One just has to read the newspaper to see what’s happening, the Post Office is overwhelmed with the volume of mail.
Yep, but a lot of knuckle heads don't seem to understand no matter how many times they are told or hear about the current issues. I really love the people that think if the ship Priority it will get there in 3 days, if they would learn to read it says Expected delivery in 3 days not guaranteed delivery. If you really want something delivered quicker try shipping Express Mail which most of the time gets where it's going overnight but it will cost ya a pretty penny.

Well, it appears both of my slow deliveries will be delivered today. One only took 10 days to go from Ohio to Texas, but the other took 16 days to get from Kentucky to Texas. From what I’ve heard, I’m lucky it only took that long.

How would you like to pay for Express Mail expecting it would arrive the next day but it arrives in 2 weeks instead?

FYI: I been waiting for a large package that was Priority mailed 3 Dec and went into a regional facility 3 Dec. It has not moved since going into the regional facility. I requested an inquiry and they replied after the 2nd request that the package is delayed do to Covid. Another forum member has had the same thing happen, except his went into a regional facility 9 Dec and has not moved. If you need to mail a large package, you might want to consider an alternate carrier to the USPS. Update: With no tracking updates (except the final delivery one) my package was delivered the 23rd.

Mine has been in Memphis for 5 days now, and scanned twice in two different zip codes, both in Memphis. I don't think anybody knows what truck to put it on to get to a small town. Up and down the interstate is all they know. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

In an earlier post, I stated I may have to look at UPS for shipping packages in the future. NOT! Yesterday I drove the 25 miles to the nearest UPS hub to ship some ammo because it’s the only option. Walked in and told, “we are not accepting any packages for shipment until Monday!” No mention of that on their website, and no Tel# listed to call in advance. I would have tried Fed Ex, but that was another 20 miles.

Shipped a shotgun to another fire member out in the Carolina's from Illinois using priority mail through the post office. It arrived a month late, but it arrived!

Shipped a rifle part via USPS to a member on here and the envelope arrived torn without the part inside. Sucks but thankfully it was a small and inexpensive part.

Express Mail just means you get to pay more and it will arrive at the same time 'snail mail' does. No refunds, either. BTDT

Mailed a rifle to Florida on Monday, arrived yesterday. I am shocked, shocked i tell you!
