Question? How often do you have to chase down your mailman?

 

My wife went out to meet the mail man and he buzzed right on by..

 

Said it was not our regualar mail man and then it hit me!!! He has my boolit order!!!

 

So i finish my dinner and head out to find this so called mail man 3 blocks away i find him pull in front of him and politley ask for my mail, he hands me 3 envolopes and then i ask if he has about a 40lb box for me.

 

That must be your box in the back, yep most likely..Sure enough their is my percision delta boolits awaiting my arrival to save them from a very lazy hard to understand mailman.

Back in the day Aimsurpluss had a great deal on 308 $150 per case of 900. I manged to restrain myself and order only 3 cases. The UPS lady was not thrilled with being the sub that day.

My mailman has been RIDICULOUS with trying to get him to actually deliver packages. Instead of delivering them to the security booth he has to pass by to get INTO the damn condo complex, he just leaves me a little slip to pick up items at the PO... That's not what I pay you for, a**.

crap happened to me at work. I am in an office building with 3 other offices. When i was working on my wife's car I (stupidly) left her lug nut lock key on the tire and when she drove off it was gone. I had to order a replacement and in the meantime there was a bulge in one of her tires, so getting the replacement key was very important so we could get the new set of tires on without cutting off the nut.

 

I knew the day the key was supposed to be delivered and they must have just put my name on the package and not the name of the business. The damn mail person walked in dropped off the mail and did the same with the rest of the offices in the building. I looked out of my office window and saw her walking back to the truck with what looked like a white bubble envelope. Before I could get out, she pulled out of the parking lot, went about 1000 feet down the road to the next building. I jogged after her. When i got to her i said, hey do you have a package for ME? She said yes, sorry it didn’t have the business' name on it. I was like jeez could have asked, THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE!

That reminds me, I have been overseas for a week, I wonder what the status of one of my packages is...I hope they left it at the leasing office and not outside my door...because if it is the latter, I doubt I'll ever see it.

Hey nick, This SOB did not even leave a slip.. ignored my wife standing their and vroooom..

I always have to pick-up my 69.9 lb boxes of Montana Gold at the Post Office. And they ask what's so heavy? I tell them Gold!

HAHAHAHA..

I give it another hour before someone here on the forum turns out to be a mailman, and and starts a crapstorm over how offended he is at the mail-man-bashing on this site.

Doubt it.

 

My story... Had 2 cases of MG bullets... or was it 3 cases? Was back in Marlboro office days. They would just leave a note to pick it up at post office, did not want to bring it in or leave it on the porch, wtf.

 

Get to post office, the guy does not bring it out, asks me to come back with him and get the cases myself. argh. =P

Oh well thats life, if you do not want to do your job find one that you do!!

My Mailman is a lady. A cute lady!

 

And when I go th the PO the guy there brings the boxes out to my truck with a hand truck.

 

So all considered it's not a bad deal.

if my mail lady only knew what she has dropped off here !!

 

The best was I had a UPS girl for awhile she wasnt hot but wasnt bad , but when she would hand me a case of ammo with a smile I would get all gitty

She says: "Are ya happy to see me or is this the ammo you've been waiting for that put the lump in your pants?"

At one point I was getting crates upon crates of ammo delivered UPS, at one point i was in my driveway, UPS truck backs up, door rolls open and he kicked out 4 crates of ammo while mumbling "more goddamn ammo" lol

 

Victory!

In my experience, UPS is always top notch.

 

USPS on the other hand, is really struggling. They were ok in the past, but the past 3 or 4 years service has gone downhill. Numerous times they have left packages that have not fit in the mailbox right below it on a rather busy street...well thanks ya dick. Their new thing is instead of leaving packages at the mailbox, they will drive up my driveway and deliver them by hand---sounds nice right? Oh wait, they don't technically hand deliver them to the door. They instead throw the package into the driveway near the steps WHILE seated in the delivery car. Greeeaatttt. What about my packages that are labeled fragile? I ordered 4 nice beer glasses (3 of them were broken) so that was a PITA dealing with the company over that. They replaced them but it was so annoying.

She says: "Are ya happy to see me or is this the ammo you've been waiting for that put the lump in your pants?"

 

Yep

when you start getting nicknames from ups and the mail you have an addiction. My UPS guy nicknamed me rambo, and the mail lady calls me "that guy that gets heavy stuff all the time"

Well we definitely know which of the 2 is more intellectual......

I'm a postal letter carrier and I am offended by the people on this board telling the truthful stories about the inedaquacies of the postal service.

No, I'm not a postal employee.

I got a new carrier on my route, the previous one was great. The new one doesn't want to get out of the truck. I got a paper in the mailbox the other day stating delivery was attempted - lie. I was home all day and watched the mailman deliver the mail but he never attempted to approach the house. This is not the first time.

I went to the post office the next day and lodged a complaint.

I guess I'm lucky. My carrier the last place I lived was pretty decent. So is the one at my current location. Heck, my three cases of bullets arrived when he was on vacation. It was a lady who isn't that big. She didn't whine about hauling the boxes to my porch.

My UPS guy pulls up one day opens his door and yells "Are you the gun nut?" Turns out he is also a shooter competes in alot of local matches

I have it good, both the normal UPS and FedEx guys shoot and/or hunt so they have no problem with ammo orders, or any other order I have delivered up to the heaviest that was 6 spam cans of 7.62X54R.

 

My USPS guy knows I shoot and I have no problems, and has jokingly said something to that effect. Only 1 time when he had a injured back did I have to go pick up and 2K order of .40 bullets from Delta Precision.

I have had that exact experience twice.

I thought it was just me. My answer is bricks

I sent my wife to the PO to pickup the group order from Dardas (long story I couldn't get to them until the weekend IF I was lucky). The mailmen were not very helpful, told her to come around back and load them herself to which she put on her NY and told them that they should have delivered them and SOMEBODY better help her. They then had the gall to ask what was in the boxes to which she replied truthfully. They were quite very helpful after that...

My mail-man brings everything right to the door, and makes sure a pink slip is always filled out....why you may ask? because after we had to call the P.O. about 5 times in 2 months wondering where the hell our mail is... they finally wised up and realized this guy was being a lazy a-hole. It was really freaking stupid, we would get the final notice to pick up at the PO, when all he had to do was leave the first one for us to sign so he could just leave it the next day....

 

never an issue with fedx or ups.

I've been able to build a pretty good relationship with the mailman, the UPS guy and the FedEx guy over the years. I get taken care of really well. I'll leave it at that. If I'm home during the day in the summer, I'll give them a bottle of cold water or something like that. It goes a real long way, trust me. I do the same with the trashman. They've taken **** from me that they had no business touching.

I have had problems at my office with the mail carriers not wanting to get their lazy asses out of the mail truck to give us certified mail, they know we are inside but they just leave a note in the mailbox stating that we were not around and that we can pick it up at the PO the next day. Since I am not expecting any important letters that would be sent certified, and they are not usually good news anyway, I usually never bother to go get them. About two weeks later I'll get another notice stating that it will be returned to sender if I don't go pick it up.

I have great letter carriers. It helps that I appreciate their work and tip them at Christmas time. In the summer, I come out with some water for him etc... Why do I do this? They go out of their way and have done a ton of favors for me. If I am coming to the PO to pick up a package, they hold my mail also for me. I was a letter carrier and know how the job sucks. I try to make it easy on them if I can.

 

 

Tony, I would complain to the Post Master and ask why the carrier flagged your house? That is what passing by is, it's called flagging. Normally, if somebody had 4th class mail one or two pieces, I would flag till the next day when they had more mail. It was faster and easier since the mail wasn't that important otherwise it wouldn't be going 4th class.

I just opened my mail box one day to find the little missed you pick up at the post office note. Since he was next door I walked over and handed him the note. He looked me right in the eyes with a straight face and said the other mailman had the box and he only had the note.LOL. But for the most part they do a good job.
