    Amazon shipping

    We have Prime and most orders are here in 1 to 2 days if delivered by Amazon, when they use the USPS it's cross your fingers and hope it comes someday! After reading here on the forum about Members Mark peanuts I ordered some on the 12th. the tracking now say's maybe by Wed. of next week with the USPS.

    Good luck. My last Amazon order shipped via USPS showed delivered but never made it to my house.
    There's lots of decaffeinated brands that are just as tasty as the real thing.

    My son delivers for USPS strictly Amazon packages, he said it’s a solid fuster cluck that starts at the top and trickles down. The people who sort are idiots, and the scanners they use are junk. When you mix in the IDGAF attitude it’s more than a shit show, USPS has moved their delivery start time from 8 to now 10am before they leave out for their day and he usually doesn’t get done till 8-9pm and he only works on Sunday. He hates it and is looking for a different job.

    My regular mail carrier delivers the Amazon packages here unless it's a Sunday delivery then the little white postal jeeps bring them.

    Usps has had issues with a few of my Amazon orders. Some i never received and had to be reordered. Amazon is always quick to inform me of my options when there is a problem.

    Just had a chat with Amazon about that very thing. I asked if they could ship with another carrier and they told me Amazon could not choose another shipper. They picked USPS to screw me over the first time why can't they pick a different carrier?

    What I don’t understand is how can USPS be so inefficient that you can mail package for a destination 30miles away and it take over a week to be delivered.

    yet we can order tackle from a Japanese website, have it literally traverse halfway around the world, and it be delivered in 3 days?

    My understanding is that USPS was never operated to deliver packages. They deliver mail. They got into package delivery to grab some of the money going to other shippers. Their revenue went up but they operate at a bigger loss since they cannot figure out package delivery. Typical govt.

    USPS has been on the fritz lately...............for myself anyway. UPS is not far behind and FedEx...............well let's say they are not at the top of my list either.

    Is it one of those new electric chit box with funky label in the front make by who know who? I was surprised to see them deliver on Sunday anyway worst of all stuck infront of my drive. My wife needs to get out, so I walk 300' to it and he says it just stopped. I asked if he needs a jump, but he says it's electric, wtf, so I told him we need to move it till whoever is coming to pick it up comes. Got my JD 3520 and dragged him out of my way, and stayed there most of the day till flatbed wrecker came and picked it up. I hope the packages didn't get lost in transport?

    Well Nuts!
    If professionals who's careers depend on catching fish use FFS then that's what I'm using. Might be too simple of a philosophy but makes sense to me.

    Recently I went to the post office to deliver an envelope.
    The clerk told me "it's too heavy, it needs another stamp".
    I said, "how the hell is another stamp gonna make it lighter?"
    Crazy

    No sir, it’s the old style shitbox. He had two break down in a day a couple weeks ago, side mirror fall off one day etc….. just pure junk and monkeys running the circus.

    Hit or miss lately. Most time it’s pretty OK. Ordered a dishwasher part for my mom yesterday. Said delivery between 21-23 May. Got a text 10 min ago saying between 1000-1300 today.

    i’ve had good luck with Amazon most of the time. The USPS sent one Amazon package to the right house number, wrong street. I got one for somebody else that way. That’s 2 mix ups over the years and we corrected the problem ourselves.

    (Edit: The part showed up at 0915. Fedex)

    When buying on Amazon look at the "Sold by Ship by". If it says sold by and ship by another company name other than Amazon it can be shipped via USPS since the vendor is making the shipping choice instead of Amazon.
