Same occurred in November and December. We started ordering Christmas gifts online. It was amazing that anything we ordered via Amazon arrived within a day or two. Other packages got delayed and some never arrived until January. I actually received a Christmas card postmarked 12/16. I got it on January 14. Well, we found out that Amazon paid for their deliveries to take priority. So other packages got set back. Add to that the decreased number of employees due to the virus and that backlogged the regular mail. USPS sucks. Trust no man. Trust no plan made by man. FROG.

I've never understood people's complaints about USPS because they have been the best by far for timing and accuracy in my 20 years using shipping services. Even through all this nonsense they were still delivering ahead or on time until December. I believe they are deliberately piling packages and refusing to deliver them on time as part of some game they are playing. What we definitely know is that if they did not hire extra people in December because of a fake ronie, than that in itself is a deliberate slowdown. But I suspect they are actually being told to put packages aside, and then taking their good old time meandering over to those piles. |

And Then I Heard A Story. It all goes back to personnel. For about a year, now, the Postal Service has been having a very hard time finding workers. Plain and simple. In the small hinterland post offices there should be two part-time flexible clerks and a postmaster to handle the mail volume within the office. Yet, for one reason or another one of the clerks will retire, or have to go and do some National Guard stint, or maybe just not show up for work. Now, think about that happening in a huge mail processing facility. Where a shift should have 200 people processing mail and packages, there might be only 100. There is a very desperate need for warm bodies within the processing plants of the USPS. If you are looking for a job, don't mind working 12 hours, six days a week and want to earn and additional 10% night premium, then go and get a job at a mail processing facility. PS, overtime begins after eight hours, not forty. Plus any hours worked over ten in a day is calculated at double time. Makes for a very hefty paycheck. Qualifications?.....have a pulse and be able to work long hours. |

Might have to consider using another service for your customers until USPS stops this bullshit. I gave a little room for the holiday season and because I knew they were still playing the ronie game. But for this to start up again in February is total bs. From March until November, they were perfectly fine. All of a sudden right around Nov. 3, this shit started. I don't know what the game is but I suspect it has something to do with money and politics. |

And Then I Heard A Story. Yeah, I thought it was telling that I received last week 5-6 Christmas sale catalogs, including the yearly Swiss Colony catalog that usually arrives in late October or early November. I've never ordered anything from them but I've been on their mailing list for about 40 years. I wonder how much business they lost due to their catalogs not being delivered? They obviously didn't pay premium postage. What a racket by usps. |

And Then I Heard A Story. I've been using USPS for decades on a weekly basis. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 14046259 Every holiday season, they actually ship faster than normal. Since March, when they started the hoax, we kept hearing about slowdowns. I saw none. Until December. Just as holiday purchases started, USPS came to a halt all of a sudden. Many of my own purchases suddenly took 3-4 weeks to arrive. But when they arrived, the boxes were in perfect condition. As if they were just neatly sitting somewhere for weeks. In the past, on the rare occasion when a package got rerouted, it would come all banged up and dirty. But I got package after package that looked like it was just set aside and left alone for weeks. For one of my packages, it had been five weeks, so I contacted the sender. After weeks of it supposedly last scanned 5 states away, it showed up the very next day when the sender contacted USPS. The box was in perfect condition. So, again, it's looking like it was just sitting locally for weeks with someone just refusing to deliver it. Then, I heard from a friend of someone who works at the post office. He said someone from "higher up" had been reassigned locally, and then moved again for "misconduct." That misconduct being mishandling deliveries. Right after the new year, all of my packages went back to arriving on time. Some packages were delivered in less than 24 hours which I have never seen before. Now, starting a week ago, we're back to the halt. All of my packages just sitting in limbo with last updates in the same facilities as before. I believe they are doing this on purpose. We're taking a pretty big financial hit, same reason. Same status on tracking. For example, a rather large amount of packages were dropped off at USPS Jan 6, about 10% have been successfully delivered. Rest, show nothing new on tracking. A couple of those packages were for orders of more than a grand. Paypal is our payment processor, and well the customers sick of waiting, filed complaints, they , with no recourse of us disputed, take the money from the account and then give to customer. Surely, like has happened multiple times since covid started, they will eventually be delivered, and well most people honest. So out the money that they paid us, out the money we spent on parts....the losses for this year from this same situation, now approaching 20k. And NOTHING we can do about it. Such is life in covid times. |

The box got to me opened with a sticker which says not to accept if package tape has been compromised. Hard to do when driver leaves box at door and doesn't ring bell. Ups horrible woman got nasty with me even admitted their employees steal when I asked about cameras. She said there is no point in cameras the employees would figure out where there was no coverage and pocket the stuff there. Told me I wouldn't get a dime from them as Samsung didn't insure the phone they will only get the shipping back. I won my case so fuck them. Theives. |

Well, I am unsure what states you are all in, but I worked for the USPS in the past. EVERYTHING that comes in that day has to be delivered by 8 PM. If for any reason is not, it just does not get piled up, as you all claim. It would be scanned back to post office for address verification, or no access. The volumes where I worked were ridiculous. It was packed in the morning, and when we got back, it was all done. whatever it takes. I am not saying something could be going on, but it has nothing to do with the USPS not delivering. FYI, USPS delivers for UPS, amazon, and FedEx daily. |

It used to be a huge number of online shoppers before the hoax pandemic lockdown. Then people were ordering everything. Their groceries, their clothes, their bits and bobs, their gifts, their furniture and decor. Meat, veggie boxes. On and on. I asked my local Postmaster whether it had slowed down since the holidays. Nope it hasn't skipped a beat. I live Rural with a capital R and they have maybe 4 people who deliver the routes and they have to do it twice because they have to make a trip just for packages and then go back and get regular mail. Why? Because they use their own vehicles to deliver. It's not like they own box trucks like FedEx or UPS to do their deliveries. The post office isn't increasing the amount of people assigned to the offices either, apparently. I see it getting worse and worse. |
