<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MIGuy, post: 7609817, member: 116145&quot;]A bitter moment and a personal anecdote - personal anecdotes do not outweigh data.&nbsp; I am excited about a UPS delivery that was loaded on the truck at 6:30 am and went out for delivery at 9:08 am (nice they update both of those facts).&nbsp; So the UPS big brown truck just backed into my driveway about 15 minutes ago, I&#039;m in the upstairs front room, so I have a view of the drivers seat, he&#039;s shuffling padded envelopes (what a coincidence, that sounds like my package probably) and then after about 5 minutes he appears to throw them to his passenger seat and drives away.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not badmouthing this guy - it&#039;s 5:21 pm local time and he&#039;s had a hell of a day I&#039;ll bet, so I&#039;ll probably get my package tomorrow, but in my experience over the last 4 decades or so that I&#039;ve been sending packages, my money is always on the USPS to get it there faster and safer.&nbsp; They pay their people better and seem to take some pride in their work.&nbsp; I feel genuinely bad for the UPS, FedEx and Amazon drivers - they have no unions, lower wages and no benefits to my knowledge.&nbsp; I appreciate them all, but if I have to send something, my first choice is the USPS.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
