USPS is the only mail service with a 100% on time delivery track record with me. FedEx and UPS can suck it.

FedEx tried to deliver me a letter last week. I have a mailbox outside, but they somehow got into my apartment complex, got all the way to my door. They didn’t knock, they just left a note saying I wasn’t there.

I was most definitely there…

Fedex and ups aren’t allowed to use mailboxes

They do anyway at most places I've lived, unless it's a package (regardless of size).

It's 100% true. We're not allowed to use mailboxes. But then again there's plenty of lazy drivers out there that cut corners wherever they can. Depending on how much the local post office cares, they will collect any packages ups/fedex puts in a mailbox and call them to come get them.

They NEVER knock. You can be sitting there 5 feet from the open door waiting for the package and they will put an entry in that you were not home.

There’s no benefit for them to do all that work and lie that you weren’t home. It creates more work for them.

And yet it happens all the time. When I lived in an apartment in college, more than once I would be expecting a package and be home prepared to receive it. But they would just leave a note, no knocking, and leave. I'd have to go to the shipping depot to receive my package.

FEDEX was the worst for it.

They're Government-owned so it makes sense, their motto in NYC says a lot, same goes for them having a dang Fraud and Forensics group

Lol, I had to submit tax returns for my employer via certified mail with electronic return receipt. Out of about 30, I’ve gotten about 25 actual delivery confirmations.

Don’t exactly have the highest hopes for USPS after this…

HEAVILY depends on the quality of your local post office. My local post office for example is always late, regularly loses packages, and will pull shit like claiming they delivered something when they never even drove within a mile of the destination.

I have a video doorbell and proof of them sticking that sorry we missed you tag on the door without even attempting to alert me. Showed the post office the video and they don't care. Another time they said they couldn't deliver because "the business was closed"...when the delivery address was my house. Every time stuff has gotten lost or destroyed its been USPS.
