Yes sir! I hear people complain all the time about the cost of a first class stamp, yet, that same stamp will send a letter around the GLOBE.It's a 3.1% increase.
Still cheaper than everyone else and you sure as hell can't drive it there for that.
Yes, and your point? USPS is still a bargain compared to FedEx or UPS.April 3,2022 rates go up again for box shipping. this pic is from my local usps office.

That's still no excuse for crappy service though. Your point is well taken. I just got a new ammeter for my tractor. It was supposed to be here on the 9th. It got here day before yesterday. It sat in one location according to tracking for 11 days. Ridiculous, when it was shipped two day priority.yes you are both correct.
Nope. International First Class is $1.30.Yes sir! I hear people complain all the time about the cost of a first class stamp, yet, that same stamp will send a letter around the GLOBE.
The oversize fee went from $14.50 to $15.00.Those aren't shipping increases per se, they are additional charges (surcharge) added on to the current cost. Still better than driving it there, but..................
In essence if you ship a larger than 2 cubic foot box, and lets say it is 40 bucks to ship across the country today, it will now be 55, at least that's how it was explained to me.
Still a screamin deal.Nope. International First Class is $1.30.

Blame the crappy service on Amazon, DHL and UPS.That's still no excuse for crappy service though. Your point is well taken. I just got a new ammeter for my tractor.

I used to see it all the time.Interesting, I have never been charged an oversize fee.
I talk to my regular carrier often. She says they have quotas to meet that sometimes are as much as 400-600 a day. She does a really good job, but when she's off we can really tell it. lolBlame the crappy service on Amazon, DHL and UPS.
Their business model depends on the USPS to work and they've bogged down the system badly.
Then there's the fact that one president created an undue burden on the USPS that caused a downsizing in manpower, then a different president on the other side of the aisle decided that they were going to a 3 day delivery scheme. That only further crippled the USPS.
The USPS is hiring like mad. People are taking the jobs thinking it's a cake walk and finding out otherwise.

I guess that's how they see too. lol"It was supposed to be here on the 9th. It got here day before yesterday. It sat in one location according to tracking for 11 days."
"it was shipped two day priority"
Supposed to be there on the 9th, sat for 11 days.........shipped with two day priority..... ergo, 11 minus 9 equals 2!!!! Where's your issue????
Where's your complaint......most folks don't ever get there item at all!!!Yeah, I had something shipped from California 2 day priority a couple weeks ago, it took 2 weeks to get here.
With many fewer dead horse!!!!!!!!!!!The postal service is still a great deal after all of these years ! In the 1860s you could send a letter in 6 days via pony express from St. Louis, MO to Sacramento,CA for $1.
Now you still get the same number of days for the same amount of money.
Yote
Where's your complaint......most folks don't ever get there item at all!!
If you check the FedEx website you'll find that they have revised their delivery gaurantee:Yeah we are still waiting on a Christmas gift our youngun had shipped to us 2 Christmases ago, LOL.
