Grant, can we modify our profile to select USPS only shipping?

I recently ordered a LPK from you and like always you push it out the door in rapid fashion.

But UPS decides it should take a week to get to me.:mad:

Is there anything we can do on our ordering profile to make certain you ship via USPS only?

I for one dislike UPS and feel USPS does an admirable job for me considering their limited tracking capabilities.

Thanks

UPS is generally prett good for use, but I understand liking USPS. The main issue is that we cannot make it to the post office (as we have a retail storefront) so your package gets delayed because it is hard to close up the shop.

Even with a residential account we print out the label and schedule the pickup online, and the USPS people come by the house and pick up the package.

We used USPS for about a year and while they work great for small items, but suck for anything over 2 pounds. They also rape you on insurance do not give you real time tracking (delivery only confirmation only).

UPS gives us real time tracking, $100 free insurance and cheap rates on heavy items.

USPS Priority mail lost my P-mags I sent back for exchange!!! Since I did not pay additional for delivery confirmation there is nothing they can do, even though the package was sent Priority in one of their boxes! At least with UPS the package can be tracked no matter how you ship it.

Grant- your UPS really is dreadfully slow. There’s been a few times a friend and I have placed orders and they take quite a long time.

I shipped a scope via USPS’s automated machine last week. Took it in Tuesday evening and the guy had it Thursday noon- IN to CA priority.

Exactly.

I am in a rural area so it does take long to get shipped out. There really is no other option though as there are too many issues with the postal service.

All I needed to hear was that USPS is slower for you. If UPS is slower than we usually like and USPS is even slower, I guess the answer would be to use UPS.

No problems there. It’s this damn BRD and how it causes some of us to act like little girls when wanting and getting new items…

I don’t know if you have ever dealt with rural “contracted” mail carriers, but I would not trust them with a post card let alone a $500 package! They ROUTINELY lose my mail and or deliver $2,500 checks to my neighbors. :mad:

OUCH!

I say we make Grant deliver the packages by hand.

Shut your mouth! :smiley:
