I find it hard to believe that it is taking you 6 days to deliver a piece of priority mail from Raleigh to Charlotte.


what. the. fuck.

1/13/2012 1:06:20 PM

They are near bankrupt. Just be glad you even get mail still..

1/13/2012 1:08:42 PM

my lease check makes it to Long Beach, CA in 4 days or less every month. i'm not asking for much.

1/13/2012 1:10:07 PM

and I was wondering when my priority package coming from LA would get to Charlotte...I'm at day 6 now. guess I may be waiting a while longer

1/13/2012 1:20:16 PM

is your friend sending it?

are they REAALLY sending it?

1/13/2012 2:01:56 PM

a tww user is sending it.

1/13/2012 2:03:51 PM

i like to pretend i sent something via usps but never actually send it

"well, must have got lost in the mail, what do ya expect!"

1/13/2012 2:11:06 PM

lafta is mailing him $5

1/13/2012 2:18:43 PM

I have a package that I ordered from eBay that has been sitting at the "Greensboro Sorting Facility" for 3 days. PUT THAT SHIT ON THE TRUCK, YO!

1/13/2012 2:25:52 PM

wtf, i got a package from kings mtn, nc to raleigh overnight for 5 dollar bucks with usps

1/13/2012 3:33:25 PM

They are near bankrupt. Just be happy if they don't rob YOU when they deliver your package

1/13/2012 4:06:42 PM

Those motherless fucks absolutely DESTROYED a package I sent home to myself from overseas--like, it sounded like a baby rattle when I picked it up. Then, even though I had insurance on it, they wouldn't pay a cent on it because they couldn't verify the value of the contents (I didn't have the receipt, and it wasn't the sort of thing they could just look up on Amazon.com or whatever).

I explained to them that it shouldn't fucking matter what the value of the contents were; I paid an insurance premium for X-amount of coverage, and they completely demolished the item. Tried 2 different post offices; no luck.

That's been a few years ago; I have not shipped anything with USPS ever since, and I never will. I mail letters with them, but that's it. Fuck USPS; when they finally go under it will be good riddance.

Maybe fedex will send your letters for a quarter

1/13/2012 4:33:20 PM

I have a friend that is in the Reserves and works for the post office delivering mail. With both of those jobs, he makes more per year than I do......and is pretty much set for life when he retires (with both military and USPS pensions). Dude has his G.E.D.

He just volunteered for his 3rd deployment to the Middle East (this time 6 months in Kuwait....a cake walk) and he will get $40k tax free, plus have his cushy USPS job waiting for him when he gets back. Double-dipping in the Federal wallet FTW.

I am not hating on him by any means though. In fact, I am pretty jealous that he figured out a way to make a nearly 6-figure income consisting of jobs where he pretty much just sits around all the time.

1/13/2012 4:43:11 PM

i wouldn't go sit in kuwait for 6 mos for $40k

1/13/2012 4:45:02 PM

I sure as shit would, especially tax free

1/13/2012 4:46:04 PM

Don't think I've ever had a bad experience with USPS. Never a damaged package. Never a lost letter (from my end, at least).

1/13/2012 6:04:27 PM

the flat rate boxes are pretty nice for some stuff.

1/13/2012 6:09:13 PM

convenient, yes. rip-off? yes

1/13/2012 6:10:13 PM

I don't understand how the USPS is still around.... the only thing most people mail are bills,packages, cards and advertisements. Bills are being paid more and more online, and UPS and FEDEX will mail packages for cheaper...

I'd love to dissolve the whole thing, but a lot of people think that's not realistic.

1/13/2012 6:13:21 PM

^^cheapest way i've found to ship lead

i said some stuff

1/13/2012 6:21:02 PM

if money is an issue, just call j g wentworth

1/13/2012 6:23:28 PM

The U.S. Postal Service has received electronic notification from our Automated Postal Center (APC) in RALEIGH, NC 27606 on January 08, 2012 to expect your shipment for mailing.

1/13/2012 7:12:47 PM

day 8. let's see what happens.

1/16/2012 11:31:28 AM

yeah... dude i sent my turbo to the mid west in a flat rate box... they had it the next day.


i smell fish.

somebody probably knew it was vidja games and took it home themselves. either that or my mailman is Newman

1/16/2012 11:43:33 AM

see... expecting a shipment for mailing also doesn't mean it was mailed right ?

1/16/2012 12:00:20 PM

For ups, fedex, and usps that would usually be correct. However with usps's notoriously slow updates that could be still in transit somewhere. Most times for me (when I use usps priority) it shows that statement, no change for a day or two, then only changes when it was delivered.

1/16/2012 1:08:40 PM

yeah, that's what i've grown accustomed to when dealing with USPS as well. but a ~180 mile trip for a Certified Mail package taking more than 4 days is absurd.

forgot USPS is closed for famous black guy day. so day 9 will be tomorrow.

1/16/2012 1:19:26 PM

So yeah, my package finally arrived on Saturday. I watched the bitch just open her door and drop it in the middle of my driveway (like she has done in the past). She couldn't even get her lazy ass out of the car and put it on my porch.

I have filed a complaint with my local post office, I am sure they will address it immediately....

man the PO in the federal building in downtown raleigh has always been good to me.

My gma gets stuff shipped from there 2 days max and she's in BFE NY.

1/16/2012 1:21:35 PM

877 CASH NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

1/16/2012 1:23:14 PM

A package that shipped Dec 16 via USPS arrived at my home on January 12th. No, I didn't not select the 1 month or less delivery option.

1/16/2012 1:38:51 PM

at least it's not uncommon. USPS has always been the slowest shipping company when I order online but i just assumed a p2p package the size of a letter wouldn't be an issue.

1/16/2012 1:42:24 PM

I ship in excess of 1000 packages a year with USPS and have had very few problems. I love to see you guys complain though, cause its people like who who the post office really cares about.

It took USPS nearly a month to send a package and you don't think I should complain?

1/16/2012 3:14:22 PM

i could go for a who who chocolate drink

1/16/2012 3:26:50 PM

It is the fucking mail. They have been doing this shit since the 1700's, you'd think they would be the best in the biz.

1/16/2012 3:33:59 PM

need more Kevin Costner

1/16/2012 3:37:06 PM

You see, my dear Jeepin4x4, all certified mail is registered... but registered mail is not necessarily certified.

1/16/2012 3:43:12 PM

Goodnight, sweet prince

1/16/2012 3:43:49 PM

it's listed as Certified on the tracker. and if that means you need signature confirmation i'm going to rage.


also, I have another package being shipped via USPS from Amazon that supposedly left today with target delivery on Friday. If this one arrives first i'm going to double rage.

1/16/2012 3:55:54 PM

Its a free service- do it yourself if you don't like it

I'm Krallum and I approved this message.

1/16/2012 3:59:09 PM

i'm pretty sure i am doing it myself. I am the receiver.

1/16/2012 4:01:38 PM

if by free you mean you pay postage fees, then yes, free
