It seems that with the new year, not only did the USPS get slower, they also became more inefficient. I've had packages that seemed to just go in circles between a few facilities until finally being delivered or ending up in a city that's hundreds of miles opposite the direction it should be going! One good-sized package was picked up by a mailman and there were no tracking scans for nearly a week and a half. It didn't even show they were in possession of it that whole time and it was a "Priority" package!
The only positive thing I can say is that every package I've sent or received has made it to the destination, eventually....so far.

The United States Post Office should be disbanded, all personal and facilities should be sold off the UPS and FedEx!

I agree, the post office is a joke. 11 days ago I placed an order with an internet dealer in Colorado, They sent me a tracking number the next day that showed the USPS received the package. Just got an update today from USPS and the package is now in Montana - supposed to be heading East towards Ohio, not North to Montana.....

Quote: The United States Post Office should be disbanded, all personal and facilities should be sold off the UPS and FedEx! Negative.  I may be an exception, but USPS is way more reliable (and cheaper) than UPS and FedEx for me.

Feel free to start that topic or poll.  Personally, I am good. I know the USPS is not going away or being privatized any time soon.

i have been having a nightmare with the USPS. This is an actual tracking history from a package that I sent. I had to deal with an annoyed buyer contacting me several times and requesting a refund while their item was still on the way. I had many similar examples, but this may be the worst. ----------------------------------- January 21, 2021, 12:45 pm Delivered, Parcel Locker ENERGY, TX 76452 Your item was delivered to a parcel locker at 12:45 pm on January 21, 2021 in ENERGY, TX 76452. ----------------------------------- January 21, 2021, 12:29 pm Arrived at Post Office ENERGY, TX 76452 ----------------------------------- January 20, 2021, 9:30 pm Departed USPS Regional Facility FORT WORTH TX DISTRIBUTION CENTER ----------------------------------- January 19, 2021, 7:03 pm Arrived at USPS Regional Facility FORT WORTH TX DISTRIBUTION CENTER ----------------------------------- January 19, 2021, 6:19 pm Departed USPS Facility IRVING, TX 75059 ----------------------------------- January 19, 2021, 4:56 pm Arrived at USPS Facility IRVING, TX 75059 ----------------------------------- January 19, 2021, 5:18 am Departed USPS Regional Facility OMAHA NE DISTRIBUTION CENTER ----------------------------------- January 18, 2021 In Transit to Next Facility ----------------------------------- January 17, 2021, 7:09 pm Arrived at USPS Regional Facility OMAHA NE DISTRIBUTION CENTER ----------------------------------- January 16, 2021, 9:22 am Departed USPS Regional Facility DENVER CO DISTRIBUTION CENTER ----------------------------------- January 16, 2021, 9:21 am Arrived at USPS Regional Facility DENVER CO DISTRIBUTION CENTER ----------------------------------- January 13, 2021, 7:04 pm Departed USPS Regional Origin Facility DETROIT MI NETWORK DISTRIBUTION CENTER ----------------------------------- January 12, 2021, 12:19 pm Arrived at USPS Regional Origin Facility DETROIT MI NETWORK DISTRIBUTION CENTER ----------------------------------- December 28, 2020, 2:29 am Arrived at USPS Regional Origin Facility DETROIT MI DISTRIBUTION CENTER ----------------------------------- December 24, 2020, 3:27 am Arrived at USPS Regional Facility FORT WORTH TX DISTRIBUTION CENTER ----------------------------------- December 24, 2020, 2:39 am Departed USPS Facility IRVING, TX 75059 ----------------------------------- December 23, 2020, 11:06 pm Arrived at USPS Facility IRVING, TX 75059 ----------------------------------- December 23, 2020, 1:59 am Arrived at USPS Regional Facility GRAND RAPIDS MI DISTRIBUTION CENTER ANNEX ----------------------------------- December 23, 2020, 12:55 am Departed USPS Regional Facility GRAND RAPIDS MI DISTRIBUTION CENTER ANNEX ----------------------------------- December 17, 2020, 12:52 am Arrived at USPS Regional Origin Facility DETROIT MI DISTRIBUTION CENTER ----------------------------------- December 16, 2020, 11:37 pm Accepted at USPS Origin Facility SOUTHFIELD, MI 48075 ----------------------------------- December 11, 2020, 11:12 am Shipping Label Created, USPS Awaiting Item SOUTHFIELD, MI 48075

C'mon MOSman, the USPS was only in shambles before, now (for some reason  ) It's running like a fine oiled machine

Quote:Let me know how that works out for you.  Well, it's actually working out for me pretty good now. My relationship with the USPS is as limited as I can make it. I only really get low priority junk thru the mail anyway. Advertisements, junk mail and Christmas cards. All my important stuff is on-line. The USPS is "not" efficient. It's hemorrhaging money! How much of "your" tax dollars has it lost?.... Don't answer that. Quote:C'mon MOSman, the USPS was only in shambles before, now (for some reason  ) It's running like a fine oiled machine  I guess you're right. It can't get any worse, it can only get better.
