Is USPS in total meltdown? *A NOTICE TO SHIPPERS* (1 Viewer)

[dizzyChipper]

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.

It made it to Jersey!

I've historically had good luck with USPS (knock on wood), but it does seem like lately every package is at least 2-3 days later than expected.

Yeah. Complete shitshow. This was my adventure with @LiveCashGuy ...

3 weeks after what should have been a 3 day trip, I put in a Missing Mail Search Request, and it gets delivered the next day.

My current nightmare with them. 2 racks sent from Texas on 3/12/25 to Missouri, may 3-5 days typically. 19 days later this package has been sitting|stuck in the USPS black hole known as the Kansas City MO distribution center. Hopeful this resurfaces back on the grid in the next week or so.

We are fine with the winning, what we are sick of is the whining, but when that’s all you got..

I don’t see him stopping the whining anytime soon. It’s been his life’s work.

???? Is this a political post? Pretty much against the TOS if it is. There’s a place for that and it’s not here.

Right around the time the USPS got rid of First Class for Ground Advantage, they said they were also streamlining the routes to different hubs.
Ever since then, packages sent to me have had some really wild trips.

Over the last 4-6wks it feels like things have went to shit. Currently on my 3rd package in this time frame that it has disappeared for an extended (up to two weeks) period "moving thru network". Getting old fast.

I ship out a lot of packages. I have seen those “moving through network” status indicators for a long time. Not just a new thing in my world. Frustrating when it happens though.

In other news, Tina shipped me some chips on Sunday AM and DHL had them in my hands by noon today (Tuesday).

Maybe I am just old, or used to the instant nature of… everything. But I still marvel at express shipping from the other side of the globe.

CONUS shipping ain’t what it used to be.
