They left an InfoNotice on my door on Thursday. I called them on Friday to arrange for a pickup from their warehouse. Got there on my way from work 18 minutes before 8pm on Friday. Bad time. I waited for 40 minutes in line before receiving my package. This is my complaint #1. The process of retrieving a package was very slow. My complaint #2 is that when I got home there was another InfoNotice on my door saying that I have 4 items to pick-up - they only gave me one. Ok, I did not ask if they had more for me, but their computer system should have alerted the clerk to the fact that I have 3 more packages. My complaint #3: the warehouse is closed on Saturday and Sunday. Thank you very much. :-)Tomasz Andraszekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05327206902901901646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-485814402262683506.post-58669725761972922522008-05-25T22:52:00.000-04:002008-05-25T22:52:00.000-04:00FedEx and UPS charge minimum $70 for a small packa...FedEx and UPS charge minimum $70 for a small package to Poland. USPS charges about $10. USPS charges less to send a letter to Poland then the Polish Post Office to send a letter to the U.S. while the postal employees in Poland earn probably half or even maybe only a quarter of what the postal employees make here. In Poland the mailman often will not even ring a bell to check if you are home, they will just leave the slip asking you to come to the post office to collect your package. For bigger packages you always have to go to the post office. I do not know how USPS does it, but in my opinion they provide great service for the price.
