Fedex ammo experience...

[kmitch200]

Actually UPS and FedEx have both teamed with USPS for small packages.  UPS/FedEX gets it to town then dumps it with USPS.  It makes total sense.  USPS visits every address everyday (except Sundays).  Why send a big truck out to a home address for something little?   The bonus is occasionally you'll get something on Saturday that had the UPS/FedEX delivered it themselves it wouldn't have come till Monday.

 

Unless you have the fucked up skank full retard refugee from a hippy commune bitch that I have for a mail carrier!!!

This idiot has delivered gun parts to wrong addresses, delivered me someone elses mail several times, (including their bills and credit card offers), didn't deliver a Christmas wreath that was in a box big enough to put a floor fan in - and didn't deliver the note to the mailbox telling me I had that package at the PO. If the person who sent it hadn't call me, it would STILL be there.
She also delivered a signed book written by my Sister in law to 'God only knows' along with a $100 bottle of insulin for a family member that was staying with us and in that package was a check for that person for $160.

If it wasn't illegal, I'd beat the $hit out of her with a hammer.
(but since it is illegal, I won't)  
NUMEROUS complaints - face to face - with her boss hasn't changed anything. Emailed complaints don't mean squat. She will have this route and her job until she decides to not want it.

And UPS does deliver on Saturdays.
 
Ok, rant mode off...what did you guys do for relaxation today?

I'm so sorry.  Obviously life averages out.   I have the antithesis of your mail carrier.  Mine is a shooter.  Watches out for my packages.  Doesn't complain when I get 100# of bullets.  (probably works for NSA and is spying on me.) 


UPS does deliver on Saturdays, but for extra cost.

I never had to pay extra shipping to have UPS deliver a package on Saturday.

From my house to Brownell's a one pound package  UPS Ground  Monday delivery

$14.67

 
Saturday Delivery $16.00 USD ADDITIONAL  (sorry modified this to add "additional")
Note: Remember to put a Saturday Delivery sticker on your packages.

Honest, in most places you pay extra for the big brown truck to come out to your house on Saturday.  You're just extri special JF if they deliver to you without extra charge.   Or maybe you're an Amazon Prime customer.

Ding Ding Ding!!

Can we trade mail carriers?
Yours can get out of summer humidity and mine would set the NSA back 10 years.

I thought I got packages from UPS on Saturday a few times and also thought I shipped one on a Saturday but maybe not. The more I think about it the more I doubt myself.    The only time I know I paid more to ship anything was when it was second day air.

UH-OH. (see below)  It's just the front sight mount for the Mosin, but  I'm thinking the USPS has sent it to the wrong facility, twice.  Neither of those below locations serve my zip code.  My mail comes out of facility at zip 30068.   30304 is just east of the Atlanta Airport and 30320 is the Atlanta Airport.  They're going backwards! 

At best tonight they'll figure out the package is in the wrong part of Atlanta and they'll send it up to Marietta main facility, which will figure out which branch it should go to.  So Wednesday it'll show up at 30068 and then it'll go out for delivery on Thursday.   I can only hope I get it that soon, as oppose to them returning it to the shipper.   (Yes, I checked and my address is correct on the order.)

Ok...here is a new one for me.

I ordered something from Amazon. 

I am a Prime member, but this item was  not listed as a Prime product and initial delivery, by UPS, was scheduled for this coming Thru. 1/8. 

n Sat, 1/3, the expected delivery was changed to Sun, 1/4.  Sunday morning I hear a knock at my door and get there in time to see a USPS truck driving away and a package on my porch.

Ill I can figure is that the USPS is VERY interested in holding and growing this service.

I think this is basically it in a nutshell. All of this with all 3 outfits depends on the driver, along with the route you have. After all, when you break it down they're all delivery services that hire delivery men. In that regard they're no different than Domino's. For everyone who uses these services, they're no better / worse than the guy or gal driving the truck. Even though both bad experiences I had didn't involve drivers.

The first was with Natchez involving UPS. It was a case of .45 ACP Blazer Brass. It came late, repackaged, (Natchez's package had gotten broken open, and looked like the package Tom Hanks finally delivered 4 years later in "Castaway"). There were loose rounds rolling around inside. And I was missing 2 boxes with around 11 rounds missing out of the third box. I called Natchez, and they immediately apologized and sent out 5 more boxes which more than made it right. All based on my word alone. I don't know if UPS contacted them about the damage or not. I rather doubt it because they never mentioned it to me, and seemed rather surprised by the whole thing.

The second time was again with Natchez and UPS. I ordered 16 pounds of powder. (Accurate 2230-C). It was a canister powder they had a really good price on. (Just $64.00 for a 8 pound jug). The delivery time came and went. Nothing changed on UPS's website. It just kept showing, "Out For Delivery". After several days, (4 or 5), I called Natchez. While I was on the phone making arrangements for another order, UPS showed up. The package was in perfect condition, but no explanation was given.

Other than that I've never had any trouble with any of the three. UPS, Fed Ex, USPS. Of the 3 I like USPS the best. For me anyway, they're the cheapest and the fastest. Especially on stuff like Hornady 6,000 round boxes of bulk bullets, and other heavy stuff.

I have a awesome mail man, he is a big gun guy, goes to the range all the time, every time I see him in the gun shop he always says " this is supervisor ammo"    he knows when I get packages from "gun" places and always makes sure he hand delivers them, not just droping them at the door or in the mail box.  its a real blessing.  mail always gets here between 11 and 11:15 am.
