Re: Online banking

So one time I heard a comedian say that when he gets junk mail with a SASE inside for our convenience that he puts the junk mail inside and mails it back. Ha ha.

But think about that for a minute. Isn't that a win/win for everyone?

I think I'll start doing that, too.

Oh, and 'Dark Stranger'.

Heh.

 

Re: Online banking

Dean - does the USPS have any estimations as to how much business they've lost due to online banking? any kind of %'s?

 

Re: Online banking

And Dean for what it's worth I would rather send my stuff through the USPS, why you may ask since I have a corporate account at Fed Ex? Because the fed ex rips me the hell off. You can't tell me it's cost me 68 bucks to over night something to ponca city. Hell for that I just drive the damn thing up there.

I hate fed ex, they are the suckiest of all suck. I really hate when they lose my 400 dollar lap chole packs that go out to middle of nowhere oklahoma and I'm the one responsible for replacing them, the bastards.

 

Re: Online banking

Whatever business might have been lost through on-line banking is more than made up through innerweb buying. You can buy your **** on Ebay, but you can't get it delivered through ebay. We're also heavy into all kinds of e-commerce. Our flats and first-class letter business has really not dropped off that much. People still get most of their bills through the mail, and really good people still send greeting cards through the mail. Cause everybody knows that innerweb greeting cards are the succ.

 

Re: Online banking

lol, true, e-cards do suck, and i wasnt bashing the post office, i use it plenty, just not for my bills

but what i dont send to the credit card companies, they more than make up for by sending me offers

 

Re: Online banking

We have an intranet site that shows all the folks who switch from Fedex or UPS for their overnight/2-day services. The main reason is cost and reliability. If you go Express Mail, and it doesn't get there tomorrow, it's free. And the USPS is much cheaper across the board for the same services. We have to announce our rate increases - the others just do it on the sly.

 

Re: Online banking

do you get a tracking number with express mail? i send a bunch of stuff via ups that doesn't necessarily need to get there by 8am the next day, i just want to be able to track it so it doesn't get lost.

 

Re: Online banking

Dude, you get a tracking number with regular old priority mail. And for about a third less than UPS.

 

Re: Online banking

i wanna send some important paperwork in between tulsa and okc, sometimes dallas/wichita/kc. i'd prefer it get there the next day, but if not, 2nd day would be ok. i need to be able to track it.

what's the name of the USPS product? i'd ask for a link but some smart *** will tell me to google it.

 

Re: Online banking

If you want it overnight, it's Express Mail. If you want 2-day, it's Priority Mail. Your regular mail carrier can pick up during delivery, or you can go to the PO.

Re: Online banking

you may get a tracking number but you can't track the package online for ****

i've never gotten updates until i finally got the package

 

Re: Online banking

Whatever. So, you youngsters with all your immediate gratification needs aren't happy with getting their packages. No, they wanna know exactly where/when/who/why/how their package got from point A to point B. Selfish little ****s.

 

Re: Online banking

USPS.com is your friend.

 

Re: Online banking

USPS tracking information is worthless.


6/10/2007: Package received from sender.
6/13/2007: Package delivered.


Gee, thanks.

 

Re: Online banking

See my above post, youngster.

 

Re: Online banking

so why even advertise tracking?

 

Re: Online banking

Because nimrods need to know?

 

Re: Online banking

Back in my day, we didn't give a damn when our package was going to arrive. We knew it would show up sooner or later. Or maybe not at all. And that's how we liked it.
