USPS - back to pony express days!

[Phil Yearout]

I don't think it matters much who the carrier is; I dropped off two Amazon returns at the UPS store on May 26. Nine days later one shows as delivered, the other still shows as in transit.

I ordered a gift for my wife via overnight FedEx; it was to be delivered Christmas Eve. Had it shipped to the office because I knew she'd know what it was, and specifically went in that day just to get the package. Around 10:00 or so I tracked it and FedEx said "delivery attempted, business closed". NOT TRUE! They did not attempt, and we were not closed. I had to go to the airport and retrieve it, and if you don't think THAT was fun...! I will say some very nice FedEx employees helped me find it.

I was having my Dickson 28 gauge returned to me from some work Jack Rowe did on it. This was back when I was still working in the Provost's Office at the University. The UPS guy, knowing I was at work and not at home, delivered the gun to my office. My assistant at the time was a retired Army colonel and he knew exactly what was in the package...and that it violated University and Board policies. Fortunately, he could keep his mouth shut. I was able to sneak the box out unobserved. Life in a small town(!), where the UPS guy knows you...where you live and work. This was back in the early 2000s. I can only imagine the demonstrations the same thing would inspire in my faculty colleagues today. Try being a gun owner and hunter in a university of "open minded" PhDs.

At 11:30 am today I received a USPS package in Orefield, PA that shipped from Oracle, AZ on Monday, June 01. It contained a nice Redhead Elliot case that was expertly packaged. Excellent transaction and good service by USPS. Wish every shipment went this smoothly. Thank you Tim Thomas!
