USPS Delivery Issues and Delays

Check came priority mail from a customer, 26 days, Indiana to Iowa. Scope took 2 days to get to customer.

If you've seen the cheap stamps advertised on the internet I was told by a guy at the USPS that they are fake and printed offshore. Good fakes too. Half price I think. So WTF is going on with our country not pursuing this illegal operation? It's like counterfeit money, and is costing the USPS lots of money.

The way to fix this is to go after the people buying them. Just like I have been saying for 50 years, Go after the employers who are employing Illegal aliens and you won't have that problem anymore, But too many folks in Congress have them cutting their lawns.
 
Ordered a new trigger from NSS. They use"Stamps.com"

Due here yesterday. Today tracking shows it Left St Paul, went back Minneapolis, and just arrived back at St Paul for the 2nd time. I guess I won't make this weekend's match.
 
Dealer sent me some stuff to work on going from Tampa to central Kentucky, left Tampa and went to Puerto Rico, spent two weeks there then another week after that it showed up. Postmaster told me they're reworking a bunch of the distribution centers and haven't quite got it sorted out yet, several are a month behind on deliveries.
 
Ordered parts from Numerich shipped Feb 18 to be delivered to Falls City Texas. After a brief detour to Del Rio Texas, is now out for delivery here, eight days not counting Sunday. Sent PRIORITY. I hope I'm not just getting an empty package as the parts are small. I will advise. Help me out and keep your fingers crossed.;):rolleyes:
all the parts were there and I managed to get that Winchester Model 1890 pump .22 short up and running again.
 
I live 3mi outside of a small town in eastern WA and get rural delivery. No residential delivery for anyone in town (pop <300) so everyone inside town boundary has a PO box. If I mail a letter to a town resident, it gets picked up here, goes to PO in town, then to mail processing center in Spokane, then back to town hopefully by next day - not.

Mail boxes aren't 10' from the counter and we used to have an in town drop slot but USPS killed that years ago. Job security for mail processing center employees.

Mailed a check to a member Jan 19th, he has informed delivery and PM'd me it was out for delivery Jan 24th, except it never showed up. On Feb 12th I mailed another check via Priority Mail, was received Feb 14th, he shipped my brass and it arrived here Feb 18th. The first check still has not arrived.

Shame I can't charge USPS the $30 stop pay fee...
Letter finally arrived yesterday, Jan 19th to Mar 4th for 1st class mail WA to NJ - unbelievable. :rolleyes:
Member shredded it as requested.
 
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!
 
Two USPS Ground Advantage packages sent on 03/06 are still trying to figure out how to make it to their final destination. One of them has gone past their destination town 3 TIMES in the last couple of days.

Don't even get me started on the package I sent from TX to FL that ended up going to GUAM a few months ago!

This almost seems intentional....
 
Once a package passes the claim window, file a claim. Not a missing mail request but a claim. That usually makes it show up in my experience. Worked 3 times so far.
