Lost in the Mail

Well, I have to admit I don’t send packages very often and when I do I usually use the US postal service. So on September 12 I had to send out a package to New Jersey and like I normally do I walked to the post office, waited in line and then handed the teller my package. I paid the cheapest amount necessary and I walked out. My job was done. Except this package was my wife’s bride’s maid dress for her twin sisters wedding in 2 weeks. As I was walking out of the Post Office, I began to wonder if I should have paid the extra couple of bucks to get it there sooner, if it will get there at all and if I should have gotten insurance. Nah. Don’t packages always get to their destination?
It’s now Friday 9/29 and after 2 weeks of calling, yelling and apologies (to my wife), the package that I thought would absolutely get to its destination, is back at my Boston apartment safe and sound. It somehow became lost in route from Boston to Jersey. I appreciate the efforts of the US Postal Service, but from now on I’m using either UPS or FedEx…maybe even DHL. With my amateur status in package sending, I wanted to look at how many people are much savvier than me and are using UPS.com and FedEx.com. Below is a chart showing people visiting UPS.com and FedEx.com for the past six months. Why couldn’t I be like the 14 million people per month who use Federal Express or UPS?
