2Is CaseMates the only one forced to use UPS?
most of my stuff from Morningsave and Meh have come via USPS - yeah, I know from the fulfillment place you all use.
My latest UPS mess, was this message on something they delivered, no, not casemates, Left At: Contact UPS for additional information
And well, UPS hasn’t a clue because guess what, the driver didn’t log it.
Casemates goes to work, and commercial UPS is decent in our area, better often than FedEx because they pay better attention to office hours (I work in a community where about 90% of it closes at 2 PM on Fridays).
But starting to get concerned if large items ordered from other parts of the overall Mediocre family might be routed through United Parcel Shitservices.

UPS for casemates yes, everything else seems to be some form of Surepost or USPS. Do t worry in my neck of the woods FedEx drivers steal packages, I’ve caught them on video. I’ll take UPS over FedEx any day
I’m happy with UPS deliveries. Very few problems compared to FedEx for me. We have a good USPS postal carrier too.
@therealjrn you’re lucky about the USPS carrier. Our normally assigned USPS carrier is also pretty solid.
Unfortunately, he does not have a lot of seniority. So he gets bumped regularly by sucky more senior carriers. It is painful for him because he then has to clean up the mess left by the higher seniority carriers who bump him.
Our guess is he’ll get frustrated by being surrounded by ineptitude and quit USPS… just like his also solid (and youngish) predecessor. Sad.
I work at a store that is a UPS access point, and have heard multiple complaints from people who swear they were home, they were waiting, no one rang the bell and then they found a note that since there was no response they package was being dropped off at our access point. And just this week a woman who has been regularly dropping off envelopes came in and told me that she wouldn’t be using our access point anymore because somehow a driver never checked in a package and it ended up being randomly delivered somewhere else. She runs a brokerage firm and it was a check. The only reason they know what happened is because whoever received it contacted the address on the envelope and let them know it was there.
On the other hand, most deliveries are fine and people are only moderately annoyed. One woman who has had issues with package thieves just preemptively sends things to us.
