I know that this topic has been beaten to death. I have not received many packages and letters or the past years. A few years ago the USPS decided to try to be like UPS and built giant service centers in a few major cities. Well I live in GA ant there is on of these centers at the Atlanta Airport. All mail and packages in the South East get sent to the Atlanta Center for distribution to one of the other Giant Service Centers. Well now for over three weeks I have three packages that are being sent to me are LOST. When doing the tracking the Package gets to the Atlanta Center from anywhere in the US. After Atlanta it shows out in transit to another location. The it shows my package not coning to me in a GA Town, it is sent back to a TX service center for delivery after that the tracking goes DARK. I went to the Post Office and asked why my package was in Atlanta and not sent to me but back to TX Service Center. The PO person said they can't track it. WHAT!!!
It is time to shut the USPS Down and have it go to a Private company.
It is not like I can tell a company that they can't use USPS and need to use UPS or FedX. From now on I won't buy anything off of LRH unless they use UPS or FedX.
We have Bullets, Barrels, and a special Harnes we ordered for our Dog that was going into HEAT. That was over three weeks ago and our Cassie came in Heat 10 days ago.
I am beyond being upset and nothing can be done!!!!

I spoke with our regular USPS Delivery person and he told me that the people that they have hired and hiring are the laziest and no morals. If they don't want to work or deliver packages they slap a undeliverable label on the package and it goes to a storage center, then those packages get rooted through never to be seen again. I sent a Get-Well card to a neighbor that's three miles away. He never received it and I received it back with an "Undeliverable" sticker on it. My neighbor lives on a dead-end road and he told me that half his mail never arrives, is left on the ground at the beginning of his road, or put in other people's mail box close to his road.
DOGE the USPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
The reason the USPS is a mess is because its run by a corporate CEO puppet and it's been politicized and under assault for years. If politicians would have left it alone and everyone understood that it's an invaluable public service, not a for-profit business that puts the bottom line ahead of customers, it would be fine. The rich elite puppet masters want the USPS to fail so that they can one, take profit, and two, take control. Same goes for public news, education and all our other institutions.
 
What i do is decide which carrier is better at getting me my orders. I then request it be sent that way and most will do that. Some probably don't offer other than 1 carrier due to getting the best deal from them?
 
Just one example of incompetence. My package was in GA twice and sent to TX twice and was in GA yesterday and then they sent back to TX. We live in GA. Our package was Atlanta then Palmetto, GA now back to Coppell, TX where it was shipped to Atlanta. Have two other packages that just stopped in transit two weeks ago and no update.

I ship almost everything out USPS Priority Mail, which should deliver in 2-3 days. Usually, it's hit and miss, but it's more likely to deliver later than expected. I received a check from a LRH buyer the other day. It was postmarked 10 days before it arrived. That's first class mail! ????????

Are you aware how long the postal service has been losing their ***? Decades. Billions of $ for years. **** poor management decisions. **** poor labor agreements. Horrible business model. Not a snowballs chance to break even. They're poor service is driving would be customers to other services, shooting themsves in the foot. There's no local mail sorting anymore in rural areas adding to time in transit.
 
USPS worker steels $1.6 million from customers. Like I posted for the past few years about the USPS and workers. I was told by a USPS Delivery person about all the stealing going on and packages being labeled undeliverable, put in storage and then stolen.

Sure. I think it was around 2006 the last time they broke even.

I think the horses are already out of the barn and the USPS should just stop trying to compete in parcel delivery that doesn't fit in a standard mailbox. Modernize, scale down, and prepare for a reduction of junk mail volume. USPS should focus on old school print communication rather than daily Chinese junk delivery.
 
I used to kind of defend the USPS due to relative low cost to send items/mail as I live in the middle of nowhere. But it has turned into a complete dumpster fire, I currently have a barrel that I sent to be threaded officially lost as of yesterday and three packages that are in the wind somewhere - "moving through network" for over a week, last know location about 45 mi from me.

This happened last month.

I ordered a March scope from Japan, shipped EMS. USPS Tracking says it was out for delivery. I was working in the garage when I saw the USPS vehicle approached. I walked out to get the mail. He handed me the mail. Just that, the envelopes.

I asked the person where is the box from Japan. He played... so innocent said, I was going to take it back for pick up....I replied, how would I know I have a package to pick up. You did not post a notice on my door. Then, I followed, there is the box right there, why don't you just scan it and give it to me?

He said, I can do that. I got somewhat irritated by then. What do you mean, you can do that? Aren't you suppose to get off your truck and deliver or paste a notice that I have a package to pick up. You didn't do either.

With a half smile, he scanned, and handed me the package, which contained >2K worth of scope.

Had I not been there, I wonder where would the box end up.
