I am sorry for your trouble. Personally, I am happy and grateful that Amazon has gone back to UPS. My carrier, on multiple occasions, has confiscated all my mail if a small package arrives - she says my box is too full instead of putting it in a locker. She insists I "see her" (when she is there) to get my mail, then has literally screamed at me on the two times I saw her, causing me to insist all confiscated mail be brought to the mail station so I do not have to see the carrier. There have also been other problems with USPS, not related to the screams of this carrier. Guess nothing is perfect. So happy to have packages at my door again! Again, sorry for your trouble.

Back to the old saying, “you got what you paid for”. USPS made lucrative contracts with FedEx and UPS to have packages dropped at USPS for cheap alternatives to shippers. Next time pay a premium shipping price and you’ll get premium service. It’s not the fault of any shipping company. It’s the shipper who wanted rick bottom shipping deal. Call the shipper but it will cost you more for better service.

If that ever happened, you wouldn't be able to afford the postage,

I had the same UPS/USPS combo as they were delivering a small package. I had a temporary Mail Forwarding on my house because I was away, and the USPS decided that rather than forwarding the package (as the post office is instructed to do) they decided to destroy the package. I went to the tracking site and saw the message that the package has been destroyed. Wow.

How about a post noting that many of us shop on line receiving literally a hundred or more packages a year as expected. |

Irregardless of that how do you really feel about this?

Cut the good people at USPS some slack. They deliver 160 billion pieces of mail every year. UPS and AMAZON have been sucking the post office dry for years with their last mile delivery for pennies. Bully

The postal service is a complicated system. Carriers must not deviate from their assigned rout. You are correct in saying that UPS created this mess. Perhaps if shipping was by USPS there would be no problem.

One of my favorite words that is not normally used.
I do believe that "irregardless" has found its way into some dictionary. |

There is no logic when it comes to the USPS. Even though Leesburg is not that far from The Villages, they really do not have a way to transport your package here because it's against their regulations. Their only option was to put it back in the mail, which unfortunately now has to go back to Orlando to get here. When they started with all the automation is when all this nonsense started too. This same thing happens if you get a letter that is addressed to someone else. You have to put it back in the system, it goes to Orlando to be sorted and then back to the correct address hopefully this time.
