They aren't already?
I've seen USPS tracking be very misleading, with Expected Delivery by 8:00PM...and the next day the same status, until finally you see Out for Delivery, which is the day it will actually arrive.
Between the terrible tracking, and the occasional goofy routing detours, USPS is doing themselves no favors.
- magicnubs 6y agoThree times in the past year, I've had packages marked as "Delivered at/in mailbox" that weren't actually delivered until 2-3 days later. The most recent was particularly worrying, since it contained my new passport (which I'd already been waiting on for 5 months since passport processing had mostly been shut down due to COVID). This was at different addresses, with different local USPS destination facilities. It seems they're aware that it's an issue, since it says in their FAQ "package may show as 'delivered' but could take additional 24 hours". I assume it happens when they get behind somehow and just mark a lot of stuff delivered to meet their metrics.
