USPS sucks

sdandrea1 That was a good one. Take a look at Manhunt: Deadly Games, and Mindhunter. I watched those more because I have been a fan of Criminal Minds.

Going to the post office now to see how much to ship a set of shafts from Massachusetts to Carlsbad, CA.... This should be a riot...

Yup, holy shit.... cheapest to CA takes 2 fucking weeks for $21.00

North Carolina is $12 and is also 2 weeks. I might go ask UPS.

Yes, $12 shipped is no longer a thing.

Typhoon Why you waste time? USPS website can tell you all you need to know about weights/costs.

I've got a box of clubs going to upper NY, 7#, cost is around $19. Not that bad, imo. Anything to CA is high as hell now. 3# was almost $16 from here.

My clamp was supposed to show up yesterday. It got delayed but is now at least in Phoenix. Hopefully it arrives tomorrow.

Saw a Facebook post by Valuegolf with a pretty funny message to USPS.

Mattyv Yeah, I just did a 2nd check for the day and saw that. I also just now seen 2 others that got delivered that wasn't showing 'out for delivery' this a.m.. WA was 1 of them....2 days. The 2 down in LA are very surprising; always took 3-4 days before Covid.
This is getting out of hand.

Dufferman Like I said prior, I've had no issues getting packages here, and VG has been one of them the past couple days. I was surprised to see it that day.

I don’t have a scale to weigh it on. Maybe I’ll try the website now that I know what it costs and see if I can do if I knew the weight.

I guess I could stand on the bath scale, weigh myself and then do it again holding the box...

USPS rates are going up AGAIN, 1/24.

Yup.. wtf?? I’m going to end up keeping them. Both people said no because of 2 weeks time. Used to be 3-5 days.

USPS is doing all that so they can get more money from congress.

Sarnella USPS is doing all that so they can get more money from congress.

You mean this ragtag outfit is orchestrating an "organized disorganization?"
I find that hard to believe.
I do believe they are sitting on packages though.

Its because Covid is decimating their workforce. We’ve seen it here firsthand.

sdandrea1 Priority 2-day my arse.

I had a time sensitive business deal I needed to ship documents. One party in Lincoln, Ne and I sent theirs FIRST CLASS certified on a Saturday morning and it arrived Monday. NICE.

The other party is in Salt Lake City and I sent their docs Priority. 5 days! From here it rattled around in 2 distribution centers in the KC area (two of them!) after it arrived in the first center on Monday (typically priority goes in there the same day). Then they pussyfoot around and send it to fricking OMAHA on Tuesday. Omaha doesn't turn it around until the wee hours on Wednesday. Arrives early in SLC on Thursday and delivered to partner later that day.

That delay to SLC may have cost the deal. I should have have sent it Fed Ex 2 day and they would have had plenty of time to turn it around. Lesson learned. The price of delivery services just went up.

While I was stewing and chewing around this fiasco that was unfolding before my eyes, I wonder why so many points have to touch a piece of mail? Are these extra stops by design to placate unions that demand more employees in more locations in exchange for votes? Or is it political patronage where a Congressman promises jobs to his district? The weight of the Christmas season and the pandemic is shedding light on this organization's house and the cock roaches are scrambling.

My 1 hang up for the week. And, they are constantly changing things in the tracking info. After arriving at Columbus on 1/14, it left Columbus on 1/14; deleted on timeline. Earlier today, it showed arriving back at Columbus, which has been deleted from tracking. Now, I'm wondering where it's headed...again, as Delaware is a suburb of Columbus. Idiots. Cincinnati pulls the same shit at their hub.
