Cons: service not 100-percent dependable; they’ve lost important items
Summary: My scariest experience with the United States Postal Service was when I sent my tax returns via First Class Mail. As far as I know, the two neatly prepared envelopes with all my information never showed up at either location (federal ... read more

Pros: My meds from Tuscon get here in a day.
Cons: People who look up my address never get their mail to me.
Summary: I live in a town that only has post office box mail service. Over 7,000 people endure the offenses of the Postal Service. I live at 1006 Gusight St. Page, AZ 86040. (Don't worry that I am exposing myself to whatever you can not mail anything to me) This ... read more

Pros: great service, easy to use, inexpensive, dependable, overall great service
Cons: no cons for this service
Summary: Now I will admit, I was wrong in all me preconceptions about the U.S. Postal Service being a company that is less efficient, less reliable and all together bad business compared to its largest competitors (UPS and FedEX). I just recently started to ... read more

Pros: One doesn't have to talk to an empathetic USPS employee, there are none.
Cons: No decent competition.
Buying insurance only increases loss
Summary: I used to use the USPS all the time. That's because UPS (which stands for Unlikely for Package to Survive) has lost and damaged things for me like steel auto bumpers. But I'm sad to report that USPS has taken the lead. About a year ago we bought some ... read more

Pros: Ridiculous that this should be required for this response
Cons: Ridiculous that this should be required for this response
Summary: I'm particularly taken aback by a side remark. I'm 53 years old, been working for the USPS for 6 months and there is only one guy there younger than I. As a former US Markets Commodities Trader I'm stunned that there isn't a man or woman in the USPS ... read more

Pros: Stamps are cheap, mail usually gets there, International Registered Mail is tolerable to most countries.
Cons: Everything else about the postal service is of questionable integrity, very unreliable!
Summary: I have been doing large volumes of business with the U.S. Postal Service for over three years now, working for an independently owned "mail & parcel center" (not mailboxes etc. but very similar). I can't tell you how many times I have seen Delivery ... read more

Pros: …
Cons: …
Summary: For years now, I’ve been selling books on half.com and, on occasion, auctioning stuff on eBay. Media mail (or book rate, if you want to call it that) is $1.42 for the first pound. However, if the package is less than 5 ounces, I get to send it first cla ... read more

Pros: You can take up a new hobby or get a new job waiting for parcels.
Cons: Slow, slow, slow, and did I mention slow?
Summary: After reading the reviews, it appears that the domestic service for first class mail is fairly good within the US. Unfortunately, my experience with the international mailing system is a far cry. I did a side by side comparison between UPS Standard vs. ... read more

Pros: It's sort of the only choice for letters
Cons: Damaged Items, POSTAL EMPLOYEES WHO STEAL MAIL!!!!!!!!!!
Summary: Well, seeing as the USPS has a monopoly for residential mail delivery, we have no choice but to utilize it. But I recently had an experience that is completely unacceptable and inexcusable. My father mailed me a 5"x9" envelope containing two booklets ... read more

Pros: Still a good service for the price
Cons: Not as good as everyone thinks it is
Summary: First, let me say that I believed these too until I joined the post office. Boy, was I wrong.
Myth one: The post office pays well and has great benefits. If you have been working there for 30 years, you get paid well. However, everyone ... read more

Cons: Lost packages are hard to recover insurance claims on packages are very slow to complete

Pros: Quick and Cheap.....

Pros: Excellent Bang for the Buck
Cons: Service could be better
Summary: Although most people gripe about how much they have to pay to send a letter, 33 cents is pretty cheap considering what we are getting in terms of delivery speed. I would however, be willing to pay 40 cents or so if the postal employees would be a bit ... read more

Pros: Uh... certainly not the carriers!
Cons: Those who manage to ram-rod rate increases for THIS kind of service!
Summary: Over the past couple of years, I've upgraded my credit cards and now have four. In fine, postal-Pete fashion, TWO of the FOUR were delivered to my neighbors instead of me! ----- I know it's (a)fashionable to bash the post office and ... read more

Pros: friendly employees

Pros: Cheap for the most part
Cons: It's a real gamble
Summary: Hey, It's great that I can send a very small parcel for about a buck, but when will it get there? Who knows. There's no gartantees that the thing will ever get there! Since I started shipping about 4 things a week, I have had the worse luck. ... read more
