UPS used 4 different trucks to deliver 4 packages today!

My dad was told by the local(ABI) UPS hub that they currently had 15 semi-trailers in the yard they were working through as fast as possible. Between the Christmas rush and the storms a few weeks ago they are WAY behind.

Is there a way to ensure that UPS/FedEx doesn't hand your packages off to the USPS? Just like above, I purposely spend more to avoid using the postal service, and have even not made purchases from eBay sellers and certain companies due to not wanting to deal with the damn postal service. Having them deliver my shit after paying more to avoid them chaps my ass.

Pay extra for overnite or 2 day delivery.

Don't think you have a choice. I think it's purely up to the carrier.

USPS was delivering packages in my neighborhood throughout the day on Sunday.

See, I thought I was imagining things or forgot a package from Saturday. I was out early on Sunday and saw a package on my doorstep as well Sunday. That's weird.

No it's not. UPS and FedEx are both doing it now. They don't want the post office to go out of business because then they'll have to take up the slack, and they don't want to. I sure as hell want the USPS out of business though. Never met a lazier bunch of ass-holes in my life.

hmm, that's kind of shady. I payed ups to ship and deliver my package over usps for a reason.

UPS has an agreement with certain shippers for discounted rates. The shipper gets a big discount for the final delivery being done by the USPS.

on the ups website, it says they transferred my package to the local post office for delivery. that's weird.
