They just installed a scan-it-yourself desk at my main PO. Gives a receipt. I haven’t yet tested if that receipt works for ‘start of insurance’ but I think it does work for ebay seller stats.
USPS woes :(

I'm still firmly in the "drop off at loading dock in gated lot and cross fingers" crew. Getting a receipt is far too much time and effort considering the extremely low % of packages I send that have an unexpected delay or are damaged. Averaging about 25 packages a day outgoing with USPS since the new year. I ship a fair amount of stuff so one issue a month is nothing for me, but 1 issue when you send 1 package is going to be a really big deal and to you the USPS appears to be an utter failure.

Agree. I've received a few things via FedEx where I was surprised the contents were not damaged based on the outside of the tube.ygolohcysp wrote: ↑Fri Feb 05, 2021 3:29 pmUSPS far and away the leader in reliability both in regards to delivery time and package handling for me vs UPS. Anyone that sends a tube with UPS has a death wish for its contents. I don't have enough experience with FedEx on either end to form an opinion.rubberneck wrote: ↑Fri Feb 05, 2021 3:25 pmWhat about damage and rough handling tho? Who do you consider most reliable.jjttdw wrote: ↑Fri Feb 05, 2021 11:13 amAgreed. Plus, they have never lost something I've shipped.ygolohcysp wrote: ↑Fri Feb 05, 2021 10:49 amMy specific complaints aside, USPS still delivers 95% of what I send on time
The others are not worth the upcharge to me.

The DIY kiosk at the post office I went to today had a sign saying it now has the ability to "scan" prepaid labels. Have to manually enter in the tracking number (at least dats what it appeared), but it still saves a ton of fuggin time vs. waiting in line.Codeblue wrote: ↑Sat Feb 06, 2021 2:02 pmzeuscarver wrote: ↑Sat Feb 06, 2021 10:57 amThey just installed a scan-it-yourself desk at my main PO.

You have to manually enter the tracking number? That can't be right

they even put a bottle of hand sanitizer next to mine--true government service.
used it yesterday over lunch, had to announce what i was doing so the 10 people in line didn't dogface me even harder when i was in and out in 1 minute.

I used to drop off prepaid packages at the counter... If looks could kill. I just want to shake everyone standing in line by the shoulders and scream "WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY"
Now a bit of good news. USPS now has a 10 year plan to improve.
