Same here.

Two weeks ago I had my midway package a day early.

This time, stuck, somewhere. Girl at the Post Office said nothing they could do until 30 days had passed. Also said the tracking on that package wasn't human scanned as it passes through the system. So who knows where it's at.

That must be the way USPS does it going west. I sent a MO to Idaho a couple weeks ago from Wisconsin and it took about 8 - 9 days to get there. Package in return took 2 - 3 days. I think going west it goes via slow boat around the horn. Ridiculous.

Jetstream....

Actually, it seems like freight (that actually goes by UPS) is moving FAR faster than snail mail going USPS.

Usps slowed waaaay down to my area for packages. Like a month to get here.

The degree of incompetence in the USPS is off the charts. They lost 6 billion dollars last year. And the changes are minimal.

As of 2021, the USPS operates 31,330 post offices and locations in the U.S., and delivers 128.8 billion pieces of mail annually, to 163 million delivery points


Let’s try to find something to bitch about. How about handling 13 BILLION pieces of mail and make no mistakes.

UPS and Fedex are only better than nothing at all and will do anything possible to not ship a firearm…

Not to argue your point, but it's literally their damn job to handle that mail, and it's their responsibility to do it efficiently. It's not like they've been doing that one job since the Second Continental Congress in 1775 or anything, 248 years ago. I'd think that'd be reason enough to bitch when they screw up.

You need to re-think just what “efficiency” means. There isn’t a single piece of equipment or a business in the world that doesn’t have some inherent internal problems that will prevent it from working perfectly. Maybe you should contact the USPS and tel them how to handle the mail better…

The USPS was never designed to be a business. It was established as a public service.

UPS and the others only exist because the Post Office can't do their job right and never has. The bar for those others has never been very high. 250 years is a long damn time for the PO to continually demand more and more money for continually screwing up. That entire system, front to back, should run like a Swiss Watch by now, and LONG before my generation showed up on this God Forsaken rock. Go ahead, change my mind. Two and a half centuries.

I've been lucky have two shipped and been here early. One from Washington State said would be here Monday. Got here today Friday will pick it up today.

Thanks, USPS

Don't stand there and act like I've no right to say anything. I, and millions of others, pay the tax dollars that fund the bailouts, we pay the fees they demand to post mail, we buy our own Post Master General approved mailboxes and install them, we pay to dispose of the reams of junk mail and advertising that the USPS whores themselves out to. It would appear my end of this bargain is kept, and then some.

Just paid $8 f'n dollars to recieve a $10 dollar item that didn't even go out the door with a tracking number, which by the way, is ovedue. Pathetic, at a minimum.

What are you a dumbshit or something?

Use UPS and quit your bitching…

If only the world could be so perfect as to make principled choices on every thing, every time.

Apologies if your fragile feelings got hurt, or something.

A boxcar load of you couldn’t hurt my feelings…

Oh I get it. I understand. Nobody likes to look a fool when they can't formulate a good debate to back up their own BS.

Have a good day now ya hear.

Retards galore.

USPS has been good to me.

Thanks, USPS
