Ok so USPS is supposed to be the most economical way of shipping. I am beginning to think the saying "you get what you pay for" is true! A few weeks ago I sent out a shipment priority w/ delivery confirmation and for a whole week + the shipment was missing. Despite my MANY phone calls no one could give me any more information then what was available online and all that was stated online was that I had dropped it off. Yeah I know I dropped it off! Well the shipment did get delivered eventually but by then I had already refunded the guy his money in full even shipping costs. He stated half the roaches were dead. I was glad to hear half were alive.
Today I sent out another shipment using express. I was surprised when it came to $21.05 seeing as I had calculated it at 17 and some change. Anyways it wasnt until a little bit ago when I was looking at my receipt that I realized that they had charged me 3+ dollars for 1 tenth of a ounce. NOT 1 ounce but .1 ounce. I mean give me a break people! They make more then enough money then to have to worry about charging people for tenths of ounces. Darn if I had just left out that very last half a piece of newspaper I put in for cushioning! Or maybe used the shipping tape more sparingly. It probably would do me no good calling or e-mailing them complaining and asking for a $3+ dollar credit
I know your probably thinking it is just 3 bucks and some change but that is alot to us hard working poor people!
This is only my 2nd time using express and I always thought it was overnight and if you listen to them they pretty much advertise it overnight. But both times I have used it I was told that the overnight could not be guaranteed and only 2 day delivery could be guaranteed. WHY!?
I just wanted to vent. Hopefully this shipment arrives at its destination without any problems. WISH ME LUCK! Thanks for letting me vent. Lindsay
