ode I sure as hell did when I opened my mouth!!

Now, this a.m., I get an update from UPS saying a box headed this way is delayed. WTF is going on with these people, from all shipping services?
P.O. says people are quitting, most before their probation ends. Older ones are retiring early. UPS is hiring. WTH...no one likes working for money today? Yeah, give them all $300-600/wk. for extra compensation, to sit on their asses.

All managements need a complete overhaul if they are having "COVID" problems over a year later. And people need their asses kicked to learn how to work for a living. And, work, being the key word.

Right now, I've got tracers out on any package shipped by me, or to me, if they are 1 day past due. Make 'em work.
And these tracers appear to work similar to ex-lax. As soon as I file, things move!!

      I MUST learn how to get these tracers!! Where do I enroll in class to learn this???

              Gladly, "crazycazboys". Weird, the thing I have from ebay says they issued a "partial refund", but I assure you, it was a full refund. Does he now, somehow claim full asking price? He accepted my offer.🤔

                Somebody explain this to me. Tracking number doesn't show up in the system.

                  Looks like item was never actually brought to USPS.

                  sdandrea1 The only explanation is "USPS sucks"

                  USPS may not have had a chance to screw this one up yet if they have actually not received the package. Many USPS clerks will not scan a prepaid package unless you request a scan so it won't show up in the system unless it gets scanned along the way. The shipper is likely the issue here but the 6th and 7th were weekend. And if it is actually delivered to the PO today tracking may not show up in the system until tomorrow.

                      Looks like "something" got picked up and went from Yorktown to Sandston (Richmond). USPS does move things over the weekend. I've had this happen many times, BTW, and the item has always been delivered.

                        The last 3 packages I have sent all showed the same. I personally dropped them at the PO but the next and first scan was at the location they were being delivered to. The tracking always showed that USPS was waiting for the item and there were no scans until at the location where I was sending the item. All 3 times it looked like I never shipped the items but so far all has ended well.

                        Par4QC Both being delivered today......TX and CA.

                        Anything in the stimulus package set aside for USPS? I actually don't know since I'm into my fifth month of news avoidance.

                            johnnydoom Same here. But, I do sometimes see Joe walking out to a podium, closely followed by The President. I get the giggles, every time I see that. 🤣

                            I did see a 'fact check' on the local news last night(not picked up from any other news source, their own checking) that almost 1T of the package is actually going towards effects of the coronavirus. So that is good.

                                Walterjn You feeling any better about life in general??

                                No. The problems are still there and growing, I just now know that I'm helpless to do anything except wait for the kaboom. No sense keeping up with things that I have absolutely no influence over.
