Funny how different things are in different areas. I wouldn't use USPS to send a postcard anymore. They are horrendous! UPS is super reliable here, but I'm pretty remote. They chain up almost every day to bring me packages. USPS doesn't even deliver letters to my house.I shipped a scope with ups because usps had closed for the day. They called around for 30 minutes before he finally let me ship it. Next time, I’ll just ship the next day. What a hassle! Had a stock shipped to me a month ago. They used ups. Took a week longer to get it than it should have because they wouldn’t run their routes after it snowed a week prior. I really wouldn’t have thought much of it, but I had 3 packages show up on a Thursday, and ups delivered 2 of them that Thursday, and wouldn’t deliver the other until the following Tuesday. UPS could fall of the earth and we’d all be better for it.
