Kudos to the USPS

Hello.

As most of you already know, I am not one to really shy away from controversy, even if it means letting people know when I receive inferior service. That being said, when I am delighted, I feel I should trumpet the provider as well.

In my audio and non-audio dealings, I have dealt with a variety of shippers.

DREADFUL(and I can't stress that enough) has been FedEX Ground.

But, Priority Mail from the USPS has always been very good. I am not sure why I am surprised by that, but I really am. I used to work at the USPS while in college, and I encountered the malaise and all that went with it first hand.

This week, I placed an order late Wednesday evening from a company in California. I live in Pennsylvania, and received a reply on Thursday stating my package was shipped. Lo and behold, when I got home Friday, there it was. Basically, a day to get from one side of the country to the other. No muss, no fuss. Nothing was damaged, and I would have gotten a smile and a wave from my postman had I been home.

Great service, and a great job.

Kudos to the USPS!!!

Hey Y'all,

I've been sending and receiving almost everything I've bought or sold here on Audiogon through the USPS and I have never had a problem. I stopped using UPS because they destroyed a speaker I purchased right in front of me. Fed EX is to far away to be convenient and I've just gotten to trust the USPS so much, I can't see going anywhere else.

I will jump on the USPS wagon too. The 2 day service is a great bargain. If you have a large heavy item to ship and are not in a great hurry, go Greyhound. The buyer just has to pick it up at the bus terminal.

Hello, dear fellows Audiogoners.
I live in Sicily,Italy, and have already used several times your Postal Service to get here at my address most of gear I've bought in Usa via Audiogon.
Happy to say I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM and found it very cheap also.
Thanks USPS!
