    Sounds like FrozenCPU's issue, not USPS.

    At least you didn't use FedEx, the worst shipper for personal goods in the country. FedEx is the only shipper that will hold a package until it's scheduled date of delivery, even if the package shows up a week early and the FedEx drivers are sitting on their thumbs.

    I usually get my packages a day early from FedEx and by around 12pm...UPS I usually get on the exact day and at aroud 5-6pm. So I've never had a problem with FedEx and think they're better than UPS. That's my personal opinion.

    every shipper sucks; simple as that.
    However, I'm inclined to say that UPS is exceptionally bad. My mom left her glasses home on a long vacation in canada once, so she had a friend UPS them overnight for 70 bucks to us. 4 days later, when we're checking out, they show up.

    USPS somehow thought my apartment was unoccupied so they shipped all the stuff I bought back to their respective senders. Needless to say, I was pissed.

    Got it cleared up with the Postmaster (what a cool title!) and had to pay extra to get the stuff shipped again... but it's all good...
    I'll just never choose USPS given other options.

    I used to have to deal with people like you when I used to work Catalog @ JCPenney... If you showed up on my last day there I would have knocked you out for that ... I had to deal with a couple People like that EVERY SINGLE DAY.. It wears on your ablity to control your Fist from entering their skull...
    Given the chance I WILL not Go back..
    Patience is a virtue.. Now if it was a $2,000 proc that you paid $50 for next day delievery and it hasn't shown up in 5 Days I can understand Getting Pissed but the key is to say fix it and I will wait patiently...
