Shipping... AGAIN!!!
« on: 30 May 2013, 09:45 pm »
I don't know if I am the only small business guy in the world that has shipping issues.  Sometimes I think so, then I hear stories from other people and I realize that I am not.

For shipping I have long preferred using USPS Priority Mail for shipping.  They have the best record with me for getting things delivered in a reasonable amount of time, but more importantly intact, unbroken and working.  Certainly their flate rate options work for me because of the size of my packages.  A while back I had a problem with a pickup service that I used for shipping.  Dan the Postman never seemed to be predictable in his route time so I used a service.  I quit that a couple of months ago.  Everything went well for about a month and then I started having problems with the BUSSes taking a long time to clear the sort facility here.  Other items went out the next day like clockwork, but BUSSes often took 3-4 days before they would clear the facility.  I spent some time at USPS yesterday and found out what the problem is/was.  I will not bore you with details.  Shouldn't do it anyway.

I'll probably be using some different options in the future.  Please do not be surprised if I have to start charging for shipping on the BUSS-Line in the USA.  Sorry, but times are changing.

indeed Dave! one out for delivery, and one still somewhere in between, surprising how the post office works with 2 packages tendered to USPS for shipment at the same time to the same place.

Surprising how USPS does anything at the Albuquerque Station.  It is a mystery to me.   :scratch:  When I snagged the originals and repackaged them I delivered both of them to the Main office and set them on the commercial counter.

I am so confused.   :o
