I've had several packages "lost" by USPS since moving to San Francisco. Never had issues in any other city. Almost everytime a package is shipped by USPS it stresses me out. I'll pay extra for FedEx now because UPS and DHL both use USPS for the last bit of the delivery in the city. I can't believe there is no way to really file a claim for a lost package. When you try they usually just give you a the Postmaster's phone number who puts you on hold for up to an hour. It's insanity. I'm normally for public services, but USPS is incompetent and can't be trusted.
- johnward 10y agoFedEx uses USPS for their smartpost packages. There's really no way to entirely avoid USPS.
- diogenescynic 10y agoThey might, but it happens much less often in San Francisco from my experience. Whereas practically every UPS package I had shipped from Amazon Prime was being fulfilled by USPS. I just try to avoid them when possible after a number of horror stories.

- calibraxis 10y agoA common privatization tactic is to defund public services so they're indeed incompetent. Then point at their incompetence as reason for privatization.
- driverdan 10y agoI suspect there is serious corruption and/or significant mismanagement in SF USPS. I've read many other experiences of people having trouble receiving packages from them. I personally had one or two cases of them not delivering stuff because they didn't feel like it.
