I can't deliver faster than the USPS for the same price. No gripes or complaints from me.

Thanks, Dinny

I once sent a Leupy scope to Idaho by way of Priority Mail, it took 6 days to get there. The box was in fine shape and no damage to the scope.

I was pretty upset.

I can deliver what I sent faster that's for sure. I could have easily walked the 1550 miles round trip CO to MO in 40 days! Might not have been cheaper, but I'd be a lot skinnier by the time I made it back. I'd be ready to tear up elk/deer season hiking after averaging nearly 40 miles a day with a pack.

Several years ago I sent a Colt Python to Colt for an action tune up. Upon returnFed Ex left the package laying on the steps of my front entry. No notice of delivery or anything. Discovered the box on the steps in plain view of the street when I got home from the store.

My latest horror stories with USPS....

Sold an item, took 22 days for the m/o to arrive from Tx.

Mailed a triangle priority mail box to Tx, took 26 days.

Mailed a box to Denver, took 15 days priority.

Mailed a priority package 136 miles from me, took 6 days.

Another package 150 from me, took 8 days.

I recommend Spee-Dee delivery if they service your midwest area:

Maybe it's been said already, but I found out the hard way just today that my local PO is now closed over the lunch hr. When I returned @ 1 ( Not even a sign explaining) ... I asked if it was nationwide and she said yes, but this is the first I've heard about it all. I was told there's a new postmaster general, and he's shaking things up. Taking people off the job when they're already overrun should certainly shake things up.

In my experiance if you send packages priority with tracking they move pretty fast. If you cheap out on the postage they don't. Non- priority means they sit until they can get to it.
The new Postmaster eliminated overtime so there are probably some pissed employees that are working even slower than usual.

I don't know about that, but do know eliminiating overtime means they have to quit for the day at a certain time, even if there's still a bunch of mail and packages sitting there to deliver.

I was told a M.O. I purchased and sent for payment was declared counterfeit, and confiscated. Later they changed their mind and cashed it.

This all started soon after the new PMG took over on June 15. Before then our mail delivery was very good, even in our small Montana town. In July I bought a scope from a campfire member in the Seattle area. Sent him a MO, which would normally arrive there in 2-3 days. It took 6.

It also took 12 days for the scope, mailed priority, to arrive here. I can drive to Seattle in a long day.

I have noticed over the past 2 years that shipping flat rate isn't as fast as it was or should be.

Guys, it’s the elimination of overtime at the distribution plants that is causing the problems. Everything that arrives at the office goes out that day.

USPS has been terrible this year. I've had multiple packages sitting idle for way too long and no tracking updates whatsoever. One of my last packages shipped from Texas and went to Anchorage Alaska and the finally found its way home to me in Wisconsin. How the F does that happen?

Employee sabotage because they're not getting their extra OT pay they were counting on?
