It only took seven days for my package to make it from New Jersey to Bangor, Maine. It's still 120 miles or two days away. Privatize it.

Yes, averaging a month on media mail for me. Two different orders, two different people. Tom Miranda and Jim Spencer. I know it isn’t their fault at all. All they can do is hand it to the post office. Is this how people felt years ago when we didn’t have instant results like the internet!!

Our post office is the size of a fifth wheel camper our postmaster would rather send our mail back if it has our old address on it then put it in the box in front of her to be delivered.

Yes & No. I don't get exited about that type of thing. It is what it is and nothing I can do about it, so I take one day at a time. I do appreciate all those people do in a very upside down time in our lives.

Not just USPS. Everything is moving very slowly. Far to few planes hauling far too much mail so lots is being trucked instead. Way too few folks sorting and some are new so mistakes are being made and things get tossed into the wrong bin and head north instead of south. Many dealers on ebay have put their entire listings on vacation so they cannot be sold until after Christmas when the current glut is expected to clear up a bit, BUT shipping will likely not be back to near normal until after the covid virus is really controlled and people return to shopping in stores rather than via internet. No system, private or government could ever have a doubling of volume AND a sharp reduction in work force occur simultaneously and still keep up. And do not think I wrote this because I am a happy camper. I currently have 15 packages either stuck or slowly moving so I am affected some personally.

The people don't want or pay for excuses.They want service.There is a covid issue but that has been an issue for months same as with the shipping delays.So tell me.Where is the management of the system?Like I said 6 million people out of work and you can't find a way to get it done because of excuses.We have a military what about them?The sole problem lies with the government.I wonder who is in charge ? I will give you one guess.

Fed Ex and UPS are not government and are part of the problem.

Waited on a package from Ohio for 11 days through Fedex it sat in Hammond, Indiana for 5 of those days. Called fedex and inquired with no resolve, then called the company I bought the item from and they lit a fire under them. Package started moving within a couple hours and arrived yesterday in a unmarked van.

Probably a private contractor who did the delivery, a costly and inefficient option that is not available to USPS

Yep... having same problem. I believe some of it is this screwy deal between UPS and USPS... I had a package shipped by UPS to Newark where I live... then shipped to some other place in Ohio, where it set for 4 days and then sent back to Newark to be delivered by USPS. I sent UPS a nasty-gram. I am sure it didn't do any good, except made me feel a little better.

A family member shipped me some perishable items from Los Angeles on Monday. He was told that "guaranteed overnight to Anchorage" would take 3 days ! No joke !

Probably had to set her down a couple times enroute so the crew could stretch their legs.

My UPS and FEDEX packages have been arriving in good time yet my postal service packages have set in warehouses for weeks without movement.Yes I know that UPS and Fedex are not government.Most of the issue is the USPS which is government.UPS has a deal with USPS and once its in the USPS hands it slows down.

Seems like UPS is every day delivery here and FedEx is every couple. Few packages in the mail, but most is through Amazon Prime.

Constantly late. Held up an hour from the house for 5 days or more.

I'm waiting on a package that has been processed through Forrest Park Il. Post Office for the 5th time today since Nov. 30th. Still hasn't managed to make it out of there one time.
