I ordered an item from Midway USA and they shipped it quickly through UPS Innovations. UPS did their part and got the item here in two days and turned it over to the losers at USPS in Coppell yesterday morning. According to tracking, it is now estimated to take another four days for it to be delivered to my house, a distance of 48 miles. Unbelievable. USPS sucks rocks.

Government entity. Therefore they suck at their job.
I keep them out of the loop as much as possible.

USPS. They need to increase price on junk mail. This is 90 percent of my mail. Seems like a huge waste. Increase fee and it cuts business. They can focus on other things than BS mailers.

Based on the complaints frequently on here we must have the best USPS. It just has to get to our facility in the first place.
No more often than I go to DFW I'm getting a pre-funded toll tag. If I don't get the bill I don't know I had a bill---and incur a late fee.

even if it get's to our post office there is a 50-50 chance they will put it in the wrong p.o. box

On the subject of shipping, last week another THF member shipped me a rifle within the state of Texas. UPS told him to go pound sand and that they have a corporate policy of refusing to ship a firearm of any kind between two non-licensees. USPS shipped it and it was here in two days. Support who you wish, but I'm done with UPS and their anti 2nd Amendment policies.

I had a package come from Maryland go toNevada, then Utah, then Dallas and finally Houston to conroe. most mail problems seem to stem from our carrier. we often get other peoples mail and vice versa.
My dogs enjoy it when we get a UPS package cause they get treats. They know the sound of that truck and take off up the driveway like 2 balls of fire.

We could save a ton of money if they’d just do away with the postal department altogether. Everything is paperless now. I get nothing but junk in the box.

I shipped an expensive item over $7500. It was going to Frisco and my son had an XC meet there so I figured to save the risk of it getting lost by USPS I would drop it at the Frisco Post Office. It still went to Coppell, then to Dallas, then delivered.

I'm getting the impression that the post office in Coppell is like the Amazon facility in Hutchins. Every single order I've made that went to Hutchins was either delayed or sent back because they couldn't deliver it.

Every single order I've made that went to Hutchins was either delayed or sent back because they couldn't deliver it. I think you are right. My local USPS people are great...well, once they fired the floozie blonde mail carrier. That woman either couldn't read an address or just didn't care. The slugs at Coppell have the same problem. My item is now headed to Texarkana.
