I'm in the industry and never heard of them but that's how one of my packages is coming from the UK

Giles

Never heard of them…..

Look at this shit. Seven days and the fucking package is still in NYC. What goes on in that Sort Facility? Packages leave through the exit door and arrive again at the entrance?

I read yesterday that the US Postal Service lost $12 billion last year. Billion with a "B". Not surprising.

I had a small item disappear in Portland…a phone call to USPS and surprisingly, it reappears in Maryland today after disappearing for two weeks...

Ha ha ha ha, genuinely laughing here.

With nailpolish?..

I was CERTAIN either hectic or mega was gonna respond btw… Well you both have

DougNg

Yes, a toe. Jody broke my pinky toe a couple weeks ago. Wish I was joking (about the broken toe, not about the package)

I'm sure it's frustrating, RP, but I'm willing to cut the USPS some slack. Who knows what's going on in the NYC facility these days. After the hurricane, there's no telling what sort of mess there is between damage, backlogged packages, relief goods, short staffing, holiday increases in volume and so forth.

RP

Chris- I agree with you (and I think there was a holiday in there as well). It does look a little like the Keystone Kops, though.

People of the Forum.

P and I are trialling a new shipping company, TNT. Over the next month or so we will be sending the odd package via TNT and then asking for feedback.

Thanks, G

Seul

I love TNT…

Snowy

TNT works well to Australia, from past experiences….

Giles

There are pluses and minuses.

Shipping to Europe is more than with UPS, but is faster. US looks better. One of the problems with UPS is that there are large ares that are "out of area". When this happens we get hit with a USD20 uplift on shipping. I am sure there are similar issues with TNT, hence the trialling.

And The TNT/UPS merger is expected to get ratified soon anyway…..

I used to work for TNT, so backed…

I had many problems with TNT in the past, endless delays, stuff like they did not deliver express packages in time, because it would had been the only sending in my area they would had to made the day. Packages that layed around in hubs for several days and only a call made them to get it going…. Have not used them, in at least the last 12 months, so no up to date experience

Seul

Don't they deliver on Saturdays as well or am I making this up?
