<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LA_Geezer, post: 3646221, member: 89393&quot;]I think there are pockets of poor USPS service, but on the whole, I&#039;d have to say that they provide my neighborhood with better service than the guys in the brown trucks, and by a good deal.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a good friend whose birthday is Monday, 8/12, so I calculated that the priority mail parcel I had for this occasion should be posted on Thursday, 8/8. When I arrived at the local post office, though, the parking lot was full and the waiting line was outside the door. I decided to go to UPS where I got close-in handicapped parking and immediate service once I was inside. The agent told me that the parcel would arrive 8/13 and I said this wouldn&#039;t do since the post office would deliver it on the 12th, according to their website. The attendant then said, that for $108 the parcel would be delivered that Saturday. We&#039;re just talking a 3-pound parcel, the contents of which are valued less than $10, so I declined the offer; I wanted it delivered Monday, anyway.</p><p><br /></p><p>Tracking shows that it will be a miracle if the parcel is delivered Tuesday, as it left here three days ago and has spent the weekend in Atlanta.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
