I've almost had enough of the useless usps postage service. I think it's bloody disgusting that the shipping starts at $25 and jumps $1.50 for every single item thereafter when usps can't even do a decent job or get mail overseas in a reasonable manner.

I totally understand that Eden has no control over prices and what those useless lot in the postal service do, but couldn't overseas buyers at least have some options instead of being dumped with crap service whether we like it or not????

Here's an example of how f**ked up usps are. I'm from Australia, so naturally my shipping address says "Australia". So I look up to see where my recent package is on the tracker (when it didn't show up here when it should of), only to find that Brazil is the new Australia. Friggin' news to me!
Wouldn't basic reading be a requirement to work for the usps service????????
This issue has been reported and apparently it could be another 23 days before it gets to me. Absolutely disgusting. Shame on you usps!
But what's to say it won't happen again?
I enjoy it here, but usps is seriously ruining my experience. I'm also denied joining the DR program cause the stupid usps take their sweet ass time (2+ weeks) to get my package to me. SIGH!

I personally love DHL couriers and I was extremely happy with the service I received from them every time I ordered before the move. Depending on the cost of course, I'd be willing to pay more for decent shipping if we were even given the option in the checkout.
Is there any other form of shipping that could be offered as well???? less

The service is getting worse in the states too, but nothing like that! My fear is that it's only going to get worse as more Post Office branches are closed, more workers are laid off and Saturday delivery ends.

I would be completely frustrated in your shoes! less

Amen.

I just wish I was religious for then I'd sing that.

I love and adore and love to tell people about EdenFantasys. But I do tell them that international shipping sucks. Sucks sweaty camel balls.

But I also make sure to tell them that this is USPS and not Eden's work.

It took 29 days for a parcel to get to me. And I wrote a little about it in another thread here at EF. Their tracking service said that my parcel was released from customs, and then took about two weeks to travel approx 1000km.

What kind of priority mail is that??? THEN to make matters even worse, when I saw (two days after the fact... yes you read that right... took them two days to update the status) that a delivery attempt was made, I finally called into China Post.

They made an attempt to deliver in Hohhot. I do not live in Hohhot. I live over a hundred kilometres away in another city!!!!!!!!!! And yes. My city name was clearly listed as was my telephone number.

THEN I was told that they started the process to send it back to EF as no one was there to accept the delivery, and no one was picking up the phone.

I could have slapped them. And trust me. I was FURIOUS!

Finally, we got things sorted out and a few days later I have to make my way into the other district, paying the equivalent of almost twenty USD to go pick it up because... get this. They already started the process to return to sender so it is out of their hands. And if I want it? I have to come and get it.

Welcome to the astronomical shipping price for utter lack of service that is USPS.

Now over the past month, I've had FedEx parcels, UPS, DHL and a few various other Asian postal services deliver items to me. With no issues.

ANYTHING that I have received from USPS, has given me nothing but headaches.

I honestly do not mind waiting two weeks. I really don't. But what ticks me off, is what does the word "priority mail" mean? I wish that USPS would be more specific in it's tracking.

Ok. My rant is over. Until I decide to swallow my anger and complain more about USPS and it's shoddy delivery on keeping boxes in the shape of a box and not flat as a pancake destroying everything.

And yes. I have sent emails to the USPS customer service people... but I doubt I'll ever get a response.

For now. less
