Is anyone having problems with deliveries from USPS. I ordered a package from Sterling fur last Monday. It was supposed to be delivered yesterday but still shows Departed Akron Ohio. USPS cannot give me any answers on it either. Package was expensive and I'm afraid I'm going to be out of some money. All it says is delayed in transit

Was your package insured...? That's always an option for either the seller to include or the buyer to ask (and pay) for. I've shipped close to 2,000 packages through USPS over 20 years and I can count on my hand the ones that never showed up, and two of those I thing were crooks in Hawaii. Sometimes packages "go missing" for a while but they usually show up...

USPS tracking is a sick joke but chances are you will get it before the tracking is updated. Got one last week, from Ohio, tacking said "delayed". Went to go to town and opened up the garage door, and there it was.

We ship over 2,000 packages a year by USPS priority mail. Packages not being scanned, arriving late, going to the wrong state, or being returned to us for no reason have been getting worse for the last couple of years. Covid really messed things up. They're getting a little better now but it's still not as good as it was a year ago.
Our post master is great to work with. We get a lot of packages that are scanned as delivered but the customer says they never got it. She can pull up the GPS coordinates where it was scanned as delivered. Sometimes it's at the customer's house. Sometimes it's at the wrong house. We've even had them get scanned as delivered in a parking lot miles away from the destination.

jbyrd63 , good post. Good points. I normally bash the USPS . Right now they are getting hammered , I will agree.
I will grant them a temporary bit of slack until the covid and mail-in ballot fiasco is done.

USPS tracking is a sick joke but chances are you will get it before the tracking is updated. Standard (free) tracking is terrible but of course they offer premium tracking for extra $. With that in mind I don't expect standard tracking to improve over time.

Yes, I have a small package that is 5 days past the delivery date. Got no tracking # for it. I sent the sender a message.

USPS tracking is a sick joke but chances are you will get it before the tracking is updated. But not nearly as bad as FedEx. I will never use them again. Time and again they will tell you the package is out for delivery, and then it doesn't show up. Happens all the time. If a UPS package says it's out for delivery I always get it that day.
