slow. It takes 5-7 days to get a package from So. IL to STL. then it sits there for 2 weeks before it moves. I ship 300-500 packages a month, and customers are not happy.

Shipped two large flat rates on December 7th to Missouri.

One arrived after 17 days, the other stills sits in a sorting
facility in St. Louis, 100 miles from it's destination.

Customer is not happy, and me as the shipper is also a bit miffed.

You could WALK there and back and still have it before USPS finished their coffee.

My IPSC gong is still undelivered... Ordered in early November from a place in Minnesota. Going on 60 days now.

The changes the new new head postal guy made late last summer seem to have had the same effect everywhere. We too ship a lot for our business. And we also have lots of angry customers, not sure how many we have lost because they mostly understand it's out of our hands.
But the "improvements" made last year i to the postal service haven't improved anything anyone i know has experienced.

I ship a lot of parts for our business. UPS and Fed ex do good job. we ship primarily UPS and they have been on time even thru the Holidays. You guys need to compare costs - UPS has volume discounts and they now offer flat rate boxes - bigger and cheaper than the post office. I only use the post office for Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico.

They are doing better down here. I've ordered gun parts and paraphernalia and had on time deliveries 3 times in a row now. 2 of the 3 were Texas companies but the ebay order was from NV.

(fingers crossed they are on a roll)

Just got back from local post office. Woman in charge told me expect long delivery time. They have trucks loaded and no drivers. Pay is great but covid got too many drivers down, she says. Sent furs to moyle mink. New York to Idaho priority mail. Quite pricey as usual. Got some more to send but itwill be a week or two. Gonna try Sleepy creek tannery with that bunch. I'll compare wait times, prices, and quality.

Son sent me a Christmas card and was stamped Dec. 8, 2020 from Arkansas. Got it yesterday Jan. 6, 2021! Hate to see how long a package would take!

Coonrich - I think Priority Mail packages move faster than first class letters.

I ship by Express Mail. It's very expensive with the dimensional shipping. The Post Office is now only giving a partial refund when they are late and doesn't say why. They are late 1/3 of the time lately.

Had a customer in Mi send a check in a priority mail envelope from the PO. Cost him 7 or 8 bucks to send it on the 2nd of Dec. I finially got it just after Christmas. I had sent his parts about the same day, and he had them in about a week. His sat for weeks in Mi, and their excuse ..... kung flu!

I agree Wiss Miss but before it usually only took 4 or 5 days for a letter or card.
