Re: Please let me chose USPS
Just an update re USPS. I put 6 shocks in a box and mailed it out of Central Point Oregon at 11:30AM, on the the ninth, Friday (1/9/2015).
It arrived in Ohio today Monday, 1/9/2015 and was delivered at 1:00PM. Those 6 shocks are heavy. Shipping cost $12.65.

Re: Please let me chose USPS
That was my friend Frank from Central Point who delivered it. He was taking vacation and was heading to Ohio anyway so he just took it along. BTW, he said thanks for the $12.65.............

Re: Please let me chose USPS
I am still waiting for a parcel posted i Phoenix on 16th December last year. Here is a section of the tracking report. Noice that it was in the LA sorting facility for 1 day short of 7 weeks. Since 29th Jan, it has been enroute to its destination but it hasn't even arrived in Australia yet. That is, it is still i the possession of USPS
Shipment Activity Location Date & Time ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Departed USPS Facility LOS ANGELES, CA 90009 January 29, 2015 11:41 pm Arrived at USPS Facility LOS ANGELES, CA 90009 December 12, 2014 11:43 pm Pretty rubbish, IMHO

Re: Please let me chose USPS
I am still waiting for a parcel posted in Phoenix Az on 16th December last year. here is part of the tracking report. Note that it spent 1 day short of 7 weeks in the LA sorting facility. Since 29th Jan, it has been in their possession on its way to the destination but it hasn't even entered Australia yet. Can't complain about the cervice - there is none!

I've had a lot of great service from the UPSO. Sadly, I've also have had some doozy, horrible service. I've found that, even when they are at fault, that insurance they sell you is a bag of promise and more trouble then it's worth to collect on it. |

Re: Please let me chose USPS
Had a good laugh today. Been waiting for a package for over a week now being shipped via USPS. Checked tracking today to see where it was. It actually moved 4.1 miles from one PO to another, both in California, both ~15 miles from my house...
Now I have to wait until monday to see where it goes... USPS is the worst... |

Re: Please let me chose USPS
I didn't point out in my earlier post that here we are at 2nd March and USPS still has the parcel "on its way to the destination" a whole 32 days after even that 41 days. It's now 80 days since it arrived at the Cal sorting depot and they still have it - somewhere but can't say where. What's the point of tracking??

Re: Please let me chose USPS
I've found USPS tracking pretty useless. I bought some tire chains that came two weeks ago and the tracking still shows them on the way. Other tracking has been several days at some post office before it moves again.

Re: Please let me chose USPS
Not being in the US, USPS won't talk to me. All I have is the online tracking site and the item number. From now on, I'm inclined to buy from the local guy and leave USPS out of it altogether. I am also waiting on a shipment by surface (much cheaper but slower - well, maybe not!) but the industrial strife in the west coast ports has it all tied up too. I'm not happy with the situation in the US at the moment. That said, I definitely DON"T want to offend any of you.
The port strike has been going on for months. A similar thing happened here a few years ago but the government backed the employers and broke the strike. Is something like that not possible under US law??? How does USPS stay in business??? Is it because it is government owned. The Australian Post Office is soon to be privatised. Watchem lift their game then!

Re: Please let me chose USPS
Have you checked with customs in your country? Sometimes there are major delays because of customs.
