    i am surrounded by idiots in the form of incompetant post and mint people. first the mint sends me defective coins and i also get some bad coins from an ebay seller. i send the coins back through the post office paying more than $25 for their return guess what happens those morons deliver the coins to me instead of the recepients and now the seller has an excuse not to accept the return coz i missed the time line its enough to drive me nuts :(

    I use to be a contractor for the post office......so I know your pain..Yeah the post office distribution center that I use to drop loads off at was a real shocker.....I would pick up a full load of mail on a 45 foot trailer....mostly with first class mail, priority, and express....not to mention a few locked bags of registered mail, and then wait, and wait, till I got off loaded.....Yeah the post office is a real treat. Ive been on loading docks were Ive found mail that was post marked from 1980's.....lol Its just unbelievable how mail can NOT get delivered. I guess after seeing what REALLY happens on the INSIDE Im just amazed how anything get delivered at all...:eek:

    Good one Hobo!

    I used to work for a contract hauler part time. Easy stuff, in theory.

    Brought my load to Hebron, IN one day. Got there and we realized that the idiots had loaded all of the mail for Hobart NOT Hebron.
    They started getting on MY butt because of this. Sorry kids YOU loaded it not me. Don't kill the messenger.

    Was that Hobart, Tasmania?

    And Hebron, Israel?

    That's a long way.

    Most times I see the seller needs to be contacted within the stated time period
    not return to be made.

    Any decent seller would be understanding of a post office screwup and would be flexible about return time. I know I would be, as long as the buyer notified me in a timely manner that they'd be returning the coins.

    Man, I agree with tradernick, see if he'll still let your return them. If not, I'd consider having a talk with the post office you sent them too. Best of luck to you man. :thumb:

    Fed Ex and UPS have shipping contracts with the Postal Service. The Postal Service ships mail by way of Fed Ex, UPS and the airlines. So if something is damaged or stolen it could be some other source besides the Postal Service.

    Well to be specific.....USPS doesnt have their own planes. They have contracts with ups and fed ex. Fed ex planes and UPS planes carry US mail. Just a thought :)

    Besides a shipment of 10 silver $s the PO only loses a Coinworld magazine on average every 6 weeks. Maybe I have a coin collecting postperson, maybe not.
