USPS rant

[Dutch]

It is no wonder that they operate in the red.  I need a new bobbin for my RTD.  I ordered some and was sent an email with tracking.  It was picked up in Denton TX.  12 hours later it got to Fort Worth TX.  From there it was sent to Irving TX.  At this rate a pack on a donkey would be faster.  Rant over.

                I agree it is a mess as is Fed X and UPS. Half the time I order something from Amazon it is taken by UPS to the post office and the post office delivers it to me a day late. There is an agreement between UPS and Post office for this. Nothing but being lazy because there might not be other deliveries in my immediate area. We are at the mercy of all these delivery systems. Don't get me started on Fed X. They really, really make me mad. Never heard so many excuses for delays. What good is tracking? 

   Rant over!

It seems to depend on which direction your package is coming from.   Things arriving from the South or West take a direct path to my shop.  Things coming from the North or East will bounce all over the country before eventually being dropped here. 

I can receive an order from California quicker than I can get things from St.Louis.

It takes longer now that my Dog has learned to jump a fence and Delivery People are tasty.

That's a good way to loose your dog that hopefully you care about. 😒 Might as well get started digging a hole to bury him/her in.     

 

These hicks around here that think it's awesome to have an aggressive Pitbull.....need to be smashed in the head with a disc brake rotor.

Interesting he just likes Delivery People but I got him from a UPS Driver.

Back in December/Jan timeframe, I had a stretch where USPS managed to lose 11/14 packages all from Amazon. After 2 or 3 in a row, I started writing down the tracking thinking maybe, just maybe they were stuck somewhere in a corner and someone would find them and after Amazon replaced the items I would double up but nothing yet. 

Makes me wonder how large shipping losses really are.

I just got all my neighbor's mail.😎

I had UPS leave a package in a shed instead of finding our house.

Had to go find a Rifle one time that was to be signed for. It was put in an abandoned house.

My Dog is smart it won’t be hard to train him.
