Having a frustrating afternoon with work. Then I came across this. The USPS is bleeding cash and here is a company I do business with, explaining why they are switching to FedEx. And the USPS answer is to cancel Saturday delivery as a solution. Perhaps this 'business' should listen to their customers:
we tried the US Postal
service Priority Mail, but
we got too many complaints from our customers about many
issues. The main issues were: it took too long to be delivered
(in some cases more than a month!) or NEVER delivered, packages arrived
damaged (probably because in many countries, the package is passed on to a
third party service) and the biggest issue that customers had was there
was no real time tracking, so you never knew where your box was.
Then from our standpoint, when the product is lost, it is almost
impossible to collect on the insurance that we purchased. This causes
significant problems for us since we make limited edition product and most
of items are sold out, so we do not have any “extras.” Also, the cost
of items are very expensive when they lose the package.
This is so true. Shipping a lot for the hubby I can not believe the stuff I go through for shipping with the USPS. One nice thing is in some international countries they are guaranteed to be there and if not we get our postage back. But dealing with them is terrible. But ups and fedex are more expensive.
