After decades of reliable local service, USPS deliveries are becoming erratic. Small shipments from China hit the local USPS distribution center then disappear for over a week. Where they go afterward is a crap shoot.
This times with the extra scrutiny being given to packages without the extra manpower that demands.
To combat the delays, I created a USPS login and I now file missing mail reports on every package from China, one day after it hits the local distro. That gets the packages delivered in a day instead of 10 or more.
I also had my first ebay shipment from Canada get hit with a customs hold but that was FedEx. For their part they had a expedited process and the shipment was moving again in a some hours.
- silisili 2y agoI'm convinced some are throwing things away. I have family in the midwest, from a city who made the news because of how backed up its USPS had become. Even intracity mail was taking 3 weeks to get delivered. The postmaster declined to respond. Magically, a week later, they claimed to be caught up and 'fixed.' I had two family members having sent me something in this time, and neither ever got delivered. I have informed delivery, and neither even showed up at my local PO. It's been over a month. They both resent, and both arrived within a few days.
