According to the latest news, its going to get slower as the new head is tasked with reducing costs. I placed an order with Hireko golf for a new putter gri...

Par4QC WTF are the problems these pussies are having, with "doing their job, and doing it quickly/accurately"?????????

Fuckin' union backing, that's the problem.

Bravopilot Just wait til that pineapple moonshine hits the market. Everything will go straight to hell then.

sdandrea1 I mailed a USPS International flat rate box today to Canada. Tic, toc........

I did that Monday. 4 days later it is 50 miles west at another USPS terminal.

Par4QC I worked a few years, recently, doing 10-12 hr. days/7 days a week. Manual labor, dirty labor, on my hands/knees on concrete floors a lot, making a lot less per hour than the P.O. people do, with absolutely no benefits whatsoever. I was well into my 60's doing this.

Yeah, "old school", that's me. And I get extremely pissed off with those that think differently. Fucking Unions. And pussies.

Rex, the system is just more overloaded than it has ever been. I won't say that the USPS is perfect but online shopping due to covid has buried the USPS and they are shoveling it out the best they can.

Par4QC

Rickochet Yeah, yeah. I had some of those postal worker types as my co-workers when I was doing all of those hours/days. It's why I did them. Most times by myself.

I'm down to just 1 package still missing/enroute 'to it's destination'. I contacted the seller and they are on it now. In the meantime, they are sending out another package, asking that I return 1 if they both show up. I told them I would not; I will gladly purchase it when the time comes, even if not needed.

This kind of service pretty much boils down to the quality, integrity, attitude and work ethic of the employees. The system is old, but it works where the folks with "the right stuff" make it happen. We know our carrier in VA very well and she busts her ass to do her job right. On days she's off work, it's easy to tell. Our gal in Florida.....same deal. I occasionally use a different post office for some drop offs and feel like my package just got abandoned.

That helps for sure. But currently the issue is the biggest shipping season in history. You can only pump so much water out of a particular size pipe. All the services have plans for normal seasonal shipping seasons. This one is different. The system is just overwhelmed.

Well, you guys jinxed me. I've one I shipped on the 10th "delayed" somewhere.

I took a priority package for Canada to the PO last Monday. Tues it goes 30mi. east to Lexington then back the other direction 50 miles to Louisville. It sits in Louisville 4 days until yesterday and is on to the next stop to sit a another 4 days I guess.

Talked to a friend last night who works for the USPS. They are running at 50% staffing due to COVID, and was telling me they aren't that bad off compared to some. I think it is Nashville that has close to 100 18 wheelers full of mail and packages waiting to get processed.

Fed-Ex and UPS also have passed stuff over to the USPS as they are focusing on vaccine distribution.

I have a gerber knife set that shipped on 12/10 from Roanoke, VA never to be heard from again.

Yesterday I got the email from the seller where they were going to send out a new package. Then, this a.m., I'm seeing this, and it cannot be the 'new' shipment......

The new shipment should have a different tracking number. If what you are showing is from the USPS website using the old tracking number it would appear that your original package was returned to Kearny.

Well, USPS still sucks. $55 to ship some iron heads to Canada via Priority mail. So after 10 days it has creeped from KY to NJ. I guess I should at least be thankful it hasn't gotten lost, YET. 😆

Good news is he won't need them for another 4 months
