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

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.

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.

CONUS shipping ain’t what it used to be.

Your mail is delivered to your door? Some people have all the luck.

DHL messed it up for a package from Germany to the US recently: It got sent to Canada, went back to Germany and then made it’s way to the US destination just like nothing had happened

Hey USPS, I'm over here on the LEFT coast! I don't think you're gonna meet your ETA there...
(I did reconfirm with the seller that I have the correct tracking number for my order.)

Soooo...it got to St Louis and evaporated apparently. Sounds very similar to Omaha.

Sitting Out
Had an international package at a distribution warehouse thirty minutes from my house and the next day it was in Arizona. Crazy times

USPS could be melting down in multiple ways. Yesterday they charged my credit cards *four times* for the same $153 shipping of two MFRBs. Not a happy camper, will be camping out at my local PO tomorrow...
Here’s one of many shit shows I’ve dealt with in the past few months with USPS.
A client sent me a large check. For whatever reason, he sent it certified mail, which meant I had to be here to sign for it. As it happens, I was, however there was a large thunderstorm that day and the new carrier didn’t want to get wet, I suppose. So, he claimed no one was home and left a notice in my box. When I tried to pick it up at the post office the next day, after filling out there forms online to allow me to do so, it wasn’t there. No one could find it. They gave me the same “in the system” line and apologized, but it never showed up. Two weeks later, checking daily with the local post office mind you, no one could answer what had happened to the certified mail.
Finally, somewhere in week 3 my client calls to announce the package had been delivered back to him.

Had that happen last week with a certified letter…I’m home, no ring on the doorbell, USPS carrier just leaves a note “We missed you”.
Lazy.
Same shit happened me yesterday. Nice they are getting paid being that lazy.
I had this happen recently with a non-chip (but valuable) USPS package.
Shipped from a vendor an hour east of me.
Went to another post office an hour west of me.
Sat there a few days, then went to a big distribution center 1.5 hours south of me.
Back to the one north of me for a few days.
Then it made a leap two states east of me, another big distribution center… 3.5 hours away. Sat there a few more days.
At this point I put in a complaint with both the shipper and the USPS. Hard to tell if either one got the word.
But the next day it got to my local P.O. and was delivered the next day.
Had I known that this would happen, I would have just driven an hour to the shipper. The bouncing around added hundreds of unnecessary miles to the trip.
