Warning to all Sellers! Do not use the USPS to deliver packages!

First of all, nothing against the seller. When I bought my product, I told him to try to use Fed Exp or UPS. He insisted on the USPS. I was like OK. Now we're going on Day 17, and my packages has gone from Detroit to Atlanta. It hit the Distribution Center at 8:54 PM on Friday, but it was actually 4:30 when I got the text. So I guess the USPS works in the future? I finally get another notification that it was out the Peach Tree Distribution Center in Atlanta Tuesday December 15th.I have contacted the seller on numerous occasions, and he has responded less then 50% of the time.  In my humble opinion, it's the seller responsibilty to also track the package too! I'm doing all the work, filing cases, and talking to the Post Master at the my local post office. I have a 3 conversations with him over the past week. It's like come on! I hope you put insurance on this package to cover this if for some reason it's lost. I will have to cancel my order through the help of E-Bay or Pay Pal. I'm not in the business to give $1,000 away, especially when the seller is making a hell of a profit. I have sent the seller a few more emails, I have not heard back from him since December 11th. One thing you do when selling, is take care of your customers. At this point, I feel like the seller should give me a discount. I have been patient. But after December 22nd I will have to file for funds back to my Pay Pal Account. I also know when someone is ignoring my emails on purpose not cool. I'm sure if the roles were reversed he would feel the same way as the buyer. By the way I have been selling and buying on E-Bay since 2006 with 479 Stars and 100% Feedback, this person also has a 100% feedback and has been selling since 2004. I hope everything comes out all right, but as of now, my hopes are dwindling down. Also, I will never use the USPS with buying or selling items.

I went to my small local post office this morning one hour before they opened and there were 24 people in line waiting to ship out boxes larger than a bread box by the time the doors opened.  Luckily I was sixth in line and my box will get to the destination on Monday.  When I left the line was twice as long.  As my long departed mother used to say, "Mail packages by the 12th and envelopes by the 15th or you're not guaranteed anything will arrive before the 24th."  We are lucky the 24th is a Thursday this year.


Smart lady. Day before yesterday I had trouble controling all the outgoing cards and letters from my route they were heaped in the mail tub that I put outgoing in. Yesterday it was the same, and I expect it will be like that today too. 

 

 

I actually hit my snooze twice this morning, usually I am awake before the alarm goes off at 3am. I haven't seen my horses in daylight all week. I don't like just running the flashlight over their bodies and legs twice a day, especially as we have had our fist snow storm. This morning I see that it is time to trim up tails as they are both dragging them in the snow and it will form ice balls and get heavy, I usually take about 18 inches off the bottoms  to prevent this in the winter. It should have been done already but my days are just so long anymore.

Well put..

..I TRIED to be proactive and buy things 3+ WEEKS AGO so I would get them before Christmas..not going to happen..to say I'm disappointed is an UNDERSTATEMENT..

So this turns into no one buying anything in the next few weeks = retail economy even worse..

BUT,I do have to say, not too much of a delay with Amazon though..🤔 

What does that tell you?

Thank you Louis dejoy  for now ruining Christmas for some people. 🤬🤬🤬

USPS should be reset at every level and process. They are the worst at delivering packages.
