Ship Your Packages UPS for the Holidays
08 December 2006 02:28 PM | Personal
I'm looking at my Amazon order history. One Monday the 6th of December I ordered six gift items to be sent as gifts to different addresses. I was amazed that all the items were listed as having shipped either on the 6th or on the 7th. I specifically did chose Standard Shipping (not the free shipping) and paid extra for it for all packages. Two packages shipped via UPS and the other four packages shipped US Postal Service (USPS). Now I just checked package tracking on all shipments: the two UPS packages are both being delivered to their final destination today; of the 4 USPS packages only one has been picked up from the shipper and God knows where it is, and three are still waiting to be picked up by the USPS.

Obviously, despite their disastrous attempt to rebrand themselves as "Brown", UPS has better service. Hands down. Just saying.
