You have to be kidding! The USPS is a disaster and barely works. I'm about to cancel my prime membership because Amazon started using the USPS although Amazon have finally got the message at least for my account and rarely use them now. Look up Prime and USPS if you want to see pages and pages just how bad service is with the USPS.
I used to think people like you had to be lying, because my service with the USPS in the Minneapolis area growing up was absolutely stellar. The value on the dollar was by far the best, and the friendly counter agents would help you figure out how to ship something the way you want.
Then I moved to Chicago and understood why the USPS gets such a bad rap. Lines a mile long, counter agents that can be called uncaring at best, tons of misdelivered/undelivered mail, etc. It was like two entirely different services.
I'm since back in Minneapolis and the USPS here is just as reliable as UPS or Fedex. 9 out of 10 packages arrive on time, which is about average for all of them.
Huh. I live in the cities and have always been happy with USPS and am always baffled by other peoples' complaints about it. Interesting to know it's because our local service is outstanding.
SmartPost and SurePost? Yeah, if I see that I call Amazon and tell them to cancel the order because basically I will not get the package. They simply refuse to bring packages to my door, even though according to the regulations they have to. I've tried talking to the local post master, but he avoids me ('he's in a meeting', 'I'll have him call you', 'Yeah, don't wait because he'll be awhile'). What's funny is that Amazon now has a special Sunday delivery service through the USPS and somehow they get delivered, but any other day of the week they do not.
It's so bad, confusing and illogical sometimes I just laugh at the situation. But, it's only a situation that can happen in a government agency.
