USPS

I will never purchase any products from sellers or company's that use U.S.P.S for shipping.  The USPS has failed me over the years so many times with my purchases arriving on time!

"The USPS has failed me over the years so many times with my purchases arriving on time!"? It looks like you purchase an item a year, is that correct?

So true. Ever since an apple watch arrived a month late from West Palm Beach to Puerto Rico, I've quit using USPS as my shipping method, especially since that UPS and FedEx give sometimes 60% discounts for fast services.

My number one rule for eBay: never use USPS unless absolutely necessary,

My number two rule: always block PO Boxes.

Im a seller who uses USPS. To date there has only been a few items that were delayed by a day and one item was missing, but the rep helped me file a missing mail report and they were able to ship the item to the buyer.

Besides, USPS shipping rates are much more reasonable.

What's your definition of "on time"?

Are you referring to USPS Express which includes a guaranteed delivery date (or used to before Covid - not sure if they went back to the guarantee yet)?

Are you referring to services that provided an estimated timeframe for delivery?

PO boxes. One of the safest delivery locations known to man.

Well grip to the US government about it not here to us users;

Sorry USPS is still a method of shipping that is down hill Gripping at the government may get it fixed and may make it worse..

That's fine if you want to severely limit your item choices.

My buyers can pay $3.50 USPS shipping for a piece of paper and get it in a week, or they can pay $8-$12 for that same piece of paper using Fedex or UPS and get it in a week. Guess which one they would choose every. single. time if given the choice...
