So I bought a item in the classifieds... On 11 feb money order in the mail... At this time I bought another item off classifieds, 15 feb mo went in the mail. The mo that went out on 15 feb to Oklahoma arrived on the 19 feb. The mo sent on the 11th to Connecticut arrived today wow... Bad part my wife put a check in the mail with tracking cause I figured that mo was long gone... Thank The Lord the seller was patient during this transaction.. So what's the longest it took po to deliver something?

Has taken up to 7 days for my credit union statement to get the four miles to my house.

Still waiting on a report to make the home office (105 miles away), 18 years later!

Local p.o. frequently loses and misdirects mail. I took to online bill pay it got so bad and creditors griping. Really who would believe "the checks in the mail"?

Well it could be explained at least locally here....

over in White City OR, ( where Pacific Tool and Gauge is located), the little shopping center the PO is located in, some one stole the letter S off the sign for the PO...

so it reads, US POT Office.... I wonder how many people ever notice that?

but it does explain the Q/C one can expect from that post office...

I will never bitch about any of the delivery services as they are spot on 99.9+% of the time I am sure. I have had minor trip ups but no worries. I just received mail that went from Houston to Atyrau Kazakhstan to Brisbane Australia in eight days. 'course I bitch about very little as it's all taken in perspective.

Had my tax return show up 4 1/2 years later one time, had two separate other letters show up a little over a year later. Think one was pushing a 1 1/2?

This past Dec. a priority mail package took 11 business days to show up.

Holy smokes

okay, that's pretty funny.

US POS with a picture of the president -- where the "T" used to be -- wouldn't be bad either.

had a tenant that always mailed a check in, they were never late, well one month I called and asked because it was about 5 days late they said they mailed it but would be right down with a another check, two months later I find this crumpled up envelope shoved in the mail box and low and behold it was there original check.

That is why I don't receive mail at home. They tend to lose things. Like antelope tags, elk tags, etc....

I have a PO Box 3 miles from my office and I can send or receive things in 3 days from anywhere except California.

There are things that happen within the USPS' jurisdictions which can be puzzling, for sure. However, when you consider the costs involved....a letter goes for less than the price of a premium bullet, travels farther, arrives in the desired condition, and 'hits' the target reliably a much better percentage of the time than some of the premium stuff (bullets) that gets raved about here.

Have no verification, but recall from around 8 years ago a local news channel running a piece about a Mother who received that week, a letter from her only Son. In hand writing, a few days prior to D-Day Invasion. I think the Mother was glad to have some kind of closure from the letter. But, talk about opening up the wound of an old heartbreak, just WOW!

That son was KIA on the beach landing. Had me shedding a few tears awhile for that Mother, whenever I thought about it.

that doesnt work here, shipped a scope a couple weeks ago priority down to New Mexico and it took 7 days to get there, media mail from New Mexico to here took 9 days had a priority mail letter take 6 months to get from here to the other side of the state.....YET i can get first class mail from Europe or eastern Asia in 3 days.....

I hope you're not using that to pay Freeman hospital in Joplin, Missouri. They'll just apply your online bill pay to other peoples accounts, multiple times, and let you straighten it out with collections. Once you threaten the wrath of God on them (and show them the cleared checks that went through their system), they'll happily reimburse you for their mistake.

Just sayin'-

at this point, anyone that uses the USPS frequently? if a customer tells us they sent a payment, at this point we tend to believe them if they have been on time in the past.....they have really gone to chit in the last year, we have gone to online paying for everything we can aswell....

I agree. I pay everything I can online.

But, I can't pay my water bill online. I can't pay it in town, even though the payment is to the local town. I have to send the payment to Denver for processing.

my mail box is the only one... for 5 miles north and 3.5 miles south....(we go by hwy road mile markers for a "mail box" #) i get everyones mail it seems..."names and mile number" not even close! so often that i have took to writing "wrong address again " on every piece of mail!!....I hang onto "there mail" for 3 days and then drop it at another post office in town. then every other friday since last nov......I call them clowns at the post office in town and tell them how many pieces "they " screwed up. The lady who runs the PO hates to hear from me...she don't know who i am either this week i have not recived any one else's mail..so far there are 2 dayz left ---- I'll will be calling to let them know either way lol!!!! When i do call she answers, and i say "guess who got everyone elses mail -again" i sure am having a good time! rotflmao! cum'on friday! i can't wait!
