"accidently" put my package that was already in Fairmont to be delivered IN Fairmont on another truck and sent it to Waseca, Mn, now it's in St Paul, mn. 🙄 Thanks guys, good job. I paid extra shipping on this package to have it delivered yesterday as it was a sentimental gift of my deceased dog for my fiancee

Tracking is a joke mail people scan packages and deliver them 5 hours later to the wrong addresses and package lost with no record of who got it.

Packages never get delivered when they say out for delivery, mail often never makes it when informed delivery says it’s coming, if it does come it’s days later. Get it together please
