In reply to the discussion: So the Post Office Whipped UPS and FedEx in terms of delivering packages for Christmas 2013 [View all]GobBluth
(109 posts)Your package DID get priority, because of the huge volume increase it did not make it in three days. We never guarantee that 2/3 day priority. Most days of the year that's what it will take. All we guarantee is that a priority package gets preference over standard. During Christmas, unless you send it express, count on longer shipping time.
And use UPS all you want, we will probably end up delivering them anyways. I'm a sub and spent 2 weeks just delivering parcels. 1/3 (more like half most days) were originally shipped UPS. How's THAT business model working out for you? You spend more only to have the cheaper (and in my experience more consistent) company deliver it anyways.
I would have LOVED to be able to have taken pictures of my office the last month. You would have realized how wrong your entire statement was. Unlike UPS, USPS WAS delivering expresses on Christmas.
Ok. End of rant. Sorry. Please look at www.usps.com and check out their click and ship. Every morning I get a list off all the packages I need to pick up on the route I am working that day. No need for you to even worry about hours of operation. Someone will come and pick it up FOR you at no extra charge.
