Default USPS does it again

Lost 3 of my reels that I sent in for repair to Bass Pro Shops. I sent them a month ago and haven’t heard anything so called to check. They never arrived. Got delivered alright per the tracking number...but only got as far as the post office in Springfield, MO. Apparently the post office considers things delivered as soon as they arrive at the local post office, NOT at the final point of destination. Fortunately I purchased insurance. Now we’ll see if they actually pay for my missing property. Crummy day.

Default That’s Nothing!!!

We have been dealing with USPS incompetence for two years now. Right now our US Congressman is involved as well as the USPS in Washington.

Good luck with your efforts. My sense is that since the government is involved, not much will change. It’ll only get more expensive and even less reliable.

Junk mail is the USPS bread and butter. And, it keeps folks busy throwing it in the trash. Not to mention revenue for those that produce it.

I finally got a human being on the phone. She explained to me that it shows the package was delivered. I explained that yes. It was. Just not to where I sent it. She was helpful as she could be and nice. So that’s good. I should hear back sometime next week about what’s going on. Not holding my breath.

I’m happy to say I haven’t had any problems with USPS. I also use SpeeDee a lot especially when shipping rods.
