For What It's Worth On USPS

Everything works in a slinky effect...to say 'they should have known in June because COVID started in March" is just ridiculous I think.

They will get caught up after the holidays and we will find something else to over-analyze

Thank You..... real facts finally

I went yesterday, and there was a line out the door but the workers were kicking ass, and I was out the door in about 30 minutes. There was a guy behind me yelling because he had 'been there for an hour'. Typically holidays fun.

Ordered from banggood on Nov 7th and nothing yet. I guess I wi be surprised if it ever shows up.

Sorry son your truck is ... somewhere.

Latest is an item shipped on December 14th, hasn't left the town it is shipping from since then. Again, UPS and FedEx are still running well, no idea what's up with the slowstal service.

USPS tracking is way off this year. Many of my shipments were scanned and not updated until it hit my PO, then all the tracking showed up. I’ve never seen this , but seems consistent this season

I understand that we are in unprecedented times, but at some point they should admit they can't handle the load and temporarily suspend new services.

Would you accept going to a restaurant and paying for food that was delivered to the wrong table? Or would you accept taking your car in for an oil change only to find out you paid for somebody else's new 10W-30 and Fram filter while your car sat in the parking lot?

Placed an order via ebay on Dec 8th from a shop in Phoenix, 2 hours South of my location

On the 9th I got notification that my parts had shipped and tracking info received.

Not a single update after that point. Tracking was non existent. 3 days after it’s expected delivery date I contacted the seller and they told me the PO is running slow and it’s out of their hands.

2 days later I got a tracking notification update!😲

My parts from Phoenix, 2 hours due South of me has been accepted in HOUSTON FRICKING TEXAS! 😡

Today’s Dec 21st and still no clue as to when or IF I’ll get my parts as they are still in Houston! 🙄

The snowflakes can blame Trump all they want, the PO issues have been ongoing for decades and it boils down to the fact that everything the goobermint runs, is not run well.

Goobermint’ unions, poor management, employee apathy, and piss poor service has been the norm for a very long time.

Time to privatize the PO and stop it being the bottomless pit of good money being thrown away😉

I've got 5 orders out (From Ebay) starting on Dec 7. Not one of them have shown a single update. 3 of them don't even show acceptance by the PO yet.

Regular mail is still flowing fine, but the packages are a complete meltdown.

I’m still waiting on a servo I ordered on the 2nd. Yet the lil novas arrived in 4 business days? I just want to drive my crawler.... :(

The POS USPS hasn’t been profitable in a long time. It has lost $69 BILLION in the past 11 years. How it’s still allowed to operate is beyond me. The main purpose of the USPS is to deliver junk mail anyway. I doubt anybody would miss junk mail. Think of how good the roads would be with an additional $69 billion. Pure insanity. My source link is below.

Only a fool would blame Trump, or any one President, for the failures of the post office.

The shop received the package I sent them 65 miles away on the 3rd, today the 21st. I have yet to receive the two I am waiting for. I did get two present orders by UPS, one was a day late but no other issues with them.

I shipped a new TRX6 body to San Diego via UPS ground last Thursday with an expected delivery date of tomorrow.

Buyer just messaged me that it had arrived a day early.

Shocking. 🤣

Another $10 Billion wasted on the USPS. It's in the COVID stimulus bill.

My Brother in law sent me this from his security camera a few days ago. With package thefts on the rise in our area and this is where they left it.
Yep that's where USPS left his package, right at the sidewalk. As you can see there is not a car blocking the driveway for access to the walkway to the door.

I'm not dogging on the whole usps. They do have their plus sides and good employees. But I've never had any good tracking with uses. Any package I've ever had shows its elsewhere and than magically shoesnup on my door when it shows its in another state. Lucky former your post office guys and gals have got my packages right but I've had neighbors have packages shown up at other people's houses including my house as well. Like lots if other things out there it does its good, but also has its bad side as well.

Well isn't that special, help the thieves out so they do not have to walk to far to steal your package.

How do we know that was a USPS pkg? I'm not saying that it's not but we can't see the label on the pkg? Just a truck sitting by the driveway.

The poster stated that it was on a security camera and a USPS Driver left the package there. Must have saw him or her do it in the footage.

It's all in the attitude (UPS instead of USPS):
