Ordered from F & T on Monday have tracked the shipment from Alpena - Grand Rapids - Gaylord - Grand Rapids - Detroit - Flint on successive days still not delivered. So far it has about a 1000 mi miles on it when we are only about 200 miles apart, could explain shipping costs.

Ordered again from F & T new order placed on Monday morning order delivered Tuesday at noon by FedEx exact same size order. Thanks F&T and FedEx.

I had a package once shipped to me from 4 MILES AWAY. By the time I got it it traveled over 400 miles. You can't make this stuff up. USPS just keeps getting worse and worse. And the prices keep going up and up.

USPS refused to deliver 3 boxes to me this week, all the same day. Said they were too large. BS! I have seen them deliver boxes that were way larger. Went to town this morning to pick them up. One of the carriers was (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) that she should be furnished a pickup for all the boxes she has to deliver, my thought was those boxes are what is keeping your overpaid (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) in business!

Maybe we can thank DOGE for the firing of experienced postal workers. At least the ones who could read a label and make timely deliveries.

My wife has her medications delivered by mail. Last summer, her heart medicine sat in the post office for 2-weeks. We live 2 blocks from the post office. Our mail carrier checked to see if it came in, took it from the post masters desk and delivered it to us. Now he makes sure she gets her meds and they don’t end up on someone’s desk or the dead letter box.

lol, really?

IMHO the po has not replaced retired personal instead going with automated systems that doesn't work while raising rates to pay for them It maybe only me but i've had faster delivery during the Christmas season when they hire additional personal on a temporary basis

He sure seems to be trying hard to blame the inefficiency of the USPS on DOGE. LOL

USPS was the bottom sludge before DOGE came along, and still are.

As the old employees retire, they're replaced with diversity hires, apparently as long as you're the right flavor, reading and an actual IQ isn't necessary

Top this! Ordered some coffee pods. Checked tracking this morning and they made it to the local post office. A half hour later they were on their way to Oklahoma!!! Omg you just can't make this stuff up !!

Gold teeth showed up again yesterday with another package.....different car .....left his reverse gear ( wife ) at home this time

Just read that on April 26 medium flat rate box from USPS goes up to $24.80. For what!!!!

Check this out. Shipped the morning of February 24th and delivered the afternoon of MARCH 23rd! I could have walked it there faster than that.

Saw on the news earlier that the UPS wants to implement an 8 per cent fuel surcharge on "certain" postal options. This won't effect first class postage prices. Thought they said it would start April 26th. G.

Can anyone tell me the difference between FedEx and USPS? ........................ One is government funded managed, one is not. I sent a package yesterday to my youngest daughter for her birthday. It traveled and was successfully delivered from a large town to a relatively small town 3.5 hrs away in less than 24 hours. ANYTHING mailed by USPS takes at least 3 days to cover the same distance.
