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!!!

At the risk of sounding like I'm jumping on the bandwagon, I will simply say that I have mailed a LOT of audio gear and LP's by USPS during the past 4 years, and have not had a single problem. Priority Mail gets there fast, you can trace its movement using the USPS web site, and the insurance charges are reasonable. The USPS has made a real effort in recent years to become competitive with the commercial shippers, and they have largely won my business. It's also nice that I have a post office about 0.5 miles from my house, whereas the FedEx and UPS offices are a 20-minute drive.

Kudos, indeed, to the USPS.
