The USPS Is Run By Chimps

My father ordered this purse for Nadia for Christmas. Pontiac Mall screwed up and sent Nadia this hat instead. After my father called them and straightened it out, Pontiac Mall agreed to send the correct item and was gracious enough to let Nadia keep the hat. That was pretty generous of them.

The purse came in the mail today, and I am convinced that the United States Postal Service employs chimps to handle and deliver the mail. Explain to me how the package ended up getting coated in motor oil:

This is not the first time the USPS has completely ruined a package of ours in transit. Each time, an apologetic letter is enclosed without mention of reimbursement.

Despite the USPS’ best efforts to ruin Nadia’s gift, Pontiac Mall’s excellent packing job kept the oil off of the purse. However, the smell is sticking to it. I may need to just buy Nadia a replacement one.

    You’re not the only one to be p***ed at the USPS. Amazon sent out a DVD of an old movie my mom loved. When we got it, looked like the mail truck ran over it, backed up, then did a vehicular Irish jig on it. The package was torn to shreds, taped back up, and it looked like a $1 coupon for Planters Peanuts was stuck on the back of it. A chunk was missing out of the shipping paper that was inside. The case was cracked, and the DVD itself was gouged badly. And for gods knows why, there was a cassette tape in there that apparently sounded like the Chipmunks, but not to music.

    Thankfully, Amazon has a good customer service. Called them about the damage on Saturday, Monday after work I came back to find a good, undamaged copy was delivered. Unfortunately, the damage was already done. Mom now knew what she was getting for a Christmas I was hard-pressed to find something to surprise her with, thanks to the postal service’s crappy service.

    As for the USPS? They F***ed us over again; we had to PAY to return the casing they messed up in the first place. And there was no letter of apology, or anything. I’m surprised that Going Postal means a letter carrier doing damage, not one of their screwed-over customers.

    Hey they shouldn’t even be compared to chimps, at least you know if it was delivered by chimps it would be delivered covered in their feces (pro-L.A.B.I.A)!!! But there is no excuse for the condition of how the package came in, because it is obvious that is not the condition in how you purchase it!! That letter still does not cover up the fact that it was damaged while in their posession. Maybe a letter to the post office sent in the damage package may do the trick, but it definitely makes you wonder if the persons reasonsible for mail distribution is of a lower specie.
