USPS....

[fjk]

I too have had bad experiences with USPS. I'm waiting on a cue now that's been "In Transit to Next Facility, Arriving Late". It's been "in transit" now for three days.

Last week I picked up my insured express package with a hole in it the size of a big fist. I could see the shafts through the bubble wrap. Luckily the bubble wrap held up so there was no damage.

A few years ago, I bought a cue that somehow got lost. How could they lose an insured package THREE FEET LONG? Months later it just showed up.

From my experience, it looks like something going wrong with USPS shipping an oversized box is 50/50. I'm not going to use them anymore.

I love the "in transit arriving late" moniker.
Been on every package coming or going for the past year.

I just received an email from my waste hauler, trash provider, stating that due to frequent issues regarding problems with postal service, they are getting a PO box at a local for profit mailing center.
Wow!! A public utility having to go this route!!
Maybe it will turn heads around here, but I doubt it, since they had to take action like this.
New normal??

Wow, sad for sure. I can recall a time when there were few things more dependable than the U.S. Postal Service. Time they are a changing.

PS: my package has now been in transit to the next facility for 5 days. How is that even possible?

The big jet lost bearings and couldn't find the runway again.
The small jet carrying same day priority is still trapped on the tarmac and wandering aimlessly.

I've had packages lost 'in the network' for many weeks. It's been this way for over a year.

Too funny!!

Good thing the landing pilot saw the thing. Prolly had his eye on it.

Maybe wouldn't be joking about that had those two jets collided and someone you know was a passenger on one of them. There is something seriously wrong going on with aviation in the US right now.

Get a load of this shit
Some of ups’s finest work I’ve seen

Oh, it’s insured for 500
Lemme take a look

Pure miracle the cue got to the owner

USPS has been terrible lately.

I'm on my 3rd package as of late that was sent priority mail that once it leaves the post office goes MIA. No scans, no locations, just continuously says in transit and late arrival.

My last package took 2 weeks, zero updates, then one morning pops up as out for delivery....

I am in the middle of dealing with one now. It's sitting at the destination PO for almost two weeks according to the tracking.

2 weeks seems to be the timeline as of late. make sure you go on usps and fill out a missing mail search. It seems to kickstart things that are stuck in transit

Thanks. The seller is pursuing it today. I will likely do that as well myself today. I think today is 2 weeks IIRC.
