Not sure if this is due to layoffs/cuts, or what, but I have 3 packages en route that are stuck in the "Moving Through Network" tracking wormhole and moving all over the country...

@Himewad Looks like we're not the only ones...

LOL yup. Somehow the package I sent from Iowa to New Jersey decided to take a spring break trip to Puerto Rico. I've seen plenty of packages fall off the radar for a while, but I've never seen a package sign up for a Caribbean Cruise.

I was going to say "Hey send me to the Caribbean!" but honestly, I'd hate to end up in Jersey on accident or on purpose....
 
At least you are getting updates. I’ve have several USPS items that just disappeared from the system only to arrive months later.

Seems like it may be occuring at scale. How does that even happen...? The vast majority of the operation is automated.
 
I read somewhere that a lot of the automated mail sorting equipment had been taken out of service 2-4 years ago, and there was a wave of... unnecessary?....human hiring.

Theft inside USPS has also EXPLODED.

I had a $2800 camera lens disappear in transit Dec.2024. UPS bro literally handed me an empty box. lol (I can laugh now)

Fortunately, I was able to get it replaced. Although that was UPS/Amazon. Pretty sure there were even news reports at the time about holiday Amazon/package theft rings.

You're off the list! I'd also hate to end up in SOME of Jersey. But we are still the garden state.
