Recent USPS Delays..When Did They Start?

[D Coots]

I sold well over a hundred items from my friend Keith's estate. Started shipping items in June. Most USPS due to flat rate shipping prices. I did not have any problems at all until the last couple of months.

My Sister was postmaster in St Charles, Missouri when Obama went into office. Around 350 employees. She had to have people from higher up come in and force some "folks" to work. They seemed to think they didn't have to do their jobs anymore.

Just wondering when everyone's shipping problems started recently????

Trying not to make this political.

It's been a S**T Show for the last 6 months here in NC with any package coming from the West/Midwest part of the country. I have started choosing UPS for anything I order or ship. I am still waiting on a shipment of Vapor Trail bullets that Tom sent out on March 4th. They were "lost in transit" for 11 days! Hope they sell that failed government program off to the highest bidder and make it a private business!

I noticed that priority mail with usps has went from 1-2days to 3-4days or more...I sent a package from GA to KY that took 7 days priority mail...ridiculous

We have a check on the way to Virginia from N. Florida. Priority mail sent Saturday. As of right now on Wednesday morning it is in West Palm Beach Florida over 300 miles south of me.

I have a package that has been sitting in Indiana for the last 5 days without any movement.

I sent a package out a week ago, been missing every since until last night, when it got scanned in 2 hours away.

I have 3 going on 2 weeks, 2 out bound and 1 inbound. Something happened recently. It has been "OK" for a while. 2 weeks to TN from PA is just stupid.

It's been at least 3 years. Maybe more. It just keeps getting worse.

It's not recent Dave. It's been going downhill for several years.

I sent a check to a member on here over 2 weeks ago. Still not arrived. USPS says it’s probably lost. 2nd check is on its way and I’m crossing my fingers. With usps money orders I’m a little worried the process to try getting that check cancelled.

The last 60 days have been rough here, the hubs apparently cannot get people to come to work, this last two weeks Sara has spent at least a hour each morning , checking on packages.

They are making it , but what used to be 3 or 4 days is weeks at the moment

I shipped a so called "Ground Advantage" 2 oz. package to a fellow in Jonesboro, Tn. on 2/28/25.
Stuck "in transit" in Charlotte NC still today. "Moving to next facility" it says. Over $4 to ship one small package! Me thinks it's toast!

I had a package bouncing around in Indianapolis for 7 weeks. I sold 2 different rifles that took 6 weeks each. I ship almost daily and these problems started about a year ago for me. Don't pay for priority anymore as it is a complete joke.

USPS lost a check I sent to a member for payment, I had to se send as Priority mail. They suck

 

[Dgd6mm]

Do check just it lost, or do they get stolen from within?

Do check just it lost, or do they get stolen from within?

There's no way of knowing that...
