- NNNOct 6, 20253.0“Temporary” holiday rate increase is not temporary, after Jan. 18 2026 these rates will become the regular price. Why lie to the customers? Too expensive now. Ups is similar in pricing and much more reliable.
- ENEvan NovoaJan 3, 20181.0It sucks and takes forever. My package was supposed to be coming after christmas but guess what? they were so lazy they took forever to ship my package and its january the 3rd of 2018 and they are shipping it back to china then back to my residence?!?!!? They also suck because I am starting a band and I ordered a bass and they are also lazy that they are awaiting acceptance in the facility in Califronia which has been theyre since December the 20th and I ordered it December 19th. USPS, if you dont want bad ratings, be honest next time please.
