I would miss my mountain bike action.... I don't know why mountain bike action won't create an iPad app.
Post Office About To Go Tango Uniform.
- Thread starter Pesqueeb
- Start date
i guess if i could get in and out of the post office in less than 20 minutes to ship a package i might.....but i have never had a problem with ups/fedex as far as shipping/receiving something.Paying more and getting a beat up package from UPS is a better dealI've shipped and receive 1000s of packages from the various carriers - I've only had to file damage or theft claims with UPS.

the last place i lived where mail was delivered before noon was virginia....about 30 years a go.what i do like about getting packages from the USPS is that it comes before noon. UPS and FedEx usually dont deliver to my house until after 5pm, which can be a huge PITA if i have to sign for something. i see its "out for delivery" at 5am but yet it doesnt get to my house for another 12 hours and their depots are a few minutes away.
usps/ups/fedex rarely if ever shows up around me until after three.
And at least in my area, the UPS/FedEx folks are fit, unlike my fat mailman who has lost multiple packages since I moved into my place a year ago.
<edit> On a serious note, did you NOT read the article?
Not to mention UPS/FedEx employees. A $9.2B deficit, should have gone commercial.
I love flat rate boxes, but I can't ship a bike (at least not one my size) via USPS at all.

Living in a rural area, I use USPS a lot - it's my default for shipping things and I have found the service reliable. New Hampshire does not send me my carry permit by FedEx, they do so by USPS. I would not be happy if they fell victim to the teabaggers.
Every freaking proposal to let business do it better so far with the possible exception of the dissolution of Ma Bell has led to less service at a much steeper cost and many more people unemployed. Fvck corporate "entrepreneurs".

If you lived real rural Ma Bell was great, but that was then.
That's awesome. Love to hear NC small biz doing well.
If I wore jeans I'd give'em a try.
Uh, did you mean USPS instead of UPS? Otherwise I'm missing the point here...
the point being other forms of package delivery being brought up in the thread?
