I missed a delivery and they left a note saying that I could have it left at the nearest post office. Drove up there and picked it up.

This happens to often, I expect it to now. Each time I does I bitch on Amazon livechat and they give me free Prime membership to shut me up.

USPS is the biggest fuckign scam on the god damn planet, they're horrible.

Amazon rents usps trucks to deliver on sundays

>>51247757
Ups and fedex are great, with ups you can pick up your package if it required a signature and you missed it. Just go to their warehouse when they unload the trucks. Shit's pretty cool.

I work on weekends so I place my orders on weekends and they get there before friday, as the pre-shipping phase usually takes a day or 2 anyway and it's automated.

>>51247828
shit dude, don't you have to use the free trial of prime to get that *Order now and get it on xxxxday" ? Otherwise it's just standard free shipping.

I have to respectfully disagree anon. Every time I have a package delievered by UPS they either deliver it to the wrong address, constantly change the expected arrival date, and/or always take about 3 years to give me my package. USPS is blazing fast for a great price desu.

I hate usps dude

I live in the boonies and mail is consistent locally but it gets clogged enroute. UPS just drops it off and if I miss them and it requires a signature i can just go pick it up.

I was waiting on my case to show up for a build and that was the last piece. I'm like what the fuck and I checked it was delivered. They dropped it off on the front of the house we never use. Well hidden and whatnot. Turns out it was sitting there for like 2 days

no, it's the way the house is set up all foot traffic is usually through the garage and not the front door. But it's not apparent because we have this sidewalk that goes over there, idk why they do go over there whatever.

Oh lmao, they drop it off in the front of the house, an area we don't typically use.

USPS is notorious for this kind of bullshit.

Delivery fulfillment by Amazon, since the partnership with USPS, has be atrocious. It's been so bad for some people that they've threatened to, or cancelled their prime.

If I select 1 day and pay $30 for that shipping, it better fucking be at my door in 24 hours.

USPS is also the shittiest of all delivery services.

Is there no way to force Amazon to not prefer usps? Its always fucked, UPS and FedEx work fine.

Mixed results with smaller carriers, my apartment complex seems to confused them even thought he gate code is in my Amazon profile to share with them.
>>
>>51252973
I've seen that you can gripe to their support repeatedly to get them to place USPS as the lowest possible priority when it comes to delivery companies.

They'll tell you 'no' repeatedly, but jut be persistent. Threaten with cancelling prime.

wut
no they just put a key in your PO Box, that opens a temp box when you get a package
Or if it's really big (like my dick) they'll hold it in the mail room, and put a slip of paper in your PO box

Califag here. I hate tax but the fast shipping is worth it. Phones cases on eBay cost $5 with taxes and shipping and arrive in 3 days, usually 2. Newegg uses Ontrac which is even faster. I must be lucky because none of the west coast shipping services like Ontrac and GSO have ever lost my packages.

I usually order my stuff through newegg when possible. I live maybe a few hours drive from their east coast facility in Edison. I always get their super saver 3 day shipping and usually get it in 1 day. Sometime same day.

>Place order for part 2 AM Thursday morning
>Part is at my doorstep 4pm Thursday evening

Also have a microcenter 15 minutes away. Feels good man.

At least you didn't pay for overnight on a package only to be hit with a blizzard to make delivery impossible for two weeks.

If they don't deliver it on time you need to file a complaint. You are paying for 2 day service and if they don't comply you will get a credit.

>>51247718
This is why USPS is going bankrupt. I hope they go down the toilet soon, they deserve it. If UPS and FedEx can deliver on weekends so can USPS, they act like they're special snowflakes when all they do is deliver fucking mail. They are glorified mules.

Don't like your job? Not my problem. I ordered a specific delivery date and paid for it, if they can't comply then say bye bye to their shitty company.

They're bankrupt because they have to pay all their pensions in advance. That's literally the only thing keeping them from solvency.

They were actually making a profit for awhile and doing good.

Then they were forced to pay pensions for like the next 100 years in advancw and suddenly have no money for any maintanence or infrastructure improvements.

We would have great mail service if USPS was just left the fuck alone.

This is where the US could learn a thing or two from us over in the UK.
Royal Mail is the best mail company, bar none.

You order something, and pay for "guaranteed by 1pm next day" delivery? You got it.

Need to ship a huge 20kg package on 1 day delivery? They'll even pick it up at your house/place of work.

Cheap as hell too
