You had one job.

Now my mom won't get her Saints earrings.

Use UPS or FedEx, kiddies.

Use FedEx. UPS often hands off packages to the USPS, especially this time of year.

So does FedEx through FedEx Smartpost. Chances are if it's not a large object and/or not an overnight type deal is going to end up going through USPS.

Found this out the hard way the other day. Amazon confirmed package delivered. It wasn't. USPS stuck it in my PO box when it needed to come to my office-the address to where it was addressed. UPS fail.

I've gotten a few items free from Amazon due to UPS handing off to the USPS and them missing the Prime 2-day delivery window. Amazon will almost always refund your money, no questions asked.

USPS didn't even deliver my shite. I have the guy on camera driving up and driving off without even leaving his vehicle. Sort of. Camera conveniently cuts off for like 20 seconds but catches him pulling up and driving off. He didn't drop off shite in 20 seconds.

ETA: Amazon showing delivered like a motherfricker tho

This was through Amazon but from a different seller so Amazon won't help me here.

Amazon giving USPS a lot of their prime shipping is the end of an era.

The UPS driver here used to pull this shite sometimes. He shows up late and when the office is closed, will scan and confirm delivery and drop it off first thing the next morning. We have mutual friends, so I never said shite to UPS, but I did talk to him about it.

That would be fine if he dropped it off later and it wasn't 11:30 AM.

You're actually surprised OUR Federal Gov't screwed something up? C'mon you're better than that.

last year we were skipping church before we headed to go see family and i was frustrated that Prime wasn't going to get me a product before i left (Disney Infinity)

Then it showed up at 9:00 AM on a Sunday morning from USPS. i was shocked.

FedEx does the same thing.

They call it SmartPost whereas UPS calls it SurePost but they're the identical program. In most cases, UPS/FedEx delivers the packages to the local post office and then the USPS handles delivery to the door.
