Re: When a UPS package goes to USPS

I *REALLY* don't like the PO transfer, it takes a minimum of one to two days extra to reach me.

 

Often the transfer is done just a couple of miles away from our house, but it takes the PO two days to process.

 

Recently, an item sat in the PO for five days before it moved.

Re: When a UPS package goes to USPS

Hey Noel!  Wowzer!  That is unreasonable.  Usually, I've seen UPS transfer a shipment to USPS early enough in the morning that it can hit that day's loading.

 

But I live in a pretty small city, so maybe that makes a big difference here.  Smiley Happy

Re: When a UPS package goes to USPS

Personally, I have bad luck with anything going postal, lol.  My regular postman is a saint, we have had him for years and he is fast and reliable.  But when sub post men come in the pkgs are a day later, as sometimes they can let them sit if they are loaded that day.

 

certain companies I called and had them not use usps.  I am in California, they are back east.  For some reason it gets to San Francisco or San Pablo, close by me in a couple days.  Then it can take 4 to 5 days for the postal service to get it me, 80 miles away.  JMHO and experience
