    • Post #835

    I still have good luck with USPS!

    We have a mail delivery person who won’t take outgoing mail. We’ve talked to the post master a few times and he says he’ll speak to the driver. 🙄

    So my wife takes the mail to work and sends it out from there.

      We've sent our last two car payments from St. Peters to Chicago. Nothing has made it in 2 months.

      The wife stopped at the PO to complain yesterday. The lady said buy a tracking number for $10 each because stamps don't mean anything! 🙄

        CallMeAl neither does the tracking number. It only provides a little entertainment as you watch and see where it ends up next.

          I've got a USPS package coming tomorrow (I think), that went from Washington DC to Richmond today. Fredericksburg is right on I95 halfway between those two cities. I could have met them at Burger King or something. 🙄

          I received the dreaded ‘Moving through network, in transit’ to me 🤬

            I think that means within the U.S. proper. Alaska and Hawaii may not be included, but I can check for you, if you'd like.

              I had 4 pieces of mail in my mailbox yesterday and all of it belonged to my neighbor who is around the corner with a different street name. The proximity camera on my door bell activates and records. He has earbuds in and I always hear him talking so he is obviously distracted. Go get 'em Elon.

                Placed an order with Value Golf on Monday....shipped Monday. Tracking shows Friday delivery, which imo is a day or so too long. Last night, tracking shows it in Chicago at 1:41 yesterday afternoon.
                Let's see how long it takes for 170 mi..
                Hasn't moved yet.

                Rickochet that is absolute crap. That would be a trip to the post office with that mail to make a point.
                This is NOT my mail, WHY is it ending up in my mailbox?? Your carrier screwed the pooch, you all fix it. Happens again, I'll be back every time. Not my job to fix your screwups.

                  My package has moved today. From 170 mi. East of me, to 170 mi. West of me, in Des Moines.

                  Got it a day late without notice just in time to swat a few before surgery. 🥴

                    USPS.....still works for me. Today anyway.
                    Package 'out for delivery', 1 day ahead of what was scheduled in tracking, but on the day I expected delivery when ordering.
                    And it came from the worst of the storms area to the West.
                    🤔

                    I ordered a head from Logicalone golf. USPS has had it a week. It's still in Missouri. Does the pony express hand it off to modern transportation soon? I'm hoping it's here to see action for the 2025 season...it winds down in October.

                    Well...my turn. This is being shipped from St. Louis to a Chicago suburb. Got close (10 miles away on Thursday) but has since turned the wrong way...perhaps on its way to Canada? Tracking info below edited for brevity.

                    I am of the opinion that the tracking system has an algorithm which substitutes movement to a different location while they are actually just holding on to the packages until they get an economical volume for a certain destination. Probably not, but we need a conspiracy.

                      Not USPS, but I just got dinged for a $1.00 penalty by PirateShip for overestimating the package weight. 🙄🤑
