    I guess I might be the only USPS hater here, but once again they have screwed me. Tracked the package and they said no one was at my 9-5 business on a monday so they left a notice. Yeah, like that happened. Who knows where the hell they went to and at what time. None of the postal carriers in this state have ANY idea what they are doing or where they are going. It's so bad that we have considered purchasing a post office box so we don't have to rely on the delivery people anymore, since they not only lost my cigars (one thing) but the payments our customers make on their invoices (quite another). I can take delays but I can not take the lost packages anymore. UPS has rarely been late but NEVER lost one of my many packages. Thank GOD I can at least rely on them.

    Nope, you are not alone in your hatred for the USPS. I can't count on two hands how many times they've pulled stupid crap on me. I have a post earlier in this thread that lays out some of the ways they've pissed me off. The USPS is an absolute joke where I'm at and I regularly choose UPS over the USPS when I have the option.

    Yea I'm a USPS hater also. I live in a condo and they constantly put mail in the wrong boxes. Leave packages at the wrong units. Whenever I'm expecting a package from USPS I have to walk around the complex to make sure they did not leave it at the wrong persons door. Forget it if have to go pick up a package. The people that work there are miserable. They open their doors late. and have no late nights. UPS never gives me a problem. If I miss a delivery I call UPS and pick it up the same night at the delivery center. Never a problem with UPS.

    I've always liked USPS and they never did me wrong, until I just checked my COTMC and it says: MISSENT.

    Oh boy.... here we go!

    Placed my first ccom order early Monday, Nov. 23. Still waiting! It's been sitting in the distribution center 1 hour away since Friday. Maybe I should drive over and get them myself Of course, I picked the cheapest level of UPS.

    If it was at your local sort facility early yesterday morning (like 4-7 a.m.), then you should have had it yesterday. I say that because UPS and FedEx, before yesterday, hadn't delivered any regular mail since last Wednesday. Friday is not a regular delivery day. Bummer man.

    You guys need to move to the Chicago area.. Both UPS and USPS have their stuff together. Never have a problem, And I could not be more pleased with the service they provide. ( Knock on wood ) Oh yeah and FED EX, they are even better.. They get the stuff to my house before I order it !! (JK) But they are good too.

    Well, the Friday after Thanksgiving isn't a normal delivery date (I used to work in that business). At least you got your stuff, hopefully it's all in good condition!

    there is a shipping method ccom has starting using that has UPS carry the package, and USPS actually delivers it. This is probably why it takes freaking forever to get a package sent this way. and since I live outside ATL in the 'burbs, its probably even slower. Oh well, at least the shipping comes humidified.....unless you get a box, in which case I guess you're screwed.

    That tracking deal that the USPS has set up BLOOOOWS... I am part of the CotMC and although I have never had a problem with the actual delivery, every time I look on line to see where the order is/going it always has my address wrong or its going to P.O. Box... go figure.

    My UPS is spot on here. I always get my packages exactly when they are scheduled for. UPS driver is in my neighborhood everyday at the same time. Hell he is more reliable then the USPS here. I think like anything in life there is good and bad. Service might suck balls in your area while it excels in other areas. Just be nice if they could get it together and be consistent!

    Well, I finally got my big order in yesterday. Everything was in order, but an 11 day delivery time still sucks. The only thing I will give UPS is that things show up in good shape and don't get lost. Then again I've had really good luck with USPS up here and they take 2-3 days max. Not a UPS fan...

    Wow, 11 days?? that's crazy. And I thought 7 days was bad. Were your cigars still in good shape?
