    Had 2 Day Priority shipping take 12 days to reach its' destination and when I called up to get refunded they told me the 2 Day indication is not guaranteed.

    Maybe its time to do the right thing...
    Break up USPS, give half to FedEx and the other half to UPS, and save the taxpayers a lot of government waste.

    UPS

    We use UPS to deliver items to remote North Dakota. UPS uses USPS to make the delivery to the door in ND!

    Only took 6 days for you to ship the risers back using 3 day priority. I could have walked to Largo quicker. It sat in Fayettville for days without moving.

    USPS is not taxpayer funded. It operates solely on self generated revenue (shipping, stamps, PO Boxes, etc).

    I agree that a private, commercial firm can generally do a much better job (FEDEX, UPS, DHL, ABF, etc).
