No wonder USPS is loosing their astrict... RANT New stop Dallas Texas!!! Grrrr!

I've had some issues lately with USPS. The worst was last winter when I sold some carb parts to a member in Iowa about 300 miles from me. The parts went through St. Louis to a sorting center in IA and then is showed it was out for delivery. This was Priority mail and 5 days after shipping them the member e-mailed me to check on them again because the tracking # I gave him showed they were in Florida. Yep, Florida. They sat there for 4-5 days before they moved and in that time I went back to my local post office to see if they could call down there to see what was going on. The post master refused. Told me Priority just means they'll try to get it there faster. No guarantees. Said they probably just made a routing mistake and it'd straighten itself up. Well it did. I paid for Priority to send parts 300 miles away and it took 13 business days to get there and the bitty at the PO refused to help. I should have went above her head because of her "I could care less" attitude but I let it slide but if it happens again I wont
