I'm going to start of by saying I am very sorry for venting about them. I'm just getting very sick and tired of wasting my $$ which I don't have much to get my 3Bearded Dragons food & then not even being able to feed them the food because USPS messes up & also sorry for my grammar because Im mad and in a rush to type this so Im sure I will mess up alot more then normal, and also sorry for how long it will be!
Everytime I order a package, I check the Track & Confirm a few times day to make sure everything is going smoothly. Everytime that I see that its Out For Delivery in my home town, I always walk my dog around the same time & catch the Mailman a few hours earlier then usual and get my package. Yesterday Track & Confirm said it was Out For Delivery at 8:31am. I was happy to finally get Pheonix Worms for the first time. I got 500 for 28$ total! So I walk my dog at 1:30pm and I see the Mailman, I say Hi to him and we BS for a few minutes & then I tell him I should have a package. He says that he didnt see one for me today.....I thought that was weird, but he checks anyway and no there is nothing for me. So I figured because the sorting and everything usually gets finished at like 7 7:30am from what Track & Confirm tells me, and this time it didn't till 8:30am, that maybe he didn't get the package intime so I'll get it tomorrow. I was bummed because I really wanted to get them and make sure there alive (we all know what its like ordering insects and worrying if there survive or not). So I go back home for the day, I was home all day long sitting with my animals on the computer doing things around the house. At 9pm I figured I would check Track & Confirm again. It says there was a Notice left at my door at 4:14pm that the Mailman tried to deliver the package to me. I thought that was weird because I asked him and he said there was nothing, and everytime he gets to my house if Im not there he always just leaves it at the door for me. & I also checked both my doors and there was no Notice. I also walked around checking my neighbors doors because I live in the Projects so we have alot of buildings and doors and thought he might of made a simple mistake. There was nothing. I proceeded with going online to Set up for Re-Delivery like the website told me to, after a hour of many attempts of filling out what I need to, it would not let me submit the information. So I decided I'll wake up the azz crack of dawn and call them nice and early for they can make sure the package gets sent out with the mailman. I wake up at 8am after finally getting to bed at 6am......I call USPS hotline. The lady was very nice and said that they probably scanned the wrong item, that my package was in Stratford CT post office that I would beable to go and pick it up. So I go back to sleep till 10am and wake up and head to Stratford which is a 15minutes drive. I get there and talk to someone to find out....MY PACKAGE ISNT THERE! That they must of not updated there website because in April they use to have all the mailman in my area go to Stratfords Post Office daily for there route, but sense April they now have them go to the Post Office near my house. So now Im alittle mad that I wasted gas that I dont have, but the lady was very nice so I headed to the Post Office she told me it would be at. I get there get in line and Im called up (now this where it gets good). I tell the lady what happen and she says okay and goes to get my package. after10minutes of waiting she comes back with a man who happens be the manager, explaining they cant find it blah blah blah, now Im reallllly mad, & Im a hot head as it is, I always seem to SWING before THINKING. I goahead and yell "This is f-ing BS this 5th time this month you guys have messed up with my packages!" and after I said that a huge man behind me who happens to just be a good customer and citizen comes up behind me and puts his arm on my shoulder and says "You need to chill out" as he has money in his hand, I turn around and poke him in the chest and say "You touch me one more time your need to use that money to get a prosthetic arm bro" The manager calms me down and I apologize for everything & explain that this has happened 5times just in 1month and my animals need to suffer everytime you guys mess up. I leave my number with them & they say they will call me if they find it.....
Now like I said, this is the 5th time in ONE MONTH something like this has happened with USPS. A Few packages did get successfully delivered to my house to though. USPS is in Debt because of how bad they are, alot of people know it, but because there the cheapest to use, and lots of us rather save money then spend money which is hard to do with reptiles, we always choose USPS.
Has anyone else have similar problems with using them which Im sure alot of you have???
