USPS Question (OT)

[buymycards]

Hi Guys,

Tom, I agree 100% with what you said.

Leon, my PO is going live with the new software next Wed. 2 hours of online training this week, and then open the window at 9 on Wed. Should be quite the mess.

Went back again yesterday. The fastest lady in there was probably less than half as fast as before. No doubt it will speed up with time but the training, or lack of, should earn someone a demerit.

Classic.....I am dealing with the same thing right now. Sent off priority mail to a board member for some great T206's last week. Checked two days ago online and it said its delayed here in San diego. What ever that means. So I check last night , same thing delayed, so I call this morning, wait for 30 minutes to talk to somebody at their call center, then finally get somebody and they state exactly what I read online, what's the point of calling! So I ask if there is anything they can do for me and they say no, but they can file a report, so I have them do one anyway.

It's so funny that I even have to get "insurance " for their product, I mean this is their product, it's just bizarre to me that I have to pay any additional money for a product. Of course, I got the priority mail, insurance, and signature confirmation,.

Anyways, now I have to wait till Monday to find out exactly what's going on, no wonder the USPS is going out of business.

My local Post Office isn't even using the new software or postage meters. I mailed two items for $6.50 yesterday. They covered the entire envelope mailer with stamps, guessing I will have complaints from buyers that they havent received their packages shortly.

Stuff happens, I totally get it. I just wish the stuff would happen with my $10 purchases and not the 4-figure ones.

I recently mailed 2 packages...one to SGC with tracking, the other a CD I sold with no tracking. They put "internal" tracking on the CD package. When I typed in the tracking number and signed up for alerts sent to my email, I accidentally typed the number on the receipt from the internal number on my CD package, and not the SGC one. Now I am getting updates on the CD that I did not pay to track, but is being tracked anyways. So why am I paying extra money to track an item when really we dont need to?
Also, why does it take my SGC package from Massachusetts 5 days to get to New Jersey? Seems to me that the shortest distance would be a straight line, but they also go from the mailing center in my area (where it sits), to New Hampshire (where it sits), then to NJ (where it sits) until out for delivery.
Not to knock the P.O., as my mother worked there for 30 years, but, really?
