Why so anti USPS?

While I am nowhere close to the 200 mark, did you mean 4/5 breaks and 3 returns on top of that (i.e. 7 or 8 incidents total)? That seems rather high based on the feedback I have received from traders more active than me who go with other carriers (Fedex/UPS).

 

Isn't it correct that USPS uses Fed Ex to handle express packages?

 

yea looking through my records its about 4 or 5 incidents total. the return boxes however still had valid postage.

 

Yeah that seems like reason alone to switch to me. I've done probably around 75 boxes in each direction (sending and receiving, so 150 total), 95% of which are Fedex, and I've had a grand total of one incident (bottles breaking on their way to me).

 

Wanna break federal law? Ship USPS.

Wanna break company policies? Ship UPS or FedEX.

Just a matter of which one you feel like breaking.


Personally I wouldn't fuck with any federal law or trying to break it. I don't want to risk even the slightest chance of being sent to a federal pound me in the ass prison.

 

Why so ain't USPS??? Homie, do you wanna become someone's bitch in federal prison?

Ya, I didn't think so.

I'd take the slap on the hand by FedEx or UPS instead anyday son.

 

Is it also a federal crime to ship alcohol OUT of the US?
In Europe, the legalities of course vary from country to country but in many cases it is perfectly legal to ship alcohol for personal consumption (i.e. not truckloads of it) across borders (though some postal systems may have policies against it as they would with anything that could break and potentially harm their employees). When I have things shipped from Etre (Belgium) or bierkompass.de (Germany) to the UK and Sweden, that's legal - as far as I know you're not even evading customs charges if it is for personal consumption.

 

That is a different ball of wax. USPS does not care if it is leaving the country. Much like not having to go through immigration at LAX to leave the US when flying abroad.

Have to agree with Forgetfu on the tracking part. Just abysmal. Then again I have had worse tracking with Australia Post, Norway and Netherlands post.

 

heres a trade that went south, and instead of turning me in to the police they contined to wrap up my box and ship it to its destination. half the items made it surprisingly. happened 01/2011


the way it was on the front door


the way fedex wrapped the soaking box up


the contents... it doesnt look like it but some bottles actually made it.

if i didnt get in trouble for this i dunno what id have to do to get in trouble. this is the reason i no longer over pack

 

C'mon! If anyone would respect the beer, it's gotta be Cliff!
