USPS sucks

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...

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.

USPS sucks.....

I wish I travelled to as many cities as some of these packages go to. I can’t imagine how much money priority is now. I always send it the cheapest way.

Since they are short of help, don’t they realize if you ship a package in Ohio to another city in Ohio you can minimize the amount of people needed to touch the package if you don’t send it to Montana, Arizona, North Dakota and Maine first??

HybridWood

Checking in...granted this was a First Class Package, but still - 3 weeks to be delivered from IL to VA?!? It sat in IL for 10 days before moving, stalled again in Maryland. I called USPS on 1/15. Did the call shake the package loose?

Maybe, but they like to break shit and leave shit out in the weather.

I had a packaged shipped from Roanoke, VA on the 15th. So far it's made it to Indy with 2 other stops along the way.

Spartan I had one shipped from IL, that went to IA, then went to WI. It hit 4 stops there, before getting headed in the right direction. West to California!!! wth?

Spartan

Par4QC We once ordered cheese from Wisconsin. Within one day it was within 25 miles of our house in St. Louis. From there it went to New York. About 10 days later it showed up and went into the trash.

Typhoon

Spartan I would have thought it would have just aged more.

Spartan

The package shipped on the 15th left Indy and arrived at a local processing facility on the 22nd and left the same day. Two days later, it's back there and left again. Amazing.

Damn glad they don't charge by TOTAL distance. 😉

Spartan That's happened to me a couple times the past few weeks. Like the drivers get lost. In their own town.

Spartan

Par4QC I checked this morning and now it has gone through the same processing center 3 times! It was a birthday gift for my son who was here this weekend. I'll have to give it to him the next time he comes up since I sure as hell am not shipping it USPS.

Par4QC

Spartan I've got a couple problem spots showing up this a.m. also. A couple of them make no sense at all, as to why they are hung up. Right in the city/distribution area of where they are to be delivered.

I have a set of clubs coming from Neb. via USPS. They have been languishing around somewhere after leaving N. Platte 3 days ago.

I also had 2 packages coming in via UPS. Both are still sitting around Chicago(2 different dist. points), and 1 was there on Fri.. Deliveries were supposed to be today.

I'm sorry, I'm just not going to be buying into this "Covid delay" bullshit any longer. It's been almost a full year. People/businesses know what can happen in just 1 day & they should have plans in place to keep everything running smoothly. "On call"" & "overtime sign up" sheets are not a new thing. They've been around forever. And when it comes to mail and package delivery systems, well, that is just irresponsible management when things get delayed.

Fingers crossed....I just took 11 boxes to the P.O. earlier. 🤪🙏

Spartan

Par4QC You'd think it would be easier on everyone if the package didn't go through the same processing center 3 times!

Miraculously, the package was delivered today although it never showed as arriving at my local post office or being out for delivery.

meagain

Just got back from the Post Office. Raised their price today I was told on flat rate shipping.

Par4QC

meagain Tomorrow, the prices for that go up. But, other prices go down. Not sure why a company that is always begging for money is lowering prices. Works for me though!
