Got a package that's been sitting an hour away for nearly 20 days with no updates since. Talked with others who have been waiting just as long. How can mail sit there for over 20 days and not move ?

The new management has really slowed and confused mail delivery the past few months.
My business depends on it and in 35 years i have never experienced anything even close to this.

USPS is broken, I have had the same problems recently that you are describing.
Switch to UPS whenever possible.
Some people have good success with FedEx; not me.

Same thing here, been waiting for a package for my nephew (whom I will see this weekend) for two weeks now! From a reputable dealer on this site...darned shame!

USPS works hard to not deliver the mail no recourse for poor service they have ways to wear down anyone that dare challenge their system and will pay people more then just paying the claim.

When the chips were down and the new vaccine had to be delivered right and on time the Government went with UPS and FedEx what does that tell you?

USPS is outdated and no longer needed. It is a bloated government program that has outlived it need.

Yet, somehow, they managed to get millions of votes delivered for Biden. Amazing.

If they are overwhelmed they shouldn't be advertising that they can get something to someone by Christmas if mailed by the 19th. Paying for priority mail and getting something over 20 days later from one state away is like paying for a big mac and getting a cheeseburger then McDonalds saying sorry, deal with it.

This is the third thread on poor USPS service in the last couple of weeks.

In the last two I described a package my wife and I sent to Chicago to be forwarded by the military to our daughter in Austria. My wife paid an extra $50.00+ to get ity to Chicago in two days. Two weeks later (yesterday) she got a tracking update that said it arrived at their Chicago facility.

Meanwhile, my daughter messaged us that she received the package yesterday.

My wife was on the phone everyday but got no satisfaction.


Eh...wot?

The USPS is officially blaming personal shortages due to Covid along with an unprecedented amount of mail.

What was their excuse last year? LOL

I used to work for the govt. until a few months ago. What I was seeing was a very reduced acceptable level of work starting in March with the shutdowns. I’m seeing the same thing with teachers in the local school system with their work with no students present. They’re getting perfectly comfortable getting paid through this. They’re not like the people who are struggling to get by because of this govt., both state and federal, over reach,
