USPS Delivery Issues and Delays

[Poor Shot 65]

Ugh, got a Seb rest stuck "moving through network" right now for the past 6 days. Went from NM to TX and got stuck. I'm in CA. Keeping fingers crossed!

Why would anyone send an item of that value through USPS ? Not very smart if you ask me. Any thing more than $100 automatically goes through UPS full insured.

I wish Trump could privative the USPS.. Only way to save it. They could charge 1.00 per stamp and still find way to lose money....... Why does every little town have a post office...... Why Sunday delivery???

14 pages of complaints. And no solutions so who is part of the problems.
I think this thread has run it course.

I see in my news feeds that 10,000 jobs are going to be cut, primarily through forced retirement.
If you think it WAS bad ......

God help us.

I figure that's been the plan for decades now. Be careful what you wish for.

In my experience, Sunday deliveries are Amazon.
Ever notice how Amazon packages almost always arrive on time? Hmmmm.

Filing the claim is responsibility of the shipper, unless it was sent prepaid on consignee account. Whoever pays shipping files the claim. Short of an attorney USPS is hopeless!

It keeps on!
I had a package that was shipped from Preston, IA. It took 8 days to go from Preston to Des Moines, IA, about a 3 hr. Drive. Didn’t help that it made a detour trip to MN.
In still waiting on it here in SC. Tracking says “on the way, arriving late”!

Things were never perfect but better than ups. When trump appointed dejoy as pmg things turned into a complete cluster.
