UPS/USPS shipping issue

[zoom-zoom]

I'll also chime in - it's a rural thing. I've lived in suburbs or urban places most of my life and never had any issues. Now I live in the boonies and I see this UPS/USPS thing happening a lot. The funny thing is, UPS delivers to us almost daily because we order a lot online and my H works from home. Our local mail service is sketchy, so we always choose UPS if we have the option. Since this started happening, now we can't tell HOW or even IF we'll get packages. And since UPS does come by so often, I can't imagine why they'd ever use the post office. Bizarre and frustrating!

This is precisely what makes no sense about it to me, too.

The only issue I've had with UPS was not UPS's fault, but the fault of the company I was working with. They kept shipping things to the wrong address. They said it was signed for. Um, well I didn't sign for it and at this point my husband had already moved to our current area for his new job, so he wasn't with in 5 hours of the house to be able to sign for it. Yep they mailed the stuff to the wrong address and expected me and UPS to track down the package. Um, nope your problem for mailing it to an incorrect address. Idiots.

On the other hand we are currently waiting on a package to be delivered by UPS to us. Long story, but my oldest cat is not eating again and after having moved we have lost our syringes that we use to force feed her, so ordered some new ones through Dr Foster and Smith's catalog and are waiting their arrival. UPS is showing it is supposed to get here on Monday. Hopefully it gets here sooner as we need it sooner rather than later, esp since the syringe I bought at Petsmart is a piece of junk.
