I just bought something online and the company I bought the items from chose to ship the items by UPS BASIC. I tried to track my package online but there was no delivery date listed.

I called UPS and was told by one of their Agents that UPS BASIC will ship a package part of the way then hand off delivery to the UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE to complete delivery!

This is the most ludicrious things that I have ever heard!
Why does UPS even bother to get involved with delivery in the first place if they don't intend to complete delivery!

We all know about the Postal Service and package delivery!
WHAT A JOKE!

UPS HAS LOST THEIR CREDIBILITY WITH THEIR CUSTOMERS if they think this is good service for the public!!!

I too have been screwed by this ups to USPS transfer shit and did not know until yesterday. I bought something from eBay, and my only shipping options were different pricing, not carriers. When i finally found out that it was being shipped ups, i started tracking with the UPS 1Z tracking number. Everything was fine, my package arrived here in my city, but then...WTF??? Package transferred to USPS post office??? WTF??? No delivery date, just bend over and take it. Sorry MF's will never get my business again if there is ever a hint od this swap around bull shit. UPS and USPS BOTH get paid shipping charges that's why my shipping was $25. Sorry MF's!!
YES I'M PISSED OFF AND THE SELLER IS GONNA HEAR IT!!! Buyer beware as UPS and USPS is gettin in your underwear! Feel that little pokin goin on?? Ya they are stickin it to us... sorry SOB's
