@Sage04UPS has an upgrade called MyChoice. It will upgrade your packages to ground delivery for $20 a year. Worth it for me, as my local post office does not deliver. I have no mail, only a PO Box. If something does slip by the upgrade and ends up in my PO Box, UPS will tell me that the shipper (QVC) chose that. QVC will say it’s a UPS choice. Bane of my mail and shipping experiences for the 15 years that I have lived here. Oh, also, very small town, but if something only has my physical address w/o mentioning the box number, my tiny post office will send it back. They know me! Thanks for the rant!

 


@Merrygold  I did not realize that service(MYCHOICE) was still available from UPS.  So why are so many Posters complaining about USPS? Maybe they don't know about this service from UPS?

 

I have no problem with USPS. Once UPS transfers the packages to the Post Office, the followering day the packages are out for delivery. Great service.

 

Most of the time UPS will delivery directly to me if they are in the area. I like seeing that text also.

Re: PLEASE STOP USING POSTAL SERVICE

Where we live, UPS is THE most unreliable shipper there is.  Sometimes they get to the end of the day and drive right past our house with our "loaded on the vehicle" package.  We are at the end of a route that includes businesses, so we're out of luck many days.

 

Post office may be slow sometimes but here when they say they will deliver they do, and we know our mail carrier.

 

Fed Ex zooms up and down the street all day seemingly having no route whatsoever just hither and yon aimlessly

 

QVC should offer shipping options and rates.  Silly they don't.
