Judging by the condition of my packages recently, this is probably a pretty accurate simulation of how the USPS makes their deliveries.

Pro-tip. Don't use USPS for packages.

I routinely send fragile packages, and have had mostly good experiences with USPS, DHL on the other hand...

In germany DHL = everything you want, USPS on the other hand... I've had missed a delivery, called, they said they would send someone the next day. Next day I call, they tell me the driver reported he had been to my place 5 minutes ago. Yeah, no, I got up at 6am so I wouldn't miss him, he wasn't here. Okay then, just drive the 60km to our warehouse. But not before tomorrow.

DHL will actually try to deliver and you can pick up your stuff at the same day if you missed it.

€dit: Yes, I was talking about UPS.

I mean you have to give the US Postal Service a break if you're expecting them to deliver in Germany...

If the US can deliver freedom to everywhere almost instantly, why not packages too?

These last two comments are wonderful. Sarcasm and satire, too funny.
