Good and bad with UPS

[grover99]

Of the three delivery services around here UPS is the best. Better than Fed-X and way better than USPS. Do have a problem with UPS now and again but today I got an example of what I hate most about them. DUST! Almost every box I get from them is covered with a fine tan dust. The box I got today was so bad I had to change my t shirt afterwards. Don't see it with boxes from the other carriers . Not sure why this is. Anybody noticed this with UPS or is it just me.

I've always had pretty good luck with USPS and UPS, but FedEx has consistently been horrendous. Lost packages, wrong addresses, the works. I avoid them when I have the choice.

I've not had that problem with any of the carriers (dust). I'd much rather see UPS brings my packages as opposed to Fedex or the USPS. But i can see where such a dust problem would really be annoying. Is it possible the driver is going down dusty roads prior to your place, and the seals on the ruck aren't as good as they should be?

All items come dusty to my place. Bound to happen as far as my house is from pavement.

Well.....I'd rather receive a dusty package, on time, from UPS than a two-week late, clean package, from the other guys.

Make that three-weeks, but I digress.....

Love the big brown truck.

Like most folks, I've had occasional problems with all of the carriers over many years, but in general Fedex & UPS have been pretty good to me. USPS, on the other hand, seems to have gone completely crazy. I sent a certified letter to a business no more than 20 miles away. It arrived at the destination post office the next day, then was sent some 300 miles in the other direction. Time from mailing to delivery was a full week.

classic example....Put a gun on layaway with 90 days to pay....so I mailed the final payment luckly before the 90 days was up to avoid forfeture(?)...So I send priority and instead of the payment going to the intended address.in Mo. they send it to an address in Mn. It was sent priority on Sept. 3 rd and its STILL floating around.....and was sent PRIORITY!!!....GEEZ!!
