I stop mailing things the first week of December unless it's required by the customer, things back up to fast, been this way for years now, this year is just worse because of the virus and the election debacle.

Always tell the customers your on your own if you wish a delivery in December after the first week.

Even if I order parts I try to do so in September for my needs

Other wise I don't ever have a problem with USPS, they work great for me !!

We shipped a bunch of orders this past Friday and all but one is in Rochester. The one that isn't in Rochester was out for delivery in California this morning

I guess the shipper had to say No about anything in the package being perishable...but too bad they got to you rotten

Their tracking numbers are a joke. Terrible.

You pay for 2-3 day service and it takes a week to get it there then they say it’s perishable but take zero responsibility for any of it.

I hope I can get a letter on time. I'm expecting a check from selling some stock in 9 days.

I'm also getting ready to send off my old pellet gun to mac 1 in California to be beefed up and rebuilt
. I'm will to pay for next day air ect.. but now I'm wondering who to ship it through and if that would be a wast of money.

It's not just the USPS all shipping places are extremely slow these days. People are staying home and ordering everything on line and they aren't equipped to handle the huge influx of items to be delivered.

They have been over loaded with fake Biden ballets. Isn't there states still counting? If so they are still hauling them. If the states are all done counting it should only be bad for about another month. They will add them in too.

Who has the answer or excuse to why the delays are occuring ?Fedex and ups are fine but the postal service is a disaster.So we got 6 + million unemployed.Who to heck is running this operation? Maybe they need to put some of these people to work.How about servicing one of the most important jobs right now which is getting the mailed delivered.Were to heck is the government?

Yep. Memphis seems to be the big hold up here. Either coming or going when a package hits Memphis it falls into a void.

I have had several issues with slow shipping. Last week I went to ship and item that I needed to arrive by Friday. I was shipping on Monday. The window person told be that 3 day priority is no longer guaranteed in 3 days, but for $25 more I could have it there in 3 days. I asked the window lady why 3 day priority was no longer guaranteed, but I could pay extra to have it guaranteed? She replied thats just the way it is.

When operating with a drawn down workforce who are getting the job done using overtime, and someone cuts out the OT things slow down. On top that, this covid problem. The Harrisburg processing center had over 170 call offs. Managers are upset, but the instructions are if you have the symptoms you are to call off. Then tests take about 5 days. It's a wonder things are getting through as fast as they are.
