We all know that The United States
Postal Service is more known to make shipping accidents than UPS, or
the United States Parcel Service.  For once in my life, I believed
this to be true.  After 3 years of doing a heavy amount of
shipping, about 4 packages a week, I have found that opposite to be
true.  USPS 2-3 Day Priority Mail with $50 of insurance ($4.05)
is much faster, and reliable than UPS Ground track (6 Day ground, $6)

Case in point: The link I gave you
above.  I ordered a CMOS for an old laptop I had recently acquired
to tinker with.  Within 3 days, it comes to the correct city,
LaCrosse WI.  Then, it decided to take a six day trek back and
forth between Cach and Peoria IL, before I had to call UPS to get them
strait.  Of course, upon checking the progress of my package, I
got the following message almost every time:

“THE PKG WAS MISSORTED AT
THE HUB. IT WILL BE REROUTED TO THE CORRECT DEST SITE”

After seeing it happen 3 times, it

kind of lost it’s effect.  I called UPS and, to my disbelief
(after getting that message 3 times, I was expecting some real idiotic
jerks) I got a kind and citreous lady on the phone that sent a message
to Peoria to get their stuff strait.  The next day, the package arrived
at my door, with 1 sticker to a Zip Code in Chicago IL, which was
covered up by about 10 to 54650, my home address.  The moral of
this story, use USPS, a company that has been handling packages and
letters for over a hundred years.

Consumer Protection
Lately, I haven’t found many people, in person, that I can some
how pummel, verbally or physically, because of their need to screw
John Q. Consumer.  If you know of anyone that is ripping off the
general public, please e-mail me, so I can do the noble thing, then
run like a dog back here and share my story.
