I’m so pissed off I’m having chest pains… The US Postal Service can eat my crevice!
So I ordered the notch kit on 12/26/12 and paid for it. Storm and holiday delayed things, and then an inventory shortage added to the delay. Ok, fine.
The sender ships the package Priority mail via the USPS (instead of USP ground) to try and get it here more quickly. The package was accepted by the Post Office in Francisco, IN on 1/10/13 @ 3:59 pm.
Priority Mail®, Shipment Accepted, January 10, 2013, 3:59 pm, FRANCISCO, IN 47649
Expected Delivery By: January 12, 2013
That was the last known location of the package.
(It’s a 44# package with a bunch of steel in it and didn’t get lost between the seats of the truck)
I’ve been trying to track down this package for days…..
I have called the called the post office in Francisco IN, The post master swears the package was put on a truck for the main plant in Evansville IN. I called the Post office here, they haven’t seen it.
I’ve called USPS customer support numerous times. I got stories ranging from “We have no record of that package ever physically being in our possession”, “it must be in transit”, “I can’t tell you anything about it you have to wait for it to arrive”, “the tracking only gets updated after its delivered”, “you need to contact the sender, they have to open a package recovery claim, we can’t help you” , “you need to contact the Francisco Post office , it must be sitting there….” blah blah bullshit
I have a ticket open with the USPS, although they never contacted me like they said they would, I keep calling them to follow up on the open ticket. When I called this morning I got the run around. Everyone agrees this is odd for a priority package to get accepted and then drop off the grid. I said, “I bet if the contents was Dangerous, you guys could find it really quick, huh?” after an awkward pause she said, “ yeah we probably could.” And I said, “but in my case, you can’t find it or tell me anything about where it might be or when it might arrive?” I was told to call back at 3 pm, I will and I’ll request they elevate the case again.
Here’s the real kick in the nutz, I could have jumped in my car and drivin to Francisco IN in 6 hours, by way of Louisville. Could have made a weekend out of it and hung out with the Bluegrass guys…
but no… the Post Office has my stuff now and there is “no guarantee of a delivery date”. With the USPS, you might get your packages…. You might not. Both is totally acceptable, as there’s no guarantee… All that “priority” stuff is marketing spin priority; I’m not a priority at all. Silly me.
I’ll never, ever, ever, ever, ship anything USPS ever again. Finger to them.
