[QUOTE="NRLArt, post: 2186053, member: 118614"] Oh don't get me started on USPS. I completely avoid them when possible and pay extra to have my items shipped by anything OTHER than USPS. The last straw was when I ordered a barrel from just across town. Due to work schedule I had the shop send the barrel. It typically only takes a day or two. When I tracked it, it showed my Barrel leaving the shop on Friday and on it's way with a delivery date on Monday. Sunday night I looked at the tracking and it said something to the affect that delivery was delayed. I waited almost a week and the status stayed the same. After two weeks I called the shop and told them the barrel must be lost cause there is no way it can take two weeks to get here. They contacted USPS who said the barrel was delivered to the wrong address, they were trying to get it back and once they do, it has to go to a central sorting facility. USPS told them to give it a little longer. 1.5 weeks later the barrel arrives. The box had been obviously opened in a "rip open" manner. Someone tried to tape it up but did a poor job. All it took was a minor twist of the box and the barrel came falling out. Good thing the shop had put covers on both ends of the barrel. Now this is the straw that broke the camels back. I get my neighbor mail at least once every couple weeks. And I know it happens to my neighbors as I find some of my mail on my screen door. I also once saw that the Post office did not lock one of those package lockers. I looked at the package and recognized it as one of my neighbors and hand delivered it so it wouldn't get stolen... So I'm done with the USPS.... [/QUOTE]
