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

[Taghkanic]

Weird...I have a shipment arriving tomorrow that left NYC on Thursday morning. Even faster than UPS usually manage...3 working days, about 87 days faster than normal!

gl to the OP, I have found a post like yours usually gets things moving in the past... https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/missing-usps-package-help-please.73308/

Looks like I was the shipper on that one!

 

[TheChipVault]

PSA ... I will no longer purchase chips if USPS is being used for shipping.

Tracking says my chips were delivered to a P O. Box, which I don't have. ???

 

[suchj0sh]

Looked like they found my package from Iceland, only for it to go “in transit to next facility” for 2 days in my own fuckin city. Just bring it to my damn house you dodos!

 

[doublebooyah85]

My shits been stuck for weeks

Which is a real bummer but we're talking about mail here. Get yourself a laxative and sort it out.

I walked by the post office in Dedham, MA yesterday and saw a huge sign in the window that said SHIP EARLY TO AVOID DELAYS
I can understand a sign like that during the christmas season, but just every day year round? Weird.

What if however early you ship it’s still too late?

Probably not even worth shipping anymore. Just hang onto everything and tell people “it was never going to get there anyway, unless you’ve got a fucking TARDIS or something”.

It’s all so pointlessly hopeless.

@Cratty sent me something on Monday:

Hopefully it goes from KY to CA next!

I’m really starting to get pissed off at usps, why does this feel like the norm now….its insane…”we are constantly striving to improve our processing methods”. Bs, you’re focused on cutting cost just like every other conglomerate.

 

[TheOffalo]

Package going from CA to CT, went to Des Moines, IA, then to Warrandale, PA, then to White Plains, NY, then to Stamford, CT...

...then to West Fargo, ND.

That sucks! What kind of packaging were they originally in?

 

[Timmah]

This chip I ordered on eBay took a 14 day journey to get delivered from Kentucky to Indiana. Just one state away.

 

[EastCoastCali]

That sucks! What kind of packaging were they originally in?

Just some generic bags with a fair bit of bubble wrap and filler(non PCF shipper), but the box looked like it fell out the back of the truck 4 or 5 times.

Looks like it’s in its way to Portland Maine.

 

[EmptyPocs]

Yankees fan but would consider coming along for the afternoon out and the company if the dates work

one is still available

I can fill an entire page of anxiety detailing just the last month.
My fav is 2 chips I sent to NJ from NY that went down to FLA and back.

This week I am watching a package 'returned to sender' because it went to the wrong post office a few miles away.
I showed up there 2 hours after the tracking said error and it was too late.
By the time I get it it will have traveled more than 13,000 miles.

 

[buzzmonkey]

I bought some hoodies from a band website. They went from Missouri, to SLC, to Ohio, to NJ, to Portland, ME, to Shapleigh, ME and then back to Portland, ME for delivery. lol

 

[FordPickup92]

It's not just us....this is a business

 

[TheChipVault]

I don't understand why people continue to use USPS

 

[JMC9389]

I don't understand why people continue to use USPS

I'm at a point where if I'm selling a set of chips, I'd rather take a day trip and fly to the destination and back and do a hand delivery. Costs only a couple hundred more than shipping and insurance.

 

[Colquhoun]

I’m finding more and more vendors that I order online are shipping FedEx Ground.

 

[Jmanguy09]

Fedex ground or UPS is mainly how I receive. No one has used USPS for me. Luckily

 

[Felt_Lizard]

I don't understand why people continue to use USPS

You right. I have been lucky, but I do think my time has come to make that change....

 

[ekricket]

I don't understand why people continue to use USPS

lol for some if us it’s that or drive over an hour to get to a UPS or FedEx store.

I buy insurance most of the time anymore, just because I superstitiously think they treat them better if they are in the system like that instead of ordinary mail. I don’t think I could ever collect it in any case, but it makes me feel better.

 

[WedgeRock]

I sent two chips via US Mail for the cost of a forever stamp and a 2 oz/non-machinable surcharge.

Then again, these aren't high value chips, and I didn't charge the recipient. So if they go lost...

USPS still does some things right for chippers.

 

[Felt_Lizard]

11 days in, and it's made it BACK to the West Coast...
