Im about to go friggin postal on the postal service

Post by GoMachV »

wtf USPS, the site has been broken for years (cant print international unless you want priority mail) now the Paypal workaround is gone too. Im done, im out. Im sorry to say but my sales will be domestic only unless the buyer is willing to pay the crazy priority fees. I cant wait in line at the post office during the week, i work

sorry to my international friends, but its not like they are going to fix it anytime soon :(

You can print first class? I haven't ever been able to on usps....option is only priority. Now on paypal the options are only for letter and large envelope as of today. Give it a try and let me know if it's just mine that's broken!

Slightly off-topic but I've started to have various problems with the USPS ever since moving. The newest one being sometimes I won't get a package on the day it's supposed to be delivered. It will say the typical "OUT FOR DELIVERY" but won't show up. Then at the end of the day the status will change to say "NOTICE LEFT (NO SECURE LOCATION AVAILABLE)" which is completely false. The first time it happened I went to the post office to see what was going on and they didn't have a clue. They said to wait and see if the package shows up the next day and it did. It's happened several times since then, and the package always shows up the next day. The only thing I can figure is the postal carrier isn't delivering all their packages that particular day for whatever reason, and that's the excuse they select in the computer to get out of it and not get into trouble. It sucks because now I have to wait an extra day sometimes to receive a package for no reason.

So basically, I feel your pain!

Everyone's packages got labels and were waiting in the mailbox today, unfortunately my postal worker is an ass and didn't take em! I got him on video looking and deciding it was too much work!!!! I'm going to have a talk with my postmaster Monday. This is crap

Wow!

Over here it's nothing like that

Home mail gets delivered every three days

If it's a business address then it's to a po box ( which I got to clear )

You still have to take it to the post office or shipping company to get it sent

what about the delivery guy that only gives you about 5 seconds to answer the door! you hear the doorbell ring and you literally get up and walk to the door and by the time you get there(no more than a few seconds) the driver is already in his van driving off and you have one of those sorry we missed you stickers on the door!

I had another delivery left in my backyard. it was just packaging sent to me for a warranty return for a home theater receiver so I could send the unit back in secure packaging. nice of the company to send that to me free of charge. didn't notice it was back there. have no clue how long it was there but it eventually got rained on and ruined the packaging.

Not to be contradictory, but my mail carrier is a sweet, attractive blonde woman. When I have packages delivered, she walks them up the path to the front door and hides them behind the planter so they can't be seen from the street. Also, she's always here between 11 and noon every day. Best mail carrier ever!
