Re: Post Office Price Changes Again
Yeah they are really getting bad. I just started using UPS almost exclusively unless I am shipping in state.
It is almost always $10 to ship with UPS, but you get $100 of insurance, real time tracking, and door-step delivery. UPS want more and more for each service. They upped the delivery confirm and insurance rates too.

Re: Post Office Price Changes Again
USPS pissed me off when I shipped a package to hawaii with $400+ worth of phones I sold on egay. I sent it parcel post, because usps says it would take a week or two. Well, after a month or two it still showed "electronic information received" or whatever. The guy filed a claim, got his money back, and a week or two later it showed "delivered" and was ------- signed by him. Of course, at this point, paypal was of no use

Re: Post Office Price Changes Again
I can agree with the shittiness of Parcel Post and I will never use it for anything. My girl ordered something online and the seller put the wrong zipcode on the package. It was just off by the last digit, they knew exactly where it was going regardless of that fact. It took 2 weeks to arrive in my city from 5 states away, then it took 2 more weeks once they found out the zip was wrong 
Parcest post means lowest priority, so nobody gives a ---- about your package. Don't ever use that ----. I'm a cheap *** **** but even I won't stoop that low.

USPS' tracking is a joke. I've got a package before and still had it show online "electronic information received. It's garbage.

Re: Post Office Price Changes Again
I just remembered too, I sold a moped frame to some kid in Hawaii. I was forced to use parcel post because the package was too large to fit on an airplane. Took over 2.5 months to reach him 
He sent me cash in the mail though so I wasn't worried about a chargeback. He kept asking me where it was and I got tired of it real quick and ignored him
Then one day he says he received it.
