Place an order with a trapping supply house and it went from Minnesota to Hawaii. Not sure which way they plan on going to get it to Pennsylvania.

It happens fairly commonly. I had a package within 120 miles once and it ended up in Kansas City before it turned around and headed back to Omaha, Sioux Falls, then back to me.

USPS shipping sucks.

I've had packages stuck in some remote location they never even should have gone to for a month or more. I've had packages come from across the country to within thirty miles then shipped hundreds of miles south before eventually getting back to me.

I've started multiple cases on the delayed/rerouted packages and was basically told, "It's probably on a truck somewhere but it's en route. Nothing more we can do, we are closing this case."

When I complained that they hadn't done anything at all I was told, "You can open another case tomorrow."

USPS shipping sucks.

How come people only post how bad USPS shipping is??? Because people like to complain!!!., it makes them feel good.

Why don’t people post about post office packages that arrive right on time. Or better yet, when they are delivered earlier than predicted. Would be nice to see that Just once.

The postnoffice handles millions of packages. Overall I think they are doing a great job.

Because they are an easy target. The same things happen with UPS and FedEx. If people only knew how many packages and letters get delivered that say Grandma....18th ave such and such city ( large city) no house address. Of course, nobody complains about that. The vast majority of those complaining about the USPS wouldn't last a month in the job .

I agree. All things considered, they do pretty well.

How did it end up on a plane to Hawaii? The USPS doesn't have their own planes. Probably the same way your luggage gets screwed up. Complain to the the airline employees who handle and barcode pallets of packages.

Because I have yet to get one on the date posted. 2 to 3 day priority takes a week. Next time I will tell the supplier to ship usp and I will pay the difference. Had a next day priority take 3 days to get to a lab for testing.

I got 1 that happened today.

Sent a package to Bud in Galliano. This morning it was in New Orleans, 75 miles from Bud.

Just looked now to see if it made it there.

OF COURSE NOT!!!

The boneheads sent it to Shreveport, 350 miles west of where it was this morning. They say on its way to Bud. It was supposed to be delivered today, I doubt it'll make it.

And the USPS wonders why its losing money. All they have to do is look at themselves.

I sent a Priority Mail flat rate box from moscow, Idaho to Deer River, Minnesota. Shipped on Friday, September 17. Delivered at noon on Tuesday the 21st. Right on time.

I sent a Priority Mail flat rate box from Moscow, Idaho to bardstown, Kentucky. Shipped on September 4. Arrived on September 7. Right on time.

Would you like more examples.

I’m perfectly happy with the service I get from UPSP. I’ll take them most any day over UPS.

This thread is about the USPS. Not UPS which, for the most part, gets it right in my experience.

Had it been about UPS I would have posted that positive review.

The USPS sucks.

I will say that letters, bills, solicitations the USPS gets right for the most part. At $0.58 a pop they ought to.

Packages they suck at.

A lot of my feedbacks say, "fast shipping" . I always use the USPS.

Canada post is great!

The package I sent Bud was priority 2-3 days. Mailed on Monday. Today is day 4 and its not there yet. Maybe it'll get there tomorrow Day 5.

2-3 day priority is not guaranteed. Maybe you should inform yourself better

Who do you think delivers a huge portion of UPS packages? That's right. The USPS. I laugh every day they back up to the USPS dock to offload
Packages they don't deem "profitable " for them

There is no such thing as next day priority mail. You either send it priority or express. If you sent it express and it didn't arrive, get your money back, it's guaranteed.

You get free delivery bud. Doesn't cost you a penny unless you send something in the mail or pay the shipping cost of the person mailing you something. Mom sending you a birthday card doesn't cost you squat.

Now, if you can find another company that will ship your birthday card to mom across country for .58 cents....go for it.
