Postal Service ( USPS ) this Year

slim jim · #23 01-08-2013

it's really amazing how lazy they can be. they run it like they are doing a favor rather than valuing business. you don't understand the arguments i had to have with multiple workers that my shipments could be scanned in. it's just silly. back to what you were asking, i found this, don't know if it can help:

USPS - Frequently Asked Questions - Shipment Confirmation Acceptance Notice (SCAN) Form

This is exactly what I was Posting about above, What I do not know is what software allows you to Print this scan form, as I Posted above I Know that Paypal Multi order shipping does NOT have this feature, I believe that this feature is only found in Click-n-Ship, but Im not sure

i never even heard of this before you mentioned it. i just checked my stamps.com software and it has that option. how it works i have no idea but i will definitely try it out and i think you can do a free trial with them to check it out yourself. i will see if i can find any others that work too

How it works is easy,,at the end of your "session" Print it out, and all the packages that you prepared labels for durring that "Session" will be encoded onto that one scan sheet, Now drop off the whole load,scan the 1 sheet and ALL the packages will show Acceptance,,,,,Im gonna set up a Stamps.com account,,Thanks Rabbi

that's great cause my packages are usually bigger and i like to try and make their jobs easier (than they are already ) just to get done what i need done. it's funny i never even noticed the option before. hope it works good

yikes this is scary.

im first class with most of my stuff and it moves fast and i have no issues.

my packages are kinda puffy and I use super neon bright crazy ass labels so they stand out.

Cant stand my post offices. Took two weeks to get a very important letter back to me, no idea why. I can only assume I dropped it in with the drop box slot, and not a letter bin. I guess the 15$ an hour worker that should be 6.50$ worker didnt like that and decided to return it to me, even though I used their automated postage machine !!!!

Their automated machines are always down. And 4-5 times out of 10 the drop box shoot is clogged....most of the times its because the workers use a cart to catch the boxes, once the cart is filled, it clogges the shoot. Common sense says, dont use a cart, and then the boxes can fall free, allowing more room. This requires most importantly, brains, and second, more work the following work.

Didnt have any lost packages this year but christmas time I did get a bunch of late deliveries.

I cant wait till they go bankrupt. im sorry but those guys are way over paid.

I get so pissed off when the tracking doesn't work and then I look like the scamer on ebay and they open up a case against me saying "they never got the product" and want their money back! I reship it with the same shipping label and it works! At times tracking doesn't work until it's at their house.

I believe USPS should be checked by the FBI cause I am 150% sure they are stealing peoples mail and gifts. These people should be happy to have those high paying hour jobs for doing F ALL!!!!!

I can see why most of them lost their jobs!

And wow I can't believe they have an auction off for lost mail wow how about returning to sender???

I once called and complain that they lost 3 packages in one month you know what they tell me on the 800 number? "Sir you should buy insurance" I am thinking WTF they steal your stuff! And force you to buy insurance! This should be looked at by the feds!

That's mail fraud! And most of my crap is shipped from Detroit or passing by Detroit and I use to live there so I know how they get down there in Detroit. LAZY and people steal there!

I have a suggestion, don't use USPS if they don't work for you

Hey Slim they work but at times there is one missing package here and there. What else too use for the same price?

slapped · #33 01-22-2013

If you call usps they will put a trace on it. It hashelped with a few 'lost' packages

I've done that many times, it has never helped me

slim jim · #36 01-23-2013

Hopefully the scan form helps. If u r shipping a lot of packages at once could be temporary holiday workers with sticky fingers

If not using USPS then what other services should we use? For the same price range?

NONE, and thats exactly the problem, all other companies are far more expensive than USPS, that why it is so hard to leave them
