USPS is the worst.

I overnighted a substantial bank check yesterday to a seller here with a guaranteed 3pm delivery today. Not only did the check not show up today, the system only shows a record of it leaving my local sorting facility yesterday, with no record of any kind of acceptance to the destination PO.

It was an hour wait time on the phone to even speak with a human... and they told me they will need a day or two to sort it out and find it, but I can be "assured" they will refund my money for the overnight charge, as if that makes anything better!

Meanwhile I'm facing a 90 day hold on the funds of my original bank check if it doesn't show up, and of course will need to pay for the replacement check on top of that.

Lesson learned, do NOT use USPS. EVER. It's an absolute disgrace.

I haven't "had". I'm having one and it's very frustrating. I'm complaining about the terrible experience I am presently having with USPS. Try calling all three of the major shippers and compare the wait times to speak to an actual human.

If your favorite restaurant gave you food poisoning and a random thread popped up about the restaurant, you wouldn't say anything because it's logical to presume it probably won't happen again? Hahahah OK.

Thanks. Fingers crossed it arrives today. I have never used USPS to overnight something, the 3pm thing made me choose them. They just seem to have a much looser tracking system. I understand things get delayed, but at least when it happens with UPS and FEDEX they know why it happened, where it is, and when it can be expected with an updated day. With the postal service it seems to be more of a wait and see kind of thing.
