Rant on shipping

I understand that a lot of folks depend on the USPS for getting their Meds and Social Security checks but then again, proper planning can ease the burden of Saturday closings.

Didn’t SSA go to direct deposit only? If not, they should.

Personally, I wouldn't object to home delivery on only four days; Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, IF they worked those days regardless of any (most) holidays.

But that might not work for everyone.

As far as 'the guy' ......

I write and mail 3 checks a month. Everything else is done online. Junk mail has dwindled to almost nothing and Life is Good.

I just wish the USPS would deliver the mail they claim to have delivered.

How about closing Wednesday or Thursday instead? Not everybody lives in a city next to where they work. Saturday morning makes sense, although in a previous life I still had to scramble to get there when coming home for the weekend.

I have one med delivered by UPS. I wouldn't rely on the postal service to get it to me before it goes bad since it's packed in a cooler carton. UPS picks it up from the depot a couple states over and has it on my door step the next afternoon.

The one time my maintance drugs were mail order and shipped USPS, they would take 4 days at the earliest,, usually 6 to 7 days from two states over to get here. That shot would be bad by the time I received it.

And at $15,000 a dose....... who's gonna pay for another dose???

Insurance as well as the pharmacy would both tell me to get bent if I demanded another shot.
