WHY would QVC "end a contract" with the US mail service?   Sorry, but that makes no sense.

 

If your US mail service is not up to par, take the time to contact your local government representatives and make sure they know there's actually a problem.

 

As my grandmother would say .... The squeaky wheel gets the grease.   

 

 


Yes....they all have websites where you can voice your "concerns".    "Some" even will reply to you.

Re: USPS Still Doing Delivery For UPS

It is cheaper for UPS to drop off some packages with the local post office, then the USPS probably has a 2 or 3 day window to deliver it, making shipping cheaper.

 

QVC does this because it is cheaper for them to ship that way.  If you are needing something quick, order from Amazon.

Guess I'm pretty lucky..When my regular UPS driver is on and something is supposed to transfer to USPS...UPS driver will deliver it to me.. he has to pass here on the way to the post office.

I also thought we were done with the US Mail Innovations where the product starts out on UPS and then goes to USPS.  I have had a package trapped at a hub for days and days with no movement thanks to this system.  BAH!    QVC is still using this awful system.

Re: USPS Still Doing Delivery For UPS

My packages use to start off ups then transfer to the post office, but lately I get the notice that ups will be in my area and deliver a day early.

Re: USPS Still Doing Delivery For UPS

It was all UPS for a couple of months, but now I'm noticing  they're being transferred to USPS again. It was great while it lasted.

There's always a lot to be thankful for if you take time to look for it.
For example, I am sitting here thinking how nice it is that wrinkles don't hurt.

Back in the first part of February I ordered a gift for my sister.  That magnifying compact.  Never received.  The last information was that they would deliver it February 15th.  But never did via USPS.  Something happened between transferring my package to USPS.  Anyway, I called and that's what they said.  Most deliveries will be with UPS.  But some will continue UPS to USPS.  Anyway I'll get a new one.  Every now and then I check the old one and it never changes. My sister's birthday is March 5th.  Hope I get it by them.
