[QUOTE="PippSqueak, post: 1084973, member: 45711"] I wholeheartedly agree with you on the fact that postal service is completely a waste of time in the sense of handing off packages to them when UPS is fully capable of delivering on time. I have noticed this many times when ordering packages. I do know that FedEx still has the same system going as well with Smartpost. From what my husband (Package Driver for UPS) has been told is that the Postal Service is contracted to have a certain amount of packages are required to be sorted by them. To compensate for that UPS is required to give packages to the Postal Service. Why this is? I have no idea. I'm guessing the Postal Service was losing sales and close to closing down that they got their way. All I know is that they are a lazy company and my husband has delivered packages to the Postal Service Office and gone back two days later and they are still sitting in the same spot he left them. You have no control over this happening unless you pay for two day delivery or sooner. I also have watched the Postman decide not to get out of his little truck and bring my package to the door and instead leaves a note in the mailbox requesting that I come down to the office to claim my package. I can see the package in his hand! So I agree completely with your frustrations and wish that there was a way to reverse this situation but, until the collapse of the Postal Service does happen, I think we are stuck with the late and slow receiving times of packages. Definitely something UPS would frown upon. [/QUOTE]
