Now we got someone else to worry about!

[shaun]

For you US guys there is now someone else that is willing to steal money out of your pocket.  It is called the US Postal Service.  I sent a package to Peggy, it was suppose to be delivered today. China Post said they attempted delivery but in fact they did not.  Peggy and I were chatting on the internet during the time they said they attempted delivery.  Her cell phone was clearly on the label.  China Post said they attempted the delivery.  No way possible.

I just got off of the phone with the US Postal Service.   I simply wanted them to drop it down to the lower rate since they missed the delivery date.  They won't do it.  They won't investigate.  They won't do anything but say that Peggy should call them tomorrow and arrange a delivery with China Post.

The one thing I found interesting in the conversation was that any evidence was simply my opinion.  There are things they will refused to say.  I asked them will they refund if I can prove that it wasn't delivered.  They would not respond to the question.

So now the US Postal Service joins in concert with Chnlove in ripping people off from their money.

I send papers/discs up to NY all the time via USP. I get a tracking ticket (to be sure where it is) and a conformation it's worth it.

I went to have lunch the other day and knew the waitress from where? She worked at the local post office and retired. Just shows how much I'm in there. On the way back I went past the FedEx building which is now a A/C service? I haven't been down to the UPS building so wonder if it's still there? They're all the same. Rip offs

Shaun,
My wife sent a box of gifts to a friend by express mail through the USPS and it has a guarantee date. I tracked the package and it was several days late. They refunded the entire $120 fee. I had to send in some documentation and receipts, but got my money. Maybe try it that way next time.

Thanks I'll try it this time.  Maybe the witch I spoke with will not see mail.  She almost reminded me of my ex-wife except not as difficult.

So far things sent to me from the states have arrived/ all be it 4-5 days later than promised. I am waiting for a package from my sister with some very important things inside (chili mix, Kool-ade, chow mein noodles). We'll see if it gets here.  Putting the phone number somewhere on the box usually guarentees delivery.  Now that I have said that it will probably bring bad luck and I will never see m chili mix.

Gosh I am slow. I have been reading your posts for months and your postscript " Life....It's all about finding the Chicks and Balances "

Play on words. I finally got it.

Well, my coworkers mentioned that my three weeks gone would give them some respite to my punny ways. With my return this Monday back to work, I had a few ask me, " How was your trip?" : with my reply, " I fell". After their concerned inquiry on any sustained injury..... I hinted that they had gotten rusty with my absence.
