Oh sweet madness...


            So, This will be my biggest rant ever one thing with three stories because of the one thing.  Sadly, this involves the USPS... our federal mail system.  For a system that has been around since July 1776, how can a company still manages to mess up worse than a crappy websites for cheap porducts.

            Story One
 
           Back in August of 2016, I had to deal with getting my male cat neutered and rabies shot because someone who we rehomed the cat to decided to give the cat a bath the first night of having him.  He had to be quarantined for ten days to make sure he did not shows of rabies.  My vet sent the papers to show that he was neutered and got rabies shot to the animal control by mail because it was the rules.

           Well, I got a letter of the City stating that Animal control never got the proof from my vet and the letter was dated for November 29.  According to the letter, we had only ten days to show our proof from when the letter was dated.  My husband panic and was trying to let me nap a bit.  Once I saw that letter, I called my vet and explain that the letter was claiming.  My vet assured me that they did indeed mailed off the proof and would gladly share that recipt with me.  I asked them nicely just to fax it to the Animal Control.  Waited about ten minutes, then called Animal control to see if they got the fax.  I did this to have proof that I did call them to make sure they got what they needed and the issue was solved.

           So Post Office what did you do with the envelope from my vet then?  Why did the letter from the City took seven days to get across the same town I live in?

           Story Two

          I am the biggest fan to Subscription boxes now thanks to Boxycharm!  Getting full products that I didn't have to hunt down in stores and paying discount prices for five items has been a godsend because of that, I have feel the need to get new stuff.  But as soon as I get a tracking number, that's when everything goes south!

          I decided to get Medusa's makeup subscription box because their company carries crazy and unusual makeup.  Ordered the box, they sent me the tracking, and I was getting mad at the tracking magically never got updated when I needed it.  According to the tracking, I was suppose to get my package on December first but I didn't get the package til the fifth!  I was getting upset that nothing was happening with my package and thinking that it was the makeup company's fault.  NOPE!  USPS don't seem to like updating and checking in package like they were suppose to be and suddenly sending it from Chicago to Virginia when the state of Texas where I go in is right under that state?

           Don't even get me started with having to call and having to figure out where to go with your issue and whatever you do, do try to call close to closing time because the workers get rude and snipping at you.

           Story Three

           Last year during Black Friday, I ordered a lot of stuff from ELF.  Again, our lovely post people try to claim suddenly my address did not exist tho they delivered my bills just the day before.  I called the post office and tried to stay calm when I explained to the manager that my address did exist and I have proof of it.  Found out that the post officer for my route had been doing that to a lot of packages and we suddenly got a new mail person the next day.

            Conclusion

           The post office has to clean it's act up somehow because it is getting harder to want to mail stuff off lately especially since most of my youtube videos stuff has to come from the stuff I get through the mail!
