One more thing. Retailer77, almost non of us take anything personal or serious. Quite frankly, almost nobody replies to your threads anymore because they dont care at all. You can say they could not care less I guess.

The few of us that do reply still really dont care much about your success. If you fail or not does not effect any of us in any way at all. We are here answering your simple questions because we want to help and no other reason at all.

:Peace: and I wish you luck on your ongoing journey!

By the way, 5K a day is a piss-hole in the snow. Again, very narrow minded. How much do you feel Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Amazon ship per day?

OP talks like a big wig in business but acts like a dude who works from his couch in procedures and policies and that is perfectly ok.

I have given the OP criticism because he talks a big game. His processes are more like a dude sitting at home that created a job for himself and that is cool, but why come to this forum to learn how to sell on ebay(general census of members) and make such accusations of huge volume when his procedures could not possibly be so successful or handle such business?

I know that I would never walk into a post office with and stand in line because it would take me hours. The post master would not ever allow it. As as matter of fact most require an end of day form when you have big volume. This is what relay services are for by USPS. They are for businesses with big volume to get excellent service without messing up the people who work desks, wasting time scanning packages one by one AND no busy business person has time to do these tasks. It is a $10.00 an hour job...

No high volume business brings packages to the post office daily. They have garage bays and loading docks and procedures in place to operate smoothly WITHOUT all these problems the OP has on weekly basis.

I criticize because he wants to be better. Doing these same old failing things is insanity.

Now back to my sabbatical. :peace:

Dude..it's incredible how you circumnavigate around my main point I am making..whatever man..call me small minded all you want or whatever other insulting terms you want..I really don't care..it just makes yourself look that much more immature


I'll make my point one last and final time..ok?

I get my goods picked up from my courier as you state..and you see them scan in your master label..then I go check the transit status of my items picked up that day after 20 days and there's no transit status..it even shows that the items haven't been scanned (WHICH DOES HAPPEN I'M SURE YOU KNOW..so after 10 days multiple customers complain..."wheresssssss my paaaaaackage?"
You have no proof of your package EVER being accepted by usps..so you go to claim your insurance and usps cannot help you...BUT if you gave the nice little handy dandy receipt you have proof of post office receival...do I make my point clear??
Please don't reply to this with this generic answer about how huge companies do it and how narrow minded I am..if your gonna respond do so with a response that addresses my point please.

Your logic might make sense if you have over 200 packages to be scanned in..but if you have 30-40 high value items it makes sense to get it individuallly scanned for the reasons I listed above.

Once in a while packages dont scan in. It happens. Anyone who says it never does - good for them. Happy for them in all regards that this is their experience, but in terms of usps as a whole, it can happen every now and then. Not at an alarming rate, but it does happen. If your system of drop off allows you to obtain a paper receipt without complicating things for yourself and usps does not give you a problem with this, then good. Keep doing it and best of luck to you. You would need this physical receipt in the case of an item never scanning and you looking to receive your money back.

Do whatever works for you. Each usps facility you work with can be a unique experience and so are the relationships you develop with these workers. Treat them well and they usually reciprocate the favor.

Preaching to the Choir, I've been saying the same thing for a long time now. The Post Office I go to has 4 ladies at the front counter, they all get goodies at Christmas, My Mail man gets a bottle of...well delicious liquid.

Not gonna lie, I've only ever had 2 packages not scan at all....and even then, they were delivered.

You gotta grease the palms. As far as packages not scanning... It doesnt happen often but once in a while i dont get a scan on packages i KNOW i have sent. It isnt at an alarming rate, and may have to do more with the acceptance facility your packages go to than USPS as a whole. But it can happen. If OP feeS it's worth getting a paper receipt then go for it.

I always estimate up to the nearest pound without issue. Or in your case round up a few ounces, as my scale isn't that accurate for light items. It's great for the 1-8lb range. I pay a little more, but I make up for it on the rare occasion my roommate hand delivers a package that may be 1" too long etc. (he runs the processing plant).

Wait, what? Your roommate runs a sorting facility?

Yeah lol. Although he has taken about a month off and is driving me crazy. He says he's going back tomorrow but I've heard that all month.
