USPS getting a bad rap?

[kandf_vintage_finds]

This is not a thread for rate discussion.

I've been selling for about 4 years and ship exclusively USPS

Not 1 lost package.  Only 1 damaged.  Not 1 late delivery.

My Postal Carrier picks up daily and scans each and every package.

Now I see this  🙂  Item was shipped ground advantage from Virginia!

The USPS is is one of the things I am most truly patriotic about.  Man what a proud American story it is, and unlike anything other countries have.  -The average American doesn't realize how great it really is and won't until it's gone.  Same goes for if it ever gets privatized.   Even with the worst PMG ever it still amazes me on a regular basis.  
 Thanks for sharing your delivery.

For me USPS has about a less than 1% failure rate and I'm fine with that.

Been mailing Ebay packages via USPS since 2004, from 2 different states over those years.......(moved) and no real problems.........perhaps 2-3 lost, 5 or so damaged.  They get my kudos.......

I've had a similar experience.  Even media mail makes it across the country in two days now.

My post office sends packages to the Merrifield center and from there onward to various destinations.

There is NEVER a problem at the outset.  If there is an issue (a delay, for example) it's usually at a distant post office in some remote part of the USA.  

Having said all that, I have had some bad experiences with packages that I send to Texas, where the USPS seems to play soccer / rugby with cardboard boxes.

Then there are the snotty and petulant USPS clerks.  Some of these folks seem to think that the customer works for them.   In my personal experience, it's easy to get them removed, however, and shuffled off elsewhere.  USPS is responsive to customer complaints about its personnel.
