Re: Please let me chose USPS
For the heavy or large shipments Fastenal can't be beat. Pallets up to 1000 lbs. or so coast to coast distance around $175 or there abouts. Downside is that shipping time can be up to 2 weeks as this is back haul shipping. I have received 4 shipments of antique engines with one shipment of 3 engines about 950 Lbs. and 400 miles for $175 - never a problem with damage. I think continental USA only.

Re: Please let me chose USPS
Could we just please, Please, Please stop all these posts about shipping? There's a new one every other day and there's never any resolution. I like A you like B we don't like C. Almost All packages are delivered safely and correctly. None of these posts get a damn thing done except push valuable posts further down the page.
UPS and FedEx ship 25 million packages a day. USPS processes 523 million pieces of mail a day. Stop already. Last edited by 5window; 03-18-2015 at 09:53 PM. |

Re: Please let me chose USPS
3 Months now since my parcel was posted and still nothing. USPS tracking says it is on its way to the destination. Really?!?!

Re: Please let me chose USPS
Yes, The USPS tracking number is recorded when an item enters the country. It is given a new number by our Post Office so they can track it. That is, by cross referencing the two numbers, it is trackable all the way. They checked whether it had been scanned yet while I waited on the phone. Nothing! It hasn't entered the country yet so its still in USPS hands. I'm wondering whether the strike on your west coast ports has affected USPS services as well even though it should be sent air mail. Either way, I'm not happy.

Regardless, it puts the USPS in a difficult position. Was it scanned but then lost at the 90009 building before getting on the plane, lost on the plane or lost in Australia? The package may have sat for 42 days at 90009 before being shown as departed but it could not have been shown with that status without in fact being scanned in. Each successive scan shows another step in the journey.

Re: Please let me chose USPS
Last time I sent an international package (from Alaska to UK), it was last scanned in LA & then no more until actual delivery, which I didn't get notice of (from the Post Office) until a month after the recipient told me they got the package.

Re: Please let me chose USPS
How come the USPS never lost draft notices back in the late 60's

Re: Please let me chose USPS
When I order parts from parts suppliers, I specify that they are to be sent USPS. I have no problem at all with the USPS.

Yesterday, May 29? Sounds like an episode from the old TV show "The Twilight Zone."
