I was waiting and waiting for my gainclone from Peter.it was supposed to be here on the 17th and they said they left a notice on the door.HA,HA,HA... I was all day the 17th,18th here just waiting for it and they never appeared.USPS SUCK!!!now maybe is too late to get it from post office so they will bring it back to Peter(Canada).it is better to pay a little more but get it!!!.Imagen it was my mother's birthday present.Peter if you read this you will know now I am pissed off big time with USPS.to all members do not deal with USPS.they are not a good shipper service.
Sooner or later we all seem to have a problem with one of the major shippers. That's part of life and unfortunately we have to put up with it. Sorry to hear of your problem.
For the record ....I have suffered losses by the big three. Its a coin toss everytime we ship something or have to wait for something to arrive.
That doesn't make sense, the usps does not what to
ship back an item. And they make 3 attempts before
they do.. You should have seen a notice.
I would go to your post office and tell them your story !
they will work with you... Don't give up to easy..
I use the USPS when I can and can save my customers money
over the 2 major other ones.. Mainly when I ship to
Canada and Overseas..

I have story with fedex...I purchased digital camera online, moderately expensive, got my tracking number, was waiting the day of arrival, nothing happened...nothing happened day after, no notice....tracking information says delivered 11pm, even my signature was there online!!! well, poor forgery of my signature, actually, quite funny it looked like someone who is desperately writeing it for a first time.
I got pissed, called, faxed over, and called again and faxed again, even stopped credit payment, called visa, and so on, the long story short, after a four days fedex called me that they found the package in the truck, driver still has it! wow, what a bs, I think the driver tried to steal it, i reported whole incident to bbb

2 (or3?) years ago, I ordered some minor parts from Summit Racing for my car.
As the tracking information I got from the web, the first shipment went to Mainland China, and then disappeared.
I informed Summit Racing, and they sent again. This time it disappeared right at the door. Tracking info on USPS web showed nothing.
And of course I never saw that delivery.
Eventually I canceled that order and got refund. The whole story took me over 2 months. It's just... Aaaarrrgh

Over the last 6 years i have sent over 5000 packages into the States via Canada Post/USPS. Delivery was sometimes tardy, only 1 item was ever lost and none harmed (but in the words of one customer "packed to survive WW 3"). There were a couple incidents i can only attribute to lazy postmen, but rattling a few chains a bit higher up got that sorted.
It is too bad USPS just recently took the feet out from under many US exporters -- no surface post going out of the US.
I've had good service from DHL & FedEx, just don't send me anything by UPS across the border.

I find the USPS somewhat reliable especially considering the Enormus prices places Like UPS charge....For me it is cheaper to loose an occational Package through USPS or Canada Post that it is to pay the enourmus prices UPS Charges......
I once had a Package sent to me From europe Via UPS and when they showed up they said "Just sign Here" so I did and a week later I get a Bill in the Mail for $180 for shipping a Package about the size of a Pack of Cigarettes, Pluss it was supposed to be Postage Paid not COD.....
Needless to say it took several months to sort out and really turned me against UPS......

In this case, they didn't. Only an insurance number. They were able to confirm that the package had been given to them and at what time, but no other tracking was available. You live and learn.
I'm not diss-ing USPS specifically, but I've learned to take a bit of the responsibility myself - thus registration and/or tracking. I figure that there's so much mail being sent, that if I want one specific bit to arrive at my address then I should be willing for fork out 3 extra dollars (or 2 or 4).
