I sent a package priority mail from Seattle to Los Angeles on Monday. According to tracking it didn’t leave Seattle until Wednesday. It has yet to be delivered. And you can’t get a refund.
On December 4th I ordered a package of specialty labels from a label distributor to place on bottles of homemade Belgian ale that were meant as Christmas gifts to be handed out at a work party the 19th. The company mailed the labels on the 6th via First Class Mail; by the seventeenth they had still not arrived. I contacted the company who opined that the labels had either been lost or misdelivered. They immediately sent a replacement shipment via UPS. Today the original order arrived, more than two weeks after shipment. USPS is a joke.
Yea...i stopped using priority around Christmas time a few years back when a package from Virginia to Houston Texas did not get delivered by Christmas eve...and I mailed it on the 16th of December that year.
We run an Ebay business. Use Priority as it is dirt cheap compared to UPS or Fedex and the 2-3 day service is really good.
The one thing we learned about Priority is never pay for Priority at the post office and they will triple the bill. We either use Stamps.com or Ebay’s shipping option but I swear the scales at the post office have been manipulated.
It’s Christmas-What do you expect? The other 50 weeks of the year, USPS does an incredibly good job. Most of the Priority Mail I’ve sent has arrived in two days—including coast to coast!
Amazon shipped my package by mail on 28 November and it hasn’t arrived yet
