Capepuffin Posted March 25, 2003 Report Share Posted March 25, 2003 I sent out a DV letter, overnight - very expensive. $14.00. Its destination was CA. I'm in MA. Anyways this is what happened: Left P.O in my town, MA.Went to central distribution areaWent to GUAM!then onto Hawaii!It ended up in CA. 7 days later! So much for overnight.A little mis-routed I'd say! The P.O. did refund my money. :upsidown: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kb9tbq Posted March 25, 2003 Report Share Posted March 25, 2003 That is messed up - should ask the post office what kind of drugs their employees are using to send your mail on holiday. Next time you should ship yourself for a nice trip around the world, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Posted March 26, 2003 Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 Next time try FED Ex. Since they are a private institution, they are going to be way more efficient than the government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USPS or Fedx. She said, "I don't know, I should do some research on it, but if you find out let me know because I am asked that all of the time!"This was a one time thing I had to do for my credit repair, over-nighting letters, I don't need to do this in the future.Yes, I agree Fedx for overnighting letters. It is a little more expensive than the USPS though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Posted March 26, 2003 Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 You can also send things FedEx Ground.....your mail will get there in 2-3 days, be certified, require signatures, and costs about $4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadynRed Posted March 26, 2003 Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 IME - bottom line.. if it HAS to be there by a certain date/time do NOT trust the USPS. Ever since it went to a private company it has been WORSE than it ever was. What amazes me is the USPS posts millions in profits then cries and whines for a postage rate increase.. but WE get NO increase in SERVICE !!
