USPS quadruple fail
USPS screwed up part of my son’s birthday. My mother sent him an overnight package, but USPS failed four times:
- Took 3 days to deliver the overnight package.
- Demanded a signature even though my mother marked the “WAIVER OF SIGNATURE” box and signed appropriately.
- Claimed to have left a notice (that I needed to pick up the package personally), but in fact declined to do so.
- Never re-notified me that the package was waiting. I finally found out because my mother asked me about it. I was able to call the local post office 2 hours before they would have returned it as undeliverable.
Go to http://usps.gov and check on package EH45 2451 528U S if you want to see this incompetence for yourself.
I say privatize and de-unionize the USPS and let it sink under its own massive debt. And deregulate first class mail delivery. Of course, Democrats will oppose this because government largesse and union intransigence are their job security.
In case you think I’m being vindictive, de-unionization would be the biggest gift we could give the USPS as it would create a competitive advantage over heavily unionized UPS and FedEx.
