I'm always sad when I hear things like this for the USPS and I get even more mad about PAEA. I love the USPS. They're cheap and efficient. I always get mad when certain businesses force UPS or FedEX, because they cost way too much and it takes forever.

ia. We've had our share of problems with the USPS, but I will stan for life because dealing with UPS and FedEx is a thousand times worse. USPS sends us free mailing implements when we need them, gives us special daily bulk pickup from a friendly mailman, and lends us plenty of big bags to put the mail in. On the other hand, the UPS guy is a dickbag who treats us like shit because we receive a lot of large boxes and has tried to purposely knock so quietly that we won't hear him. Too bad we've got huge living room windows, dickbag.

I hate it when the UPS guy does that! I always like to burst through the door right as they start walking away like (in Doakes voice) "SURPRISE MUTHAFUCKA!"

I almost fell over when Fedex made me buy a box all the while charging $66. The recipient paid, but still. When did that happen?

Yeah, seriously.

I hate UPS. I hate FedEx. I always go through USPS when I can - they're much cheaper and quicker than the others, and I've never had anything lost through them.

Sure, they're not perfect, but they're a hell of a lot better than the other alternatives.

Yeah, the only issue I have with USPS is their online tracking and honestly, while it's nice and all, it's not essential.

I have way better luck with their tracking than with UPS. Like, my experience with USPS's tracking is they'd update it every time someone would look at the thing, whereas UPS wouldn't update for days so I never had any idea where the hell my stuff actually was.

LMAO and then you randomly check it and suddenly there are like 500 updates and at the very bottom: "ATTEMPTED DELIVERY" and you're like FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
