So it had the wrong address and your mad it didnt get there. It's your fault or the mailers fault.

I deliver all kinds of stuff misaddressed and I figure it out but no one notices. It's just my job. Not to mention the times I have helped the ups/FedEx guy find misaddressed stuff too. Guess who called the police when there's a weirdo in the neighborhood. Guess who found your dog. Guess who got poisoned with the Rison and not your senator?

Sorry, my turn to rant.

 

I confirm my order with AM on Sunday and get what I order on Tuesday. Less then 5 days by far.

 

Must be your location. Texas here. Jealous!!!

 

Yeah probably that's why I was surprised in the speed difference between both mailers. But yeah it's awesome on their fastest day if I order what I want early in the day they usually ship same day or early next morning.

 

Yeah but 1 mailman doesn't cover much ground. Be glad you're getting the packages otherwise USPS would have gone under by now.

 

Please Ups guys are not asking you about misaddressed packages hahahahaha all mailman chatter up every person that's outside. Mailmen have plenty of time to talk, I think they need more work.

 

Why join a conversation just to imply someone is a liar? I get paid 7 hours a day and I've worked 17 already this week. That's 3 free I've given the PO.

 

Most service around 400-500 residences per day. Don't pretend to know about going under.

 

I've worked for UPS for 23 years and I've never known a driver to ask about a misaddressed package. What was the question? I'd love to hear it.

 

Most of your deliveries are junk mail paper and you're already losing Saturday delivery aren't you?

 

I don't think anyone delivers on the weekends do they?

 

Ups and FedEx deliver on Saturdays

 

Package had wrong house number. I knew the name and helped him find it.

 

it had a zip code off by one # ... i called and asked the person if i could pick it up .. no they said .. it`s already on it`s way back to the sender ..one mile away from me .. 15`000 miles traveled and one mile they could`nt excuse ...

 

A lot of my mail is bulk business mail and a lot of customers are happy to get it not to mention the mailers love it too. A lot of my deliveries are packages (UPS). Not exactly sure why you guys aren't delivering them. Maybe because we can to it more efficiently. Also medicine. Magazines like the American Muscle and MM&FF type. Not to mention Victoria secret etc. Yes we stlll deliver on Saturday.

 

If there's no house number that matches the package, it doesn't make sense that he just wouldn't put a "service cross" on it and NSN "no such number" and give it to the night clerk to correct it. The only thing that would make this even remotely believable is if you just happen to be walking by each other and he just casually asked you if this name sounded familiar. I don't see him taking much more time than that.

 

Do You work on Saturday? Does all your packages go on Saturday or just some? I work six days a week. Friday and Saturday after thanksgiving as well.

 

Maybe he actually cared about his customer getting his package that day. I thought he was doing a great job. No we didn't talk for more than 30 seconds.

 

Ups delivers 15 million pieces a day. We have a lot more ground to cover. There's 30+ mailmen that deliver in MY area alone. Efficiently is not the answer, you guys are just cheaper labor. Ups would pay us more to deliver than you guys.
