USPS (top heavy supervisors slam down on hard working carriers with indimitation we work in fear WHY? I don't know about your offices in the United States but are Post Office is run so ridiculous that a 10 year old could walk in there and do a better job. The taxpayer should be angry about USPS stamp increase it is because the higher ups want more money and they are trying to squeeze it out of the hard working carriers and despite there big saftey propoganda that is a lie. The only thing they care about is getting the numbers right so they can get there bonus. They harress the workers buy demanding them to get done faster well putting more work on them. Then they go around and drive and spy while eating there big mac and nit pick on any last thing a carriar could be doing wrong. (example 5 minites over break limit) carrier wrote up. Bit buy a dog carrier wrote up . Fell down some icy stairs carrier wrote up. Well the whole time they sit around like little puppets waiting to hear what the higher office wants them to do next. USPS needs to overhall entire system starting with the top.

What is the USPS formula for determining Express, Priority and Parcel Post Costs? I have a spreadsheet and a need to add some formulas to figure out the cost of differant shipping costs including USPS Express Mail, Priority Mail, and Parcel Post according to the dimensions and weight of the large packages. I can't figure out what the formula or rate is? Does anybody know? They are all leaving from zip 00830 to zip 00612. I have tons of scenarios I need to find the rates for and it will take a long time if I have to enter each of them manually into the usps website.
How much worse is it to ship a computer USPS than FedEx or UPS? FedEx wants $150, UPS wants $200, and USPS wants $30 for parcel post or $80-90 for Priority/Express. I'm moving and the computer is proving to be the hardest part. I have the original box and I've been packing and shipping stuff on eBay for years, so I'm confident in my ability to make a safe container. Another option is to take the tower as my carry-on on the airplane and ship my components.

What does USPS do if you package is shipped to the wrong address? I bought something online and the seller shipped it USPS on Aug. 31. It's now Sept. 25 and I still have not received it. I don't know if he has a tracking number for it or not, but I think he may have sent it to my old address. If so, what will USPS do with the package? I thought they would return to sender but the seller has not received the package back nor have I received it so where is it? Also, what should I do?

Can I send something via USPS Priority Mail if I am just using a regular box? I want to print my postage label at home (which I can do for Priority Mail). But the item is just slightly larger than the standard USPS Priorty Mail boxes. So I want to send it back using the original box that the product was shipped in, but still be able to print posage at home for Priority Mail. This is in addition to my other question (my first one asked here at Answers), so hope I don't delete the prior questions I had.... I usually prepare the package at home and drop it in the Priority Mail box at my PO. So I won't have access to any special tape right now. Still okay to do, as long as I mark the package "Priority" in clear large letters?
How long does it take for USPS forwarded mail to arrive at the forwarded address? I had a package sent to my old address, and the tracking information says that it was forwarded to my new address 5 days ago. I wouldn't have thought that having the package forwarded to an address 2 towns away would take very long, but it seems that this is not a fast process. I can't find anything on the USPS's website that gives a timeframe as to when I can expect my delivery at this new address.
How long does it take for you to receive your forwarded usps mail? I am planning to change my address online on the usps website, which will take effect next week. Will my mails be delayed? How do they actually forward the mail? Do they send it to your old address and then forward it to your new one if it's still in the mailbox? I'm waiting for my nclex results which should come in about two weeks and don't want it to be delayed for another week. Geez I've been waiting for 4 weeks already. =(
How reliable is USPS with standard international shipments? Paypal suspended my business account for "unusual activity" and won't lift the limitations off my account until my shipment has been delivered. I shipped a really expensive package to Spain with USPS and received a tracking number but won't track any further than the US airport. So now I'm freaking out because I can't access my Paypal funds until my package confirms delivery. How reliable is USPS with international shipments? Do they lose packages often?
What is the USPS criteria for employment? I'm currently 17 years old, and 18 in a month. I've "got connections", as I hear it is popular to have to receive employment with USPS. I am very close with several people who have served with USPS for years and years. I'm a hard working citizen for my age and pull 6 hours every day mon-fri at a local factory my dad operates. I know I must take the civil service exam (won't be a problem.) Also, I am sworn in and a new enlistee with the Pennsylvania Army National Guard (leaving for Basic this Summer!), does this help any? What I need to know is if you must be a high school graduate with a high school diploma to be eligible to work for USPS. This is what I found off of the USPS website- Age Requirement 18 years at the time of appointment or 16 years with a high school diploma. Does this mean that when I am 18 I am eligible for employment, although not yet a graduate?

What are the real dangers of items that USPS refuse to ship internationally? I know aerosol cans are hazardous because they're pressurized and mostly flammable. What's the problem with perfumes though? I don't think their alcohol content is so significant that they can be considered flammable? Is the possibility of leakage the only reason behind USPS not transporting liquids (body oils, lotions, gels and serums) internationally? How come it's safe to have these items in your luggage when you travel then?
How can you tell if your package is being shipped by usps or ups? I ordered a product on paypal and received a confirmation number, but there is no information on the site(not paypal) I ordered the products from about whether the shipping is by usps or ups. I know usps sometimes takes longer than ups, so I really wanted to know which one it was.
How do you find an announcement number for city carrier exam for usps? I have been looking for an announcement number for the city carrier exam. So I have been checking online at the usps website looking for any announcement numbers for city carrier in my state - Wisconsin. I have never seen one. So today I checked the entire US. And there wasn't a single city carrier exam shown. I didn't buy that there wasn't a single one going on in the US. So I take it they do not post city carrier announcement numbers online. Do they ever advertise the exams at the usps website for city carrier? Also what is a good way to find an announcment number for city carrier? On the website they say to check bulletin boards in post offices and public buildings and community newspapers. I'd rather not have to visit every post office state to check the bulletin board if I can avoid it. Besides, if they don't advertise city carrier exams online, they may not advertise them offline either. Maybe you need to know someone in the post office? Reply to these answers: 1. go to the official usps site and click on employment link you'll find it there 2. Maybe this will help. As mentioned in previous answer go to USPS website, click jobs, then click mail processing jobs. Good Luck! Reply: This is where I have been checking.

How do I get the USPS mailbox replaced? We just moved into a new house, and instead of having a mailbox in front of everyone's house, there's a large one down the street where we all get out mail, using our individual keys. The problem though, is that the slot for each person is way too small, anything that gets delivered gets crumpled up, and by the time you get it, it has a permanent crease down the middle. To add to that, there's no large box at the bottom of the unit to allow for packages to arrive. I don't know what's going to happen next time I order something from an online retailor and it's too big to fit in the little box that's assigned to us. On top of all of that, the unit has aged and looks quite ugly now. Is it possible to get USPS to replace the mailbox with a newer version, with bigger slots? Is there some sort of form I could get the neighbors to sign perhaps? Any information of the topic would be appreciated!
