USPS Shipping

Kachina624 — Thu, 20 Oct 2016 00:29:38 GMT

The USPS shipping has become disgusting. On 10/06, I ordered J331644, a Linea trapeze necklace. It took 6 days to ship by USPS, which has a msg, "unfortunately no shipping info is available". Now it has been in transit a week and has not appeared in my mailbox. It's sold out. UPS packages mailed later have been received. It seems it has become difficult, if not impossible, to depend on the post office. QVC needs to bite the bullet and give them up.

i have something that supposedly was shipped 10/11 - no tracking no. yesterday a tracking no showed up (minus the 92 prefix) which i loaded in and see that USPS was notified of a package on 10/15. huh? what happened to the 10/11 ship date? this is some new parcel post light package classification (it's a bracelet). by now it should have shown up - i wonder if the classification sends it el cheapo by slow boat???

I'm usually the first to say I don't care for shipping items USPS but lately they have been excellent. I always loved FedEX, but lately they have been constantly leaving my packages at my neighbor's houses. One time they actually left my package IN my front bushes. Literally IN THE BUSHES!!!! Then there's UPS who again are usually excellent. I had two packages from QVC delivered today via UPS. One had clearly been opened and taped up again. The tracking info stated my apartment number was missing and it had to be opened to be verified. Uh, I live in a single family home. Mistakes happen, but this kind of thing makes me concerned what with the holiday season approaching us.

I prefer USPS. Too many packages go missing when shipped by UPS.

I guess I've been lucky, never had a problem with USPS.

Knock on wood I've had no problem with my USPS packages. I actually hate to have things delivered UPS because they always arrive looking like the truck ran over them.

I ordered a Logo top on 10/17. According to tracking it was picked up by "shipping partner" in Lancaster on 10/14. Huh? It was picked up 3 days before I ordered it! Spooky!

Something is very wrong with QVC and USPS shipping.

They (USPS) leave packages everywhere....my daughter has asked repeatedly (at several local post office distributions) that they NOT leave packages at her front door, yet they repeatedly leave them there. It is on a busy street the walk past side walk is a few feet from her front door. She even has bought a place for the packages to go through to, yet, they still get dropped (left) there.

I won't go into it. It depends on who the UPS carrier is on if my packages get dropped by the garage door. I have one carrier who says he knows it's been addressed and he does leave them where I asked, but other don't. I (for some reason) get 2 (at least) deliveries a day (weird, I know). Some will be at the garage door and some at the front door. I had a huge fountain from QVC stolen right off of my front porch. It was unbelievable! Yet, they STILL don't listen to what I've posted, requested, etc.

This is just a sign of the times. People used to take care of what the customer wanted...no longer.

Hmmm, just today, I was supposed to receive a necklace via USPS. Took ten days, finally said out for delivery, then checking again, it said Left Notice. I was home, no doorbell, no notice left in box or on door with the mail I did receive. Now, the tracking says "no information available". Looks like someone didn't complete their job and trying to cover up. I'm hoping it will say something else tomorrow, like Out For Delivery!

@Nomore You better go get your package or ask them to redeliver. They won't automatically bring it again. They never bring those slips to the door anymore, even if you are home. Too lazy or time-consuming, who knows? They don't put themselves out for anyone.

@Kachina624

That's exactly what I did this morning. 48 minutes long from the open of the post office, talking to a clerk twice, then twice to a supervisor. He found it he said with some effort. He was concerned that it wasn't put in the mailbox, it was small enough, the supposed peach pickup tag po part was not on the package, and the notification bubble placed it at another zipcode and a later time than the "left notice" time. He said it will be a talking matter.

I bet it was the same mail person last week who was lurking behind my daughter's car up in the driveway at the garage, 40-50ft away from the mail truck parked at the mailbox, talking away on the cell phone. Didn't leave the package last week either, but then it said it would be delivered next day.

Never had these problems before.

@Nomore Yours reminds me of a carrier we had years ago. He would pull into your driveway in his jeep and lean on the horn until you came outside, then he'd give you your package. He didn't last long. Yours probably won't either.

Everything I order that is shipped USPS gets hung up in Baltimore MD for a week or more and sometimes I never get it...everything that gets shipped UPS is here withing (3) days....may I suggest (to apease everyone) that you give us the consumers and the people that are paying the option (drop down) box at check out with our preferred choice of shipping...even if I have to pay few more bucks for UPS it would be well worth it...by the time I finally get the top I ordered winter will be over....the first one I ordered you sent me the wrong item...sent that back and ordered another one going on 3 weeks now and I still don't have it.....if this is the $3 special shipping NO thanks...I want my choice of shipping..no wonder the postal system is in such dire straights.....

Many times I receive someone else's mail, usually the same person. Obviously, the USPS can't read as the addresses are not similar. Well, yesterday, I received an item that was mailed on August 12 from Ohio, almost two months ago. It was a DVD, and the envelope and DVD had been opened, so am assuming that it was misdelivered, the person opened it and watched the DVD, then decided to send it on. This is the first time I have ever received something that had gone missing.

I've been very disappointed since UPS paired up with USPS. Don't have accurate tracking information, last week I was expecting 1 item, and 3 showed up, 2 didn't even show they'd been shipped. And shipping takes much longer than it used to.

i'm soon moving to a small village (1300ish pop.) and must go to the post office for mail. I'm retired/somewhat disabled, and won't be visiting every day. Fortunately, it's run by very nice people, they will keep packages for a week. But wish things would come UPS, some things are very heavy for me to put in/take out of my car. That's one reason I shop online, after all!
