I lived overseas on a military base for 3 years, so all of my gear had to go USPS to my APO box to avoid exhorbinant shipping costs. I had a pre-pro, a power amp, surround speakers, and a PS Audio P300 sent via USPS, and everything arrived in perfect shape. No complaints!
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.
