I ordered ten 30 ounce jars of grape jelly to use in my oriole feeders. I got a e-mail saying it was out for delivery. I went and checked last night after seeing it said it was delivered. No jelly delivered to me. It may have been delivered but where? I called this morning at 0830 and got a answering machine. I left a message and did not get a call back. I delivered two pieces of mail that were in my box last week two and a half miles SW to the owner. I cringe anytime something is shipped USPS.

I also cringe when the only option is USPS. Some vendors have started to take notice of their terrible track record and at least one I deal with has an “Anything But Postal” shipping option.


Eh...wot?

Since it had a tracking number the post office will be able to tell exactly where it was delivered. Whenever it is scanned delivered by the mail carrier their scanner records the gps location where the item was scanned delivered. An in person talk with the postmaster should help get to the bottom of the issue.

I was hoping they would call back, so I didn't have to drive into town. Since the started sorting the mail in Bismarck, the entire thing has been on a down hill slide. They bundle my mail with a rubber band in Bismarck and the carrier does not look at any thing but the top one. Some days I have more then one other persons mail. I have even got mail for other towns. Talk about a waste of tax dollars. I will drive in today and see what they say.

USPS is a giant waste of tax dollars. Poor performance has no repercussions within the bureaucracies unfortunately. I can order something from Wisconsin and have it here the very next day without “expediting via SpeeDee delivery. I use only private delivery carriers for all business products as I no longer can rely on the Post Office. If I mail a letter to the next town over, it will be at least 4 business days. That is a best case scenario, several times it never did find its way. LOL

Seems it's the USPS is getting worse, delivery person stops when he feels like it or when he feels there is enough mail to stop for. I have that informed delivery that lets you know whats coming that day, most times I will get todays mail two to four days later, called the post master, he said you can not go by the informed delivery info. who to believe.

My order got here today. Fed X. I can not figure out how it can say it was delivered the 26th at 02:10 PM by USPS, then show up Fed X on the morning of the 28th. I am just glad it came and that I was slow to drive to town to go to the post office.

Our post office has issues, says things have been delivered that have not. A week later we are filling out lost package stuff from the seller and a day or two later it shows up. It does get old.

To be fare we have also had a few issues with fed x and ups but not as many.

If you know what time your mailman comes by just be waiting on him / her. Simlpe question might fix it. They have the scanner in their truck . Let them look it up.
