[QUOTE="Glock 40, post: 3521387, member: 32"] USPS has been doing better as of late. As it stands today I had an overnight UPS not make it yesterday just shows weather delay in transit no update when I will get it. I have a USPS on the delivery truck today that is showing up early today. It was scheduled for next Tuesday. My normal mail lady is pretty dang good. She scooted up an ice covered sidewalk earlier this week to drop packages on my porch. She is always courteous with packages and deliveries be it a small box or 68# box of bullets. I routinely have UPS pickups done at my home for work. These are some big heavy boxes. On occasion my pickup is skipped. Most of the time the folks are friendly and don't complain when I have a stack of large 50-80# boxes going out. Fedex, UPS, USPS and Amazon all made on-time deliveries to me this week. So I ain't complaining. Driving in this SH#T sucks! They been doing it all week. As to the person that claimed USPS busted their stuff dropping it on the porch. If you have ever seen automated sorters work. That is a packaging issue imo. I worked a contract at an airport and seeing the automation that moved bags will make you never put anything breakable in a bag. When they shift an item from one conveyor to the other it knocks the living hell out of it. Or they get smashed when moving from one down to the other and the up/down belt smashes them. Then add in the human factor. If stuff gets broken its normally poorly packaged. [/QUOTE]
