They have been sending a package back and forth between our PO here in Mason and the one in Middletown since 11/27. Reason, they said because my step daughter paid for it, but she had it shipped here to my address, it's on the fucking box!! She lives in West Chester and that's the address the payment is from. The Middletown PO is 18 miles from my house and 5 miles (or so) from hers. Mason's PO is about 2 miles from my house. How does the address of the payment have any fucking thing to do with the address on the box???

WTF is going on???

Plenty of lazy ass employees work for the PO. Ask their employees yourself, I have.

When you can't hardly fire someone, that's a recipe for a disgruntled workforce and poor work. Bosses become jaded, they take it out on employees. Good employees become resentful. Bad employees screw up and make everyone miserable.

Rickochet Now watch them put it on the wrong porch.

We had a case of this with a delivery from FedEx earlier this summer. The wife has been working from home since this crap started and decided a new desk was in order for the home office. We purchased one of those put them together yourself desks online... nice desk, but a PITA to put together. Anyway when FedEx delivers they drop it off on our neighbor's porch and don't tell her. She's 96 and notices the boxes the next day and let's us know. There are 3 boxes and I think the lightest one was like 75lb. So I put the wagon on the back of the lawn tractor, loaded them up (got them in one load with my wife holding), and back home. We've had FedEx throw boxes in bushes at work, leave refrigerate upon arrival stuff at neighbors (again at work), toss boxes out in the middle of the driveway, show up at 11:00 at night, etc. I guess that's part of living in the middle of BFE, but it never happens with UPS or USPS.

      Rickochet Don't think will happen. The Postmaster at the local office has been looking out for this package, and sending me daily updates, which I'd already seen.

        johnnydoom Ioway is full of varmints, can't be trusted.

        (here comes Wendell with a post... and maybe a couple others here😆 )

          Natpharm I guess that's part of living in the middle of BFE, but it never happens with UPS or USPS.

          I get more f-ups with UPS than USPS. Many times my postman has told me he saw a UPS package on my neighbor's porch with our name on it. So, now if I get a delivery notice but no package from UPS I check my neighbor's porch and it is usually there.

            Packaged delivered; 1 day from NJ to IL.. USPS is the greatest. 😆

            This package has been 'around the horn', but looks like something I just took to the P.O. myself.....not a scratch, smudge, dirt, nothing, on it. No torn edges. Not a damn thing wrong with it. Small flat rate box inside a flat rate envelope, and so heavy my wife couldn't lift it out of the mailbox. SMH

            A historic amount of packages and rising employee Covid-19 rates are causing significant backlogs at US Postal Service processing facilities before Christmas.

            All the shopping and shipping Americans have done in the last few weeks has inundated the system with what the USPS says is a "historic volume" of mail and packages.
            "The packages are up to the ceiling" in Philadelphia, local American Postal Workers Union president Nick Casselli told CNN. "I've been in postal for 35 years, I've never seen what I'm seeing."

            If I have 2 send a package 100 miles, They are meeting me 1/2 way... SAFER

            Still waiting on my logical one putter. It’s delayed In transit. Going on day 10 now since it was shipped “priority mail.”

              colej Me and Kelly are having no problems sending things back & forth up here. 2 or 3 days max.
              I'm having decent luck, so far, with packages getting delivered as stated....2-3 days Priority. Think I shipped to Steve in FL on Sat., and he got it on Mon..
              I do got problems right now with FedEx and UPS, with late deliveries....to me!

                  They have been pretty sucky for me lately. I ordered some cinnamon chips through Amazon on November 23rd, they were shipped and accepted at a post office in Maryland, but they completely disappeared from tracking for 5+ weeks, and then miraculously scanned at our county's hub yesterday, they're supposedly going to be delivered today. Kelly mailed me a putter on the 17th, made it to Sioux Falls hub the same day, but disappeared off the face of the earth for almost two weeks, and it is also supposed to be delivered today. A blanket my wife made for the daughter of an old co-worker expecting her first baby took two weeks to go about 35 miles via Priority Mail. A few EBay items have come only a couple of days late.

                  it’s a crap shoot with usps. There’s no rhyme or reason. I’m in Hamilton and Landon is in Mason. We are maybe 10 miles apart. I think Landon got his fairly quick?

                      My neighbor in VA mailed us a few small items we forgot to bring down this trip. Got here in 2 days. Go figure..... .

                        I haven't got it yet. Mine was delayed from the get go.
