USPS can make me "Go Postal"
I'm sure many can relate but I feel the need to vent somewhere. Monday of this week I needed to return an item to a retailer in Tampa. So, I take it to the closest pack and ship and have it sent via standard UPS ground service. The next morning I receive an email that my return was received and processed and my replacement item would be shipped out before the end of the day. It was, and I received a USPS tracking number in my email. I click the link and find the scheduled delivery date to be today, Friday Dec. 14th. So, I'm thinking wow, 3 days to get from Tampa to The Villages? Maybe it will arrive earlier but, if not, so be it. I check it again this morning and it now shows delivery date tomorrow, the 15th, instead and that it just arrived at the Lady Lake post office. Okay, maybe I can just check with the post office and see if I can come by and pick it up. I look up the number and it just rings, rings, rings until Verizon decides I've tried long enough and just cuts me off. Try again several times with the same results.
I know it's the season and the shipping business must be crazy, but, to me, this is beyond reasonable.
