The US Postal Service SUCKS elephant balls

[Connonym]

I ordered a mail in prescription at the end of January. Never got delivered so eventually I had to order it again and now today 3 MONTHS later I get a notification from my mail in pharmacy that it was returned to them as undeliverable. Three fucking months to ship back a package from WI to NJ? Fucking insane.

1. I have had a lot of trouble with mail-order prescriptions

Medco, specifically. I know others who have as well so it might not be the USPS. Then again, it might be.

3. I rarely get anything in the mail.

It seems to go in cycles too. One month it's missing magazines, another prescriptions, this month it's bills.

4. We only have problems with two vendors...

Medco (big surprise there...) and our HOA fees. Both get "lost" on a regular basis. (the latter have been found in the HOA's trash dumpster, still in envelope... hmmm...)

My great-grandfather's medco scrips used to get "lost" all the time (not that he was on much that was interesting - Lexapro, a heart med, and an allergy pill); Medco finally switched him to UPS or Fed-ex and ... nothing got lost anymore. Hmmm....

I've never had problems with the post office in general.

5. they'll be raising the flat rate priority boxes to over 9 bucks

affects a lot of people sending care packages to the troops

6. This was drugstore.com (rite-aid) online pharmacy

I've had pretty good luck with them and they did next-day Fedex a replacement after 10 days. I was joking that my name is probably on a list and DHS intercepted it to personally examine every single prozac capsule :eyes:

Seriously though, I was a postal worker in my 20s. If you watched what happens to the mail around there you'd be astounded that you ever get anything.
