So i ordered a number of items through ebay.
For the last three years or so i have seen a very noticeable drop in quality of service with the various delivery companies including the postal service.
But this past week just takes the cake.
Now granted i am working with a P.O. Box and the post office likes things neat and tidy.
But I have never had any problems with delivery of items that have the physical address rather than the P.O. Box. I assume this is due to the people int he local office knowing who I am.
OK, so far so good.
Well three weeks ago I ordered an item from the Ukraine. Because I purchased several different items at the same time, one of which refused a P.O. Box, I used the physical address.
Well the part from the Ukraine came in, and was actually in the post office being handled by the personnel.
Suddenly the tracking system says that there is a delivery problem and the address is wrong.
Voila.. No notice of delivery, no curtsy aspect, nothing.
They slap undeliverable on the package and send the thing right back to the Ukraine.
I try an intercept notice and they in turn put INTO THE PO BOX that they cannot deliver because of the WRONG ADDRESS and the carrier according to the post office DOESN'T KNOW THE ADDRESS!
So how did they know where to put the notice?
Keep in mind this has NEVER happened before (at least to my knowledge, but now I wonder)
Then with some of the other carriers, they transport them from one end of the country to another. FedUp plays this game of transporting packages to Commerce City CO, (I am in NM) and parking the various packages at that lot for 3-5 days doing nothing, while regular transport trucking is shipping stuff up and down daily.
In one instance, it was sitting in CO Monday morning, and later that day, moved it to Texas, then BACK to CO in the same day.
In another instance, they actually shipped it to Albuquerque, then shipped it BACK to CO the next day, then BACK to Albuquerque the day after that.
Is it me or is it the poor education, lack of couth, ethics and morals or just good 'ol Beelzebub doing this?
