Actually, the USPS driver would had just tossed it into the garage from inside of their jeep.
The Fedex driver that comes to my house walks to the steps and throws my packages up on the porch.

I ship packages everyday with my business. I have used all the major carriers at one time or another. We get better service from the USPS than any other carrier by far
Agree with this. It's regular mail that USPS is dropping the ball on. Every week there's another story about a delivery person or facility and thousands of discovered letters that never got done.

As a former UPS driver this typically happens for one reason. Once the driver reaches the delivery destination he goes to the back of the truck to look for the package. Sometimes it’s simply not there and has been mis-loaded onto another truck. This would explain why the driver drove away. Believe me… The driver wants to get the package off of his truck so that it doesn’t get added to his delivery schedule The following day. Classifying the stop as a mis-load is A service failure and a no-no with UPS and FedEx. This explains why the driver or supervisor marked it as a un-deliverable due to weather.
The problem with this is as the shipper, you are entitled to your money back if Fedex does not deliver within the specified time period for all ground and express shipments. So, if ground to your area is a 3 day shipment, they have to refund the shipping cost if the product takes 4 days to get to you. By marking it as a "weather delay", they no longer have to refund you. If they marked it as a "mis-load" or a mistake on their part, they would have to give you your money back. This is the main reason the "weather delay" reason is used. Cheating their own system so they don't have to refund customers.

I can't complain. I've had FedEx deliver when the tornado sirens were going off.

So the drivers AND supervisors are lying to cover up the real problem. That'll work out better in the long run...

When I first moved to New Orleans, we lived in Algiers Point.
For Thanksgiving, I ordered a precooked old Virginia ham. They mailed it. It never arrived. I said let's try again. They did. It didn't arrive.
Post Office did a Sgt. Shultz: they knew nuffing.
I sent the ham store a check for two uncooked hams, because it's a small company and I hated for them to take the total loss.
The uncooked ham arrived by UPS.
Now, in Tennessee, the precooked hams arrive any way they are shipped.

The driver is actually the one who scans the package and enters a reason for non-delivery not the manager. He will catch a ration of shite for a service failure that faults the driver/company. Thus the motivation to lie. I think the manager turns a blind eye so that he doesn't have 8 people coming by his office giving him shite about his TPS reports ;-)

All joking aside, this is what happens when unemployment is so low. When unemployment is at 10%, you've culled many of the shitty employees, and the ones with a job are grateful.
So true. When the oil patch and banks fizzled in the late 80s/early 90s, you got the best service ever in fast food places.
The McD's manager would be some 35 year old dad with a cum laude engineering degree and a clip-on tie. He would keep shite moving.

Had a UPS delivered a heavy package one time. They put it on the hood of my truck. The truck was dirty and they slid it across the hood, scratching the shite out of the paint. Was pissed and called them. They paid for the damages to have the hood repainted but I had to fight them to do so.
Try getting that result from USPS. You would be lucky to even get anyone on the phone.

What a load of bullshite. In all my years I've had almost flawless service from the USPS. The others, not as much, with Fed Ex being horrible.

I own a clothing company and we ship approximately 6000 packages a year using exclusively USPS. In the seven years of using them they've never once lost a package...ever. Their tracking is excellent. I ship to every conceivable city in the US and the smallest of countries worldwide. The package always arrives and usually ahead of time. I can call my local branch or, if you know the phone number, they have an investigative unit you can call that will find a package in the most remote places. I can always get a helpful person on the phone (ask for the manager.)
Without a doubt some branches have some shitty employees (Coppell.) Grapevine's employees will go above and beyond to help.
Just my experience using them and I use the crap out of them. Can't complain.

USPS refused to deliver a package due to large dog in the yard
Family dog had died almost a year before
I went to the post office to pick it up & told them what happened, they explained that there must have been a stray dog in the yard preventing delivery.
That pissed me off worse than having to go get the package.

Off topic a little... but how does USPS ensure your package makes it through customs to other countries? I've been using fedex international, and everything has always eventually gotten through, but there is always a hassle with customs that I have to figure out from 9000 miles away.

Sounds more like UPS. That whole corporation needs to be replaced by drones and robots.
