USPS Delivery Woes -- Tracking History

[Downeast]

UPS or FedEx. They suck too but not as much as USPS. If it's not worth the cost then you probably don't need to send it. I've given up on the postal service and I no longer have any sympathy for anyone that uses them for important things. Last year I sent a certified letter with signature required and containing a check in the amount of $12,000.00. It hasn't been seen since. I had to go the bank and have the check voided. I then wrote another check, drove 30 miles to the nearest UPS store and it showed up where it was supposed too in 3 days and I was able to track it at every stop along the way. Lesson learned. We use the postal service for paying a few local bills, sending cards to relatives and so forth. Things you don't mind (at least not too much!) getting lost or destroyed.

I sold a very nice custom Rem 700 via my FFL to a very patient gentleman on this forum. Shipped Dec 10, showed left the hub Dec 14th and has been vaporware ever since. Filed a claim because you only have 60 days from shipment to do so. Sure hope it shows. More because it is a really great shooting rifle and want the buyer to have a chance to find out for himself. I offered to give him his money back but he's holding out so far. Last time I ever ship a firearm using the Postal Service.

Well, the rifle shows delivered. 45 days after shipment. Better late than never I guess...

I don't know what is going with them. I subscribed to their Informed delivery service where I get emails on mail to be delivered for that day even has pictures of the incoming mail.
had an order from Wolff springs out for delivery on 1-22, never showed up and status was delivery attempt, hold at post office by customer request, what BS I had 3 days mail show up 5-days past the delivery dates and only after contacting USPS. the biggest BS the box from Wolff had written hold for safety on the box!

I had a box of 30cal bullets that had been MIA for over 6 weeks show up yesterday, I guess they found it in California because it went missing in Missouri and showed up in Cali on Monday. I think the one of the biggest issues with the USPS is their tracking system sucks at best.

I sent a small flat rate box to pepper51 in Ohio. Was supposed to have been delivered on 2/3.
The last scan was in Greensboro NC on 1/30. ??????
Maybe it will show up somewhere, sometime.

Hopefully it turns out right. I know the feeling.

I sent a 1lb 6oz package from Georgia to Bismark ND by first class mail on Wednesday 2/3 and it got there early in the morning of Friday 2/5.

DHL doesn't use government employees or affirmative action!

Our previous mailman ( Bob) always provided-on time deliver (30 yrs. worth). He brought packages to my door, rang the bell n delivered personally with a smile. A sad day when Bob retired.
Now that DEI has kicked in, I am lucky to get mail everyday, if the package fits the mailbox I get it. If too big for the box, I get a note to come to the post office for pick- up. There has been a loss in “ pride in one’s work”.

Big Mc,

May be, but not as bad as the others.

YMMV,
