FedEx SmartPost & UPS Mail - Run from sellers that use this

[greg_kurtz]

These 2 are the slowest, cheapest and crappiest ways to ship small items. I've had sellers claim to use USPS 1st class or Priority Mail and wind up usng this junk instead. I've reflected it on their feedback also with no apology. If you're going to cheap out that much, you're doing your buyers a great disservice. I have stopped buying from sellers who use this garbage

I find USPS takes more care in not damaging packages and delivers them much faster.

when you buy something it should say what mail service they use and how much shipping costs, I have no clue if you can open a claim if they take your money from shipping and then change the service for a lower cost and more money in their account.

If you're as obsessed with shipping as you seem to be, don't buy from sellers unless they use Priority.

I hear ya. I bought something a couple of days ago that is shipping SmartPost and it's not coming for another week. That is terrible shipping time but I knew it when I bought the items. Paid a lot for shipping too. I KNEW.

It is inappropriate to buy knowing shipping will be slow then penalize the seller for using slow shipping. If this is an issue for you, choose different sellers.

FedEx Smart Post & UPS mail are low cost shipping services used by companies to save money on shipping costs. I see that you had a negative experience from a seller overseas. Use caution next time.

I do use caution but it's still possible to get burned when some sellers pull this stuff and nothing can be done.

I prefer those two service options and wish more sellers would use them over regular UPS or FedEx.

I find it adorable when people refuse to spend extra 3-5 bucks on expedited shipping and then b&m that their stuff is not there in 3 days.
