And they wanna go up on the postage🤔

usps is my best shipping option here and they can certainly make things stressful. Poor tracking at best, may get lost or not, then they will give you a long projected delivery of weeks and it may show up that day. I've been hearing them say oh de joy at the local office.

I just received a muzzleloader that went from Iowa to Jacksonville, FL where it spent a few days. Next it ended up in Knoxville where it spent several more days. Next it spent even more time in Nashville. It eventually showed up. I think it took 2 1/2 weeks to get it

Maybe never left Omaha then?

249 years to get it figured out.

I kinda doubt they'll make it to east coast middle Appalachia by 9pm today..........

They aren't very reliable anymore.

I sent something from TN to Iowa 8 days ago, it sat in Salt Lake City for 3 days and it’s been in Georgia for the past 2 days. Looking over a map it appears neither of those states are around Iowa. Hopefully they send it back here and I’ll try again or they use a map and find Iowa.

Lol 😆

8 days in Omaha, and still bouncing around "departed sorting facility" and "in transit to the next facility".

Ridiculousness........

Beyond the usual lost / damaged, held 'in- transit' somewhere between ship point and delivery point, anymore I simply feel I just can't trust our local P.O. to put mail / packages in correct post office boxes / rural routes consistently. Hardly a month or two goes by that I don't get someone else's mail (with different p.o. box #) in our box at least once.

Former longtime postmaster retired last year, new one who replaced her cost a bunch of locals late charges on bills they hadn't received. Come to find out they were returned to senders because they were addressed to physical addresses rather than P.O. box numbers, something that had been that way for decades with no issues from previous post masters.

Local beautician had to cough up several hundred dollars in renewal fees and penalties because owner's business / operating licenses renewal notice was addressed to business address instead of P.O. box # therefore wasn't received before lapse date because it was marked, "incorrect address - return to sender". All this was without any forewarning whatsoever...

Gov't based pay scale diversity hires what the fug do you expect for $30/ hr competence? Used to be only vets and they did a good job then demmy politics said women , women of color and finally a hiring bonus to the hr fugs for multi colored hair and unsure of their sexuallity with the inability to find their ass with either hand never mind both.

Ayep, this is very true. Especially in Omaha.

I just shipped 4 packages USPS no problem.

I don't know how many times USPS tracking has shown my stuff in Boise for delivery here the next day. Then the next day's tracking shows it in Billings, MT or Louisville KY

N.O.O

I wish Trump would of killed them when he had the chance.

I think there are quite a few of us with packages bouncing around for some time

I had a package that went from Atlanta to Chitcago on UPS. Then it was switched to USPS. They shipped it East to Ohio then West to Missouri.

I have had a package going between Duluth, Mn and St. Paul, MN for 10 days now. It still hasn't left the state.

USPS seems to be giving a lot of hassles lately. Sometimes it's better to use a local shipping firm, far more reliable lately.

Here at work, I pay my bills on time. Every Friday I print checks and pay all of my invoices that are due in the next 10 days.

The beginning of November, I paid my October Republic Services bill. In the beginning of December, Republic was on my ass because I was late. So after 4 weeks, I had to put a stop payment on the check (in case it was stolen and not to duplicate) and printed a new check on 12/11. Stop payment $35.00. Sometime in December the first check was received (6 weeks later), but kicked back because of the stop payment. Here we are 6 weeks after the second check was mailed and it's still AWOL. Friday I put a stop payment on that one (another $35.00) and printed a third check, along with $70.00 of finance charges, and took it to the PO and mailed it Priority Mail ($10.00). Hopefully that one will make it. This has cost me $150.00. My January payment made it in 10 days.

I've got another vendor in Chambersburg, PA, an hour up the road. I printed a check for them on December 15th and it's AWOL. Had to put a stop payment on that one also. Another $35.00. I printed a new check for that bill and my driver is hand delivering it this morning when we pick up a load.
