shipping woes, Grrrr

[pjtoledo]

ordered a part from California recently.
despite the weather it arrived at the local UPS in good time.
it was free shipping/package delivery and was to be handed off the USPS for local delivery, about 10 miles.

UPS tracking says it was handed over to USPS 5 days ago,
USPS tracking says it's still waiting on package from UPS.

Grrr

I just had USPS deliver my welder wire I had ordered with the one spool completely out of the mangled box it was shipped in… I should get a pic of this disaster…

Abolish USPS. Absolute waste of taxpayer money. I'll pay extra, every time, to use FedEx or UPS.

I'd be surprised if you ever get that package.

At times, FedEx and UPS aren’t any better than the postal service.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, a big problem with the USPS is that the union protects the lazy employees and has things so locked down that the extra help they hire during the holidays is only used for grunt work, you aren’t allowed to operate any equipment and the equipment is badly dated anyway.

before I retired the main post office in Toledo had some equipment I maintained. 'nuff said.

this package is (was?) a footlong hydraulic ram so breaking out of the box is certainly possible.
