I had an order shipped from CA on 1/28 and I got a notice this morning that it is out for delivery. Not bad. Perhaps USPS is getting caught up.

    Rickochet I had boxes delivered to NJ and TX in just 2 days, Sat.. I really don't have a problem with most of my outgoing items, but it seems some things coming to me, is a major problem, and it's not a local issue. I still have this case of a box of wandering golf clubs trying to find me. I've been updating the tracking, in the above post, in order to have a record to show the P.O., when I next sent an email. The tracking constantly changes, from when it arrives to when it departs, certain points. Wonder why? I esp. wonder why when yesterday I had another package coming to me along the same route, several hours behind this one. That one is out for delivery; this one....is again unaccounted for. wtf is with those people?

    This is the tracking for the box in my post above, and it has been changed. Computers do not change themselves, only the guilty do.

      Bought a set of Callaway irons on eBay 3 days ago. USPS status is "out for delivery today". WTF!?

      ValueGolf I never checked the map, but is that whole route from Warrendale-Uniontown through Amish country, where it would move by horse/buggy only? Sundays excluded.

        USPS actually got a switch to me 5 days after I ordered it from Utah. Two actually. Unfortunately neither were the switch I ordered. 😞

        Not USPS fault this time - but I felt like whining about it anyway. 😢

        So, I wake up to a shocker..."Out for Delivery!" Can't wait to see condition of box.
        Also, more good USPS news(when there is any these days) Package crossed into Canada, after an 8 day trek.
        Life is good. As always. 😉

          Spuzz Believe it or not, when I was doing a lot of Ebay selling a few years ago, I'd get boxs delivered up there in just 2-3 days. Delivered! Had the same luck all over the world in fact. Even now, 8 days crossing the border is damn good, imo.

              Par4QC Believe it or not

              Proximity to a busy hub near the border helps, as well as being close to Mississauga sorting office on this side, which is actually the customs warehouse too, if I remember correctly. Parcels used to be scanned on one side and passed across the floor in no time, in minutes in some cases, according to tracking. Shipped overnight to local PO and on the truck for delivery the next day.
              I can see my local PO from my apt window. Big truck rolls in around 4 am and little one rolls out around 8am lol

                  Only problem is that place is a breeding ground for COVID now. They are in the news now for not managing it well. I guess we will see if they impact deliveries in the near term.

                      ya, too many of them demo'ing clubs now, the bastages!

                        I gotta give USPS some props. My dryer heating element went out Friday afternoon. Ordered a new ono from Amazon with 2 day shipping. It actually arrived Sunday around 1pm. I didn't have much hope when I saw the USPS tracking number, but they came through this time!

                          Dufferman I can say, Amazon deliveries are never late, and sometimes early. Never....late, in the past 1 year.
                          Funny thing is....they are always delivered by the same company who's motto is "Due to COVID......", USPS.
                          Why is that possible????

                              Clubs are in hand and beautiful, with no signs of damage. Seller knows how to package his products!!

                              I also got a package from UPS. Ordered yesterday afternoon. When I checked tracking this a.m., it said..."label created", 2/2/2021. Then...... "Out for delivery". 😲 And it's on the counter now.

                                My Big Berthas showed up yesterday in 3 days. Granted, they shipped/received within Florida, but my last USPS Florida shipment went up to Atlanta and then back down to Florida. Inconsistent is the word.

                                Par4QC Why is that possible????

                                I've thought for a long time that USPS sold their sole out to the Amazon devil to get a big share of their business. And I truly believe they prioritize their Amazon deliveries to keep them happy. I know Trump railed on the deal those 2 have, even saying it was a money loser to USPS, but can you imagine how dire their financials would look if Amazon takes a walk?

                                    mikeintopeka UPS states that over 13% of their biz last year was from Amazon. Mine always come through USPS, and on Sundays, many times.
