I've seen USPS vehicles delivering Amazon packages on Sunday.  I think they are contractors, not USPS employees.

Saw it this morning and it was my normal USPS delivery person. Who knows?

And they're driving trucks from the early 70's. If that's what we can see, can you imagine the (lack of) automation behind the scenes.

With 20 years worth of military service and another 20 of Federal, I can tell you one thing, the government is not in the business of making money, and the USPS is no exception.

The Tri-Cities area of Washington (Pasco, Richland, Kennewick) has a population of about 250K.  Each city has it's own post office.  If I mail a letter in Richland to another Richland address, it stays in the Richland area postal system; delivered next day.  If I mail that letter to Pasco, it goes to Spokane (population 360K) 150 miles away to the regional mail facility, then to Pasco.  So, 3 days to go 3 miles.  We had a regional mail facility, but it was closed several years ago.

Well, the vintage set I was waiting on arrived Friday. Shipped Priority Mail Dec. 1st. 18 days to arrive. It must have traveled via stagecoach.

Now just waiting on a wedge shipped Dec. 10 from Colorado to California via Priority Mail. I’m expecting it to arrive sometime in early 2021.

I work at a state funded University and it blows my mind at the money wasted, but we can furlough people due to Covid in a blink of an eye.

Nothing pertaining to the Government is interested in saving or cutting budgets. They don't know what that is!

Well, I suppose there's been a lot of this going on lately. I had a package that was scheduled to be delivered on 12/18. I know they are covered up, but what up sets me is they have not even updated the status of the package in 5 days.

It's not just USPS. I ordered a tv from Walmart that was supposed to be delivered by Pilot Trucking on the 4th. It sat at the Pilot terminal for a whole week before it was delivered on the 9th. FYI the Pilot terminal is only 20 min away.

Actually, I have had pretty good delivery service from USPS, UPS and FedEx over the past month or so.  I've had a lot of Amazon deliveries that were delivered on time or a day early.  A few were late, but it was always Amazon's fault; e.g., I ordered on Monday; Amazon gave me a Friday arrival date; but didn't start the shipment until Thursday... arrived on Tuesday.

It's been hit or miss for stuff coming here.  I've been waiting on two job checks that were USPS mailed on 12/7 & 12/9 and still haven't arrived.  But on the flip side a Christmas card mailed from MS got here in 5 days.  I have had good luck with UPS on my Christmas shopping, everything got here quickly and nothing is yet to be delivered.  A pharmacy order I put in on Monday arrived today via UPS from NC.  

I had a real bad work experience with a UPS shipment summer of '19.  4 pallets worth of stuff worth about $100k.  I had pictures from the customer when they refused delivery and it looked like some stuff could be salvaged.  I went to the UPS freight depot in Newark, DE to look at the damage and about 1/2 could be saved.   It looked like they played forklift soccer with some of the pallets and stuff that had been knocked off them.  I asked if the truck driver survived the accident and they gave me a blank look and said there wasn't any accident.....they never got the sarcasm!  😳  

So I crated the salvageable stuff and shipped it to the customer, who then sent it along to their end customer with the rest of the system via UPS.....and when it got to their end customer the same type damage was done to that stuff too.  So it ended up being a complete loss and took 12 weeks to replace.

The USPS is a government service, not a business.   

Nobody says the US Military lost $700 Billion last year.

I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday season!

According to the NORAD Santa tracker he has deliver 3,700,000,000 gifts as of 5:25 EST on Christmas Eve and Santa’s route is extremely inefficient. Yet the USPS cannot get me a package from roughly 2 hours away to my home is 19 days. Point is they need to get with Santa and figure things out.

I had to send a inquiry to the Postal service yesterday about the side nets I ordered for my hitting net. They shipped on the 21st and the last update I see on tracking is the 27th from Des Moines. Hopefully they didn't get lost, but I'm beginning to wonder.

I have done that a couple times in the past, when one item from MD to MI took 20 days using First Class Mail with tracking information, and another 2 Day Priority item took 13 days to arrive. Here the biggest obstacle is the local sorting facility in Romulus, Mi (Detroit area) where they are extremely short staffed due to Covid, and it is NOT unusual for a letter or package to be delayed or not processed for a week or longer..................

 

Your local post office will call to provide an update within 48 hours, so hoping that you get some good news 👍

That's good to hear. I feel so bad for the people that are having to work there, especially this time of year.

That's crazy! Hopefully they'll arrive soon. My mother-in-law was telling me her sister sent her a card with money in it about two weeks ago and it hasn't gotten here.

A Christmas card sent to a friend in the next town over, 7 miles away, on Dec 11 just got there this past Saturday, Jan 2.  Even though the towns are that close, mail that is not in the same zip code goes to Baltimore for sorting.  In the not so distant past it would still only take 2 days to get delivered.

We still write checks and mail most of our bills so I am expecting a lot of missing payments and late charges to call about in the coming months.  I just hate linking our bank account to places that get hacked all too frequently.

You lose enough of those "cash" gift cards in the mail, and you'll discover EFTs and Paypal/Venmo, whatever.  My grandfather used to send me $20 in cash every birthday and Christmas.  He died in 2005, and that's about the time everyone should have stopped doing that.

I've been banking electronically and online for many many years, and I have yet to have an issue.  But I guess if you get hit with enough late charges, and have to spend too much of your time on the phone arguing with people who don't really care about you, you'll decide to switch to an electronic and automated means of bill payment.  Frankly, I trust the USPS less with delivering a payment then I would with sending it electronically over the internet.

Our oldest daughter is trying to establish some credit, so she applied for a credit card through her bank. It didn't show up, so she called and they cancelled the card and sent a new one. Sure enough, the original card showed up the day after she called. She still has not received the new card (about 3 weeks later), even though her first statement arrived Saturday.

Beyond the USPS being slow through the holidays, etc, I'm thoroughly convinced that 75% of the working population takes at least 1 week off in the last two weeks of December.  And 50% probably take both weeks.

It's like Christmas music on the radio when I was growing up.  First it was just on Christmas Eve, then it played the week before Christmas.  Now we aren't even done with Halloween and they are airing Christmas movies on Hallmark, and then they play them again to have "Christmas in July."

The same with vacations and days off.  I imagine we'll just get to the point where we'll only have a 4 day work week, and just shut the country down from December 20th through the end of the year.

I checked again today and saw movement on my order. It arrived in Atlanta this morning at 4. Progress! 

My main concern was it being lost in the mail, so at least I know it's still out there and should arrive within a fortnight.

You lose enough of those "cash" gift cards in the mail, and you'll discover EFTs and Paypal/Venmo, whatever.  My grandfather used to send me $20 in cash every birthday and Christmas.  He died in 2005, and that's about the time everyone should have stopped doing that.

I agree with you 100%. My mother-in-law is the youngest of her siblings at 60 and I believe her sister is just used to doing things a certain way and not the most internet savvy. 

Funny story, my mom used to have a friend that had just gotten a laptop. She came to the house one day and realized she needed to check her email and was sad she couldn't do it there. I asked her why and her response was "my email is on my computer and I can only check it there".

They are catching up.....I think?!?!?!  We got two Christmas cards in the mail yesterday, one from Tampa, FL postmarked 12/21 and one from PA postmarked 12/28.  Friends texted they received our card yesterday too, postmarked Baltimore, MD 12/23, I mailed that one on 12/12.  😳

Don't get me started on Christmas movie/ music and Hallmark Channel. My wife watches those movies from the beginning of October through early January . Hallmark Chanel has ruined Christmas for me.

Oh, am I in the same boat. My wife watches them constantly. What’s worse is her sister does the same thing, and they spend time every night talking on their Amazon devices getting excited for the “new one.”

Fortunately I get to go in the bedroom and watch what I want undisturbed.
