Guy sends me tracking info for some material (he sends it Jan8). It arrives inside state lines and it hits the north distribution center 40 mins from my house on Jan 10 and it's stuck there. Currently says "moving through the network and on it's way to the next facility". I go to TWO different post offices and no ones seems to help.

I get the rundown from the post master about how the weather messed up everything and that it's a transportation issue. They basically push me out the door and don't offer any assistance; don't give me a number to call, they don't email anyone or make a call for me, basically tell me that if it doesn't arrive in 30 days I need to file a claim. However, I send stuff through FedEx and UPS all the time and HARDLEY EVER have any issues. Anyone experiencing problems with the post office lately?

I ordered something out of Nebraska on the 12th, to be delivered today the 19th, shipped via USPS.

Tracking shows it left Bellevue and hit Omaha on the 13th, on the 17th tracking shows "in transit to the next facility".

Today's tracking update shows it arrived back at the same distribution center....in Omaha.

They have ONE fuc king job to do.....and after 249 years of existence, they STILL can't do that ONE fuc king job correctly.

Louis De Joy sure fixed things didn't he......

I always have problems with them
Unfortunately, they're the only option in this
area for me to utilize.
That's the problem with everything in the nation
right now. Can't fire anyone for incompetence,
and can't hire by merit and experience ( which is
how all jobs should be filled)

The last few things I've sold and had to ship
had a vacation tour of sorts, stopping at the
various depots and "logistics centers " instead
of a direct route

IMO it's so as many USPS employees can lay
hands on something to justify their jobs as
essential

My 2 cents

There are 7 different distribution facilities in Omaha plus the main one. So I doubt its the same one. Heres the life a letter or bill sent out to an address 11 miles from me. Drop off at PO. Then goes to Columbus 32 miles away, then it goes 115 miles to Omaha where it kicks around the distribution centers for 3-4 days. From there it goes 150 miles to G.I at which point it gets loaded on a truck after 1-2 days to go 31 miles to CC to the PO for delivery.

~ 300 mile trip to go 11 miles. Now that’s efficiency.

Yes they’re ok usually ,but during Holiday season fall off sharply probably due to volume.

I ship a lot of stuff, and use USPS exclusively. The disappointment is nowhere near what some people seem to complain about…

As many problems with USPS as I have with FedEx and UPS.....................





rather few considering

Where i live is rural area and if you order from amazon they are only using the usps for final delivery so i have to make a trip to p.o. To pick up anything from amazon. I try not to order from them anymore for that reason. and what the heck good is free prime delivery if i gotta go get it!! Anyway i said that to say our p.o. Is backed up with pallets of amazon stuff everyday slowing up the normal process.

The storm in the middle part of the country screwed up.lpgostics big time. We use all the carriers, about 25K worth a week and everything is backed up. It'll get sorted out.

who is he?

I’ve had multiple incidents the past 60 days, all priority shipments. The package is supposed to arrive on a certain day. That day comes and goes and the package remains in transit to the destination, and will be arriving late. Then no updates until the last moment, as it arrives, several days late.
I sent something cross country via UPS five days ago. That one arrived a day early.
The usps is just another government entity that is totally broken due to government mismanagement.

I ship a lot and almost daily.USPS has it's problems, but are very much better in "my" case than the other two.

Just hope and pray you don’t have to go to bat with usps over insurance claim. Pack and tape it twice as well as you think it should be

I've not got any mail delivered since Saturday. We did get about 5" of snow and some more ice but, don't they have a motto?

Who's the pool chick?

I prefer USPS to UPS or FEDEX. Usually quicker and with less problems.

Jenna Jameson. A pornstar from the 90s. A popular one too.

Yeah. Jenna Jameson

We do mostly overnight or 2nd overnight, usps is wholly unreliable around here.

I sent a check by usps to Tim Olt for a knife 2 years ago and it took 6 weeks for him to get it. If I recall correctly, he got it the same day the second check I sent him arrived.

Usps could be eliminated and I would be a lot happier.

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. Mb

Ayep, this is very true. Especially in Omaha.

I just shipped 4 packages USPS no problem.





P

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.

I have a package stuck in Commiefornia for 5 days now.

you are a rareity then ...

No. Our carrier called me the other morning to let me know he had a sign package, should he bring or leave. Leave please, wife will grab it when she is in town.

Seem like we are all in the same boat. I watched the news this morning and now the local TV stations have gotten involved; a local US state representative has reached out to the Post Master General and has held a press conference. let's hope that this lights a fire under someone's ass. My package was mailed to me priority on Jan 8 and has hit the north Houston distribution center and it's stuck! This is really starting to get under my skin!

+1

Perhaps it is being done on purpose to help usher in the new electronic currency.

It's funny how the usps has no problems getting my estimated tax checks to the tax office.

Good Point!

FINALLY!! I received an update that after a little over three weeks of my package being stuck at the distribution center in Houston, it is out for delivery. I will see it today!!

I sent a M.O. from Indianapolis to Tuscon, only took two weeks to reach its destination. It seems certain points West can be problematic, Montana for example can be really bad as far as time it takes to be delivered.

You are lucky. I almost never use USPS anymore.

West? Lol. Try East. You'll be lucky if it ever gets there. I never ever use USPS postal money orders any more.
