USPS Rant

[PuffTheMagicDragon]

A postcard from Orlando - postmarked 31 January. This arrived in my mailbox today, 14 March.

I've been waiting three weeks for small piece parts - sent USPS.
I'm paying my CC online now, because USPS cannot seem to get 1st class letter mail to them in under three weeks.

Even bills are late.

This sounds like my HOA emails

Yep. I ship out hundreds of items each week, and I can tell you first hand the USPS has been crap for several years, however the past few months they've really turned to shit. Now they're scanning items as delivered when they're not. How do I know? They show up a few days later after being scanned as delivered. Very shady.

Same here. I used to get very concerned when this happened. Now I just wait it out. It’s really shitty that this has become the acceptable norm…

My mail carrier just retired - he was great - old school like he would put things behind my side yard gate if he knew I wasn't home and leave a note for me in my mailbox.

He told me a few years ago that things were getting bad because they were having a hell of a time finding people to fill positions... Young people would start working and leave after a month when they realized that they had to do actual hard work.

Unfortunately, I see these attitudes pop up with kids at school too...
