Usps.....unbelievable

My brown box in Indianapolis “left” at 1:23 this morning, but got revised to 1:12 this afternoon. Then they seized the opportunity to blame the snow storm in New York. As everyone knows, the upper Northeast lies between Indianapolis and Ohio..View attachment 533344
Dude with information like that I don't even want to look at my freaking tracking right now🤣🤣🤣🤣
 
I just received an air rifle, from a member in Hawaii. It was shipped via PirateShip/USPS. looking at the time the post office there got it an time I got it, it took six days from there to E.Texas. USPS tracking estimated delivery on Feb 3, but I received it on Jan 24. From the seller, initial USPS rate was over $100 to ship, he got a friend who had a Pirate ship to print label, and paid him. Shipping that way for a 20lb package was $42..

Not know how routing is from there, I thought with all those fires around the Los Angeles area it might be delayed.

I have had small packages from Europe held up in Chicago customs for over a week, If they go through New York, fast.

Truth, not politics, think about it. From my local mail delivery or lack there of, to close 30 days to deliver a package that FED Ex delivered in less than 3 days. It's a failed operation that if it was private would be out of business . Criticizing it is not politics unless you use that as an excuse.
specifically directed at your "DEI" comment.
 
Even First Class mail is having issues and is the reason I'm no longer sending orings first class.

Over the holidays, they lost 5 envelopes, 5 times I had to duplicate the orders, leaving customers angry.

Tracking at least gives hope, it helps keep the customer from directing thier outrage at the seller.

USPS does work for me. Priority mail boxes have been great for items that fit , regardless of weight. My most worrisome thing shipped has been decent guitars . Gave up on ups for that. Always got there with no complaints. It s even at least 10 $2k guitars. I’ve watched FedEx throw a box out of truck to neighbors house. I then got an email saying my package , a vintage turntable has been delivered. I retrieved and was marveling at the sellers packaging upon opening. That is until I saw the dust cover was broken. Not a real expensive item and seller said he would refund and to keep it . This wasn’t his fault I’m sure, told him no. That FedEx driver lasted about 2 weeks. I’m in a small cul de sac and observed him at times , man talk about a lazy pos . D as in dumb, E as in educate , I as in indoctrinate
 
My biggest complaint is with UPS. If I follow their tracking it gives a delivery date. Now if it arrives in the local distribution center, in my case Tyler Tx, 3 days early, say on a Monday, then they will hold it there until that estimated deliver date has arrived, Never been able to get an answer as to why.

During the holiday season, I will often get a message from UPS saying delivery could not be completed because no one available to receive package. Strange in that no signature was required, and I had been sitting at home literally ten feet from the front door where it should be delivered. Never heard a delivery truck outside. We all know it was getting late and driver just did not want to come out here for one or two deliveries.
