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.

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

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).

I purchased an item from fellow member Coop Creek here, let him tell you how USPS delivered the package.
The package tracking list was like a comedy of errors.

9 days for the USPS package.. in contrast to 2 days for a package from Australia. I received them both today.
