callous asshole by forgetting to send them their Christmas and birthday greetings.

And then there was the time I lived in the Sunset District of San Francisco. The mail courriers were actually forced to work Sundays (yes, you are reading this correctly) as punishment for some colossal f**k-ups that they perpetrated.

My experiences with the USPS have been downhill ever since, hovering somewhere between subpar and abyssmal.

I couldn't teach you anything about perfection because I have no claims to being perfect, but as someone with a strong work ethic I sure in the Hell could teach you boys something about doing your best consistantly without making lame excuses.

Hey I work for UPS and I agree. UPS sucks!
I much prefer USPS to deliver stuff, but hate them when it comes to trying to resolve damages, where as UPS or FedEx will fix it with compensation or full reimbursement without much hassle like USPS. But yeah USPS when I send out stuff.
