WTF?! All of you are rediculous. I do not have time for ANYTHING. I rely on a Secretary to run arrands for me during the day. I can not leave here to go to a place 20 miles away and drop something off during the business hours of 9-5 that THEY are open around here. That is what SHE is paid to do. . This is why I don't strive to do anything on these boards anymore becuase the fact is, I PROVIDE the damn #'s, and there is STILL people who say, "Oh, those are fake, blah blah."

When that package shows up in the next day or two Josh, you better get your ass on here. If the additonal tracking slips aren't in the package, then forget it. I'll deal with her since my "lazy ass" can't get out and do things myself. I don't care about 30 bucks, big f'ing deal.

OMG this is so typical. Blame it on anyone but yourself. Be a man and take responsibility for your actions. What a moron.

USPS typically doesn't give out real tracking numbers, they use delivery confirmation numbers which only enter the system when the item is delivered.

Well, she went there and paid for Delivery Confirmation... is that the same as tracking? I rarely ship packages via USPS, not sure how they work with this stuff. I have the "US Postal Service Delivery Confirmation receipt" and "Receipt for Domestic Insured Parcel" and the cash receipt from the Post Office in my hand. Shipped out of "Mt. Clemens, MI USPS Sortng Facilty".

What am I blaiming? What issue is there? I don't nderstand. I was asked specificaly by X (guess I should have quoted him)... to go "ship it myself" by X. That was my reasoning. And I am faulting her only at the respect that she did not send it the method I had told her too

Not sure what I'm supposed to be "manning up to"? Not sure what "Actions" have happend. . The fact is, it's in the mail, for the 3rd time, and on its way.

Fedex is pretty good but for the price of $7.70 you can send an item in a large flat rate box (USPS) with a 2-3 day transit vs the same price and a 7 day delivery through FedEx or UPS ground.

Those are the only scenarios where I use USPS. The lack of a real tracking number is bad when shipping to customers, but in certain cases it's either way cheaper, way faster, or both to to ship USPS. Small packages, long distance, APO, rural are all situations where USPS is probably the better choice.

There's no way to know about that package until it gets (if it gets?) delivered. I've had packages claimed lost/never delivered before and I'd have to tell the customer to wait 2 weeks because USPS Priority is NOT time guaranteed. They suggest 2-3 business days and are generally good about it, but you need to pay for Express for time-definite delivery. 2 weeks is what USPS will tell you to wait, in the mean time I just plug in the scanner (so much easier these days with USB and auto loading drivers) and send off a copy of the receipt with package number to my customer. Then follow up in 2 weeks and process the claim if it still hasn't arrived.

You must work for the post office! I will have that done here shortly and get it over to Josh...if only he had a working email besides his powdercoatingworld.com. email. Unless it is working and it has emails blocked/Spam Filter on hydro Drive/ In Box Full.
