Kudos to the USPS


Hello.

As most of you already know, I am not one to really shy away from controversy, even if it means letting people know when I receive inferior service. That being said, when I am delighted, I feel I should trumpet the provider as well.

In my audio and non-audio dealings, I have dealt with a variety of shippers.

DREADFUL(and I can't stress that enough) has been FedEX Ground.

But, Priority Mail from the USPS has always been very good. I am not sure why I am surprised by that, but I really am. I used to work at the USPS while in college, and I encountered the malaise and all that went with it first hand.

This week, I placed an order late Wednesday evening from a company in California. I live in Pennsylvania, and received a reply on Thursday stating my package was shipped. Lo and behold, when I got home Friday, there it was. Basically, a day to get from one side of the country to the other. No muss, no fuss. Nothing was damaged, and I would have gotten a smile and a wave from my postman had I been home.

Great service, and a great job.

Kudos to the USPS!!!

I second that motion! I'm in Canada and frequently purchase used audio components from the U.S. UPS ground and FedEx ground have cost me a lot of money in damages, although to their credit, FedEx, at least on one occasion, honoured the insurance claim (UPS has never once).

For some time now, I spend a little more to have items shipped by USPS Airmail. So far, everything has arrived in perfect shape, plus customs brokerage charges are a tiny fraction of what UPS and FedEx charge.

So I say: support your post office!
