F*ck the post office

[gearheadE30]

So I'm currently living in an apartment while I work for Chrysler. It's a really nice place, actually, except that I can't get a single god damn package delivered. I've had 5 packages come via USPS, and 4 via Fedex so far this summer. Fedex called me when their driver couldn't find my apartment on the first package. ever since, it's been good.

The fucking post office, on the other hand, has fucked up every single one. And, naturally, the nearest post office is a solid 10+ mile drive, and it's detroit traffic. It's a bitch to get there after work. So the first one, it's like fine, I'll do the same as with fedex and let them know that they have to go around the building to get to my place. No luck. They didn't even bother leaving notices that they had tried to deliver in the mailbox out front, so I had no idea until I got messages from the seller saying the box got sent back. Well, now they have not only managed to do that, but also to just fucking lose a box with another $150 or so in parts for my e30 and had me driving all over the damn city saying it was at the next post office over. So they've cost me that plus another probably $50 for returned shipping cost. In 6 weeks, $200 lost (plus all the gas money) to a bunch of incompetent waffleswaffleswaffleswaffless and there isn't a damn thing I can do about it. I'm fucking pissed.

Take comfort that the Postal Service wont be around in 10 years. Not in its current form at least.

The gas lost is your own fault. There's this nifty invention called a phone.

As for the USPS, complain to your local postmaster about the route driver and inform them to actually deliver to the apartment if it doesn't fit in the box out front, that is their job. That many of your packages have been sent back erroneously due to the drivers laziness, costing the USPS time and money.

I have shipped thousands of packages through the USPS and only 1 has been officially lost.

It's not a bunch of incompetent waffleswaffleswaffleswaffless, It's just one lazy fucker.

This is true. I called all of the post offices in the area yesterday. One said they had it. I went to that one today after work, and they actually didn't have it, and that they called another and that one had it. So I've been to 3 post offices today. Just because I'm angry right now doesn't mean I'm an idiot.

I got the postmaster's number today and will be doing that. I've only lived in this apartment for 6 weeks, and will only be here another 5, not that that makes a huge difference I suppose. Like I said, I did tell them how to get to my apartment and to leave it at the door.

I appreciate where you're coming from with the lazy motherfucker bit because I probably sound like I'm completely victimizing myself, but I did actually try, or at least everything I knew how to do.

I didn't see you completely victimizing yourself, just a man frustrated at an individual, condemning the entire workforce.

Example, My uncle was released from the hospital with an infection in his foot.

Doctor said it's nothing, don't worry about it. Just treat it with some stuff he gave him.

It was something, and because it went treated wrongly, half of it is now gone because they had to lop it off. We (the family, AND him) are not going to condemn the entire hospital, just the lazy fucking doctor that didn't know what the fuck he was talking about.

[Mlarsen]

Ever think of getting shit shipped to your work?

[gearheadE30]

I have actually, but with 14000 people in the building, I don't think that would help my chances...

[Mlarsen]

14000 people

:shock: Fuck, that's a lot people. When you said Chrysler I thought you were talking about a dealership/

Our fucking mail lady will deliver the mail some days at like 10am then the next at 4pm. Then recently she decided to smash a CPA certificate(thing you frame and put in your offfice to show how cool you are). and folds the fucking thing on top of where it says do not fold. Then she crams a package into the mail box the next day, I literally had to give about three good yanks to get it out of there.

Welcome to the actual auto industry. Now picture how many people got laid off when the plant(s) in detroit, flint, saginaw, etc, started closing.

Our mailman fucking sucks. Lazy bastard won't even come up our steps to the mailbox half the time.
