How 'bout if Dana or Dr. Perricone ties on a little parachute on each Cold Plasma package & when the USPS pilot is flying over Kentucky & gets near your house, they can can just toss it out & lands on your doorstep. See? Problem solved!!

Anything shipped UPS to me is always at least a few days longer than USPS. Plus USPS is cheaper most of the time. Priority mail, when it is under 13 oz especially, is a decent buy and gets to it's destination within 2 to 3 days. I've shipped from the SW on Saturday and had the packages received on the East Coast Monday just using Priority.

Anyone ordering from QVC usually has the option of clicking on either UPS or USPS on the shipping page (if you click on the shipping method and scroll down, usually the price for UPS is the same as USPS) I have never seen the price different from one to the other for an order I've placed.

I go to a Contract Postal Station (they contract with the Postal Service) and they have the best service anywhere. Even at Christmas, they'll move a line of a dozen people within 10 minutes. And they only upsell they do is if they are trying to help you out. The manager there is the one who informed me about needing a "Certificate of Mailing" when I give them a prepaid QVC (or other prepaid label) package which costs $1.30. She explained to me that if you just drop off a prepaid label parcel, even when you get a receipt, it is not proof of anything that businesses have to honor and she knows of many instances where businesses refused to honor them. She said their attitude is you could have picked that receipt up off the street. When you get the "Certificate of Mailing" it proves that you sent that package with the corresponding prepaid label. So now I get them if I am sending back anything of value. It's worth $1.30 for the security.

Not sure many here know about "Certificates of Mailing" so you might want to inquire the next time you feel just getting a receipt for a prepaid label parcel is adequate.

Locally UPS is handing off a lot of their packages, once they get here, for USPS to deliver - is that occurring in your area? Apparently it is cheaper for them to pay USPS to deliver them than employ the manpower, tracking and time for them to do it themselves.

Wackers, you are so right, Mellow out, people!

I know, right? They often say as people get older they either mellow out or get more impatient, in general. I vowed when I was in my 20's that I'd never be one to become more impatient as I aged because the older people I came in contact with did were not terribly pleasant to be around.

It's far more pleasant and enjoyable to become more mellow - life is short so why waste time being so uptight?

I do think QVC's biggest issue is getting the packages out of their warehouses to begin with ...... then shippers get blamed when it really isn't their fault.

most of the time they ship ups - which i 2-3 days & usps is 10 days

For me, it's the exact opposite. Planes for USPS fly direct from east to west coast; trucks for UPS drive really slowly across the country. I always choose post office over UPS if I can.

My insurance now makes me get 90 day supply of meds thru the mail from cvs. They have to use usps, I have filled it twice so far, have been able to track the packages from Cvs in N.J. to Calif. And luckily have rec'd both the next day. I guess it does depend on the worker bees.

For me its the opposite. The Q always uses ups and my packages always take pretty much 8-10 days.

When i order from HSN which uses USPS i always get my packages in 3 days. I also wonder if thats why their S&H is so much cheaper than the Q

I returned a necklace that I didn't like. I dropped it off at the post office two weeks ago today and the tracking detail still says 'Arrival at USPS' as of today. I wrote to QVC's customer service for a refund because I used QVC's insured return label. I received confirmation yesterday that QVC would be issuing refund to my credit card. I rarely use the post office to return anything because of situations like this. Another reminder to use UPS. It may cost a little more but it will be delivered in two business days.
