Praying for better USPS delivery times. Slowly getting worse!

I could show you similar tracking info from UPS......or especially Amazon.....not really sure what your point is.....other than to complain online.....call the USPS or the company that shipped the item....maybe they entered a bad shipping label

Printed a label on Pirate Shipping yesterday to ship out 3 ECU computers to be repaired. UPS was a couple bucks more than USPO so I paid the extra to go with UPS way more reliable.

I bought one of Lee Steinmeyer' fleshing knives (super knife by the way) last year. USPS also ran it around the country for two weeks. I finally got it. They are a joke.

Got an invoice from the Lumber yard, they said do not put the check in the mail, just drop it off next time you are in town. They have had their problems.

everything in WI goes to MKE or the cities for sorting. even if you send a letter one city over , all the way to a regional

had a suspicions package a few years ago , post office reported it to local pd and they called the postal inspector as well as the recipient it was to be deliver too

he was a trapper they didn't know that till he called back and said , ahh yeah I bet a jar of lure broke open and he drove to the PO and they set it in a different box he took it outside and opened it and sure enough

PD had called and left a message for the postal inspector , 3 days later got a call back
only one postal inspector for all of the upper Midwest stationed in the twin cities MN apparently

I know there is more than one Postal Inspector in MN. I talked to 2 of them at once !

By the way, they don’t like being called Pinkerton’s !

all I have is what the police chief reported , makes you realize IF something bad ever goes down , it will be all local boys and girls dealing with it till the feds see it on the news and decide they want to get involved.

Sent a turkey barrel to GA to get camo dipped by way of Cali somehow it sat in Cali for a few days but did make it to GA eventually, that was UPS but a rare occurrence compared with the PO.

Sold traps on the Trap Shed and the buyer put postal MO in the mail on May 25th! I haven’t seen it yet! He’s sending a replacement and I haven’t seen that one yet, either!

Just this week I mailed 60 bullet stake ends and chain links to somebody to weld them up for me. Mailed it usps priority flat rate medium box. It was very well taped up and packed tight with paper and even en extra cardboard bottom. When he got them 4d of the bullets are missing and box retaped. Awful service.

Solution. Every tman member put a recently deceased muskrat in a box and mail it a couple hundred miles away.. Usps has 2-3 days before they notice of their ways.

Six weeks before her wedding, my daughter sent wedding invitations out. Her aunt lives 300 miles away in the same state. She mailed a thank you from the shower, and the invitation at the same time. She used address stamps from a computer program so she only had to type them in once. Her aunt received the thank you, but not the invitation. We got the invitation back a week or so later and said no one there at that address. My wife talked to the local postmaster, confirmed the address with her sister, and was told they were correct. She sent a second invitation out immediately and we went on with life. She texted that she got the invite today. My daughter's wedding was almost three weeks ago.

That’s the story I get on every package I track. I quit bothering, I let it be a pleasant surprise when Taquan actually flys the mail
