Default Unscrupulous Dealers and Price Gouging in Seattle?

the current dismal state of the modern USPS - it is barely managing to
deliver a simple package to the East Coast in many cases:

http://gowanuslounge.blogspot.com/20...barn-uses.html

I want to second the complaint leveled against the post office in Red
Hook. In addition to going days without mail (typically followed by
one day of 15-20 letters), I have only had one package delivered
successfully. I was home sick at the time and watched the mailman
leave the missed package slip without ringing. After running
downstairs and knocking on the window of his van, he begrudgingly
handed me my mail and informed me that it was a good thing he decided
to "chill" there for a few minutes or I would have missed him. My
question: why does the package slip imply there'll be second and third
attempts if they don't even try once? The abysmal service in Astoria
was better.

That's pretty harsh judgement from a twerp that can only satisfy 93%
of his customers!

Besides, what makes you think anybody would write a letter to a
scumbag like you in the first place?
Oh, I forgot, you probably get hate mail from your disgruntled
customers!

Gosh, JASON CHRISTOPHER HUGHES aka LUIS M. ARSUPIAL, that was sure
inventive. Once again, you make pronouncements about stuff you can't
possibly know (or did you determine this through "etheric
skrying"...?), only making yourself look like (more of) an idiot in
the process...

Thanks for being a halfwit!

I order things via email all the time. I have yet to have a single
thing lost by the USPS.

Maybe your postal carrier thinks you're an annoying asshole, too.

Ebay ENCOURAGES problems to be mutually worked out without an
immediate jump to negative feedback. Ebay has the more successful and
popular system for buyers and sellers.
Your assertions are not based in reality.
