[Boatanchors] Shipping damage

[D C _Mac_ Macdonald]

I can only state that ONLY the USPS has NOT destroyed stuff I have bought.  And I have well over 1000 purchases through eBay over the past 8-10 years or so!  Fedup (oops, FedEx) has been the worst for me!

People who believe the US Postal Service is horrible (or worse) should try dealing with almost every other postal service in the world.  Only the Brits, Germans, Aussies, Zedders, and Japanese have even slightly comparable postal service!

Yea .. I guess it is asking too much now days for a company to provide the service and care you pay for and expect.   Many companies just don't have common decency anymore.  Theyre only interested in how much money they can line their pockets with instead of actually providing a good service that the customer wants and is entitled to expect.

It's not surprise to me that the Post Office continues to go deeper and deeper down the toilet, especially when it comes to letters.  Any day of the week, I would opt to send an email instead of counting on the post office actually deliver a piece of mail.  That's why they keep jacking up rates.   And at the same time, every time they jack up rates, fewer and fewer people are opting for other methods instead of sending a piece of paper through the mail.  Come January, they are jacking up the price of a letter to 50 cents.  And ... you can expect that fewer and fewer things will be mailed.   Even catalogs ..  a company can deliver a whole catalog by PDF in an email and doesnt have to pay the post office to carry it to your house, taking a week or more to get it to you.    When Amazon starts its own delivery fleet, youre going to see screams of agony from the post office, UPS and FedEx because they are really going to take it in the shorts.  Hopefully, Amazon will treat package
 s and customers with more respect than the other three.   Too bad though that Amazon wont be carrying anything other than their own merchandise.
