Off topic: But it could be worse. A USPS employee could be running things

[Diddy_KellOfBabyOil]

So I owe someone who doesn't visit this board an apology. I'm sorry you have done an amazing job here. Best of luck with your retirement next year.

Orders package on 1/3. On 1/6 it was full filled and sent to local office of the business's ordered from. Got a arrival date of 1/13 too.

Package did not arrive in 1/13. Last package i had ordered from usps came a day late, so I waited patiently. Did not arrive on 1/or or 1/15. Went to main post office five mins away. Not only will they not find your package and give it to you when they're wrong or the problem. But they send it to another "local" post office? Today's update is it's still tracking through local facility. Again main one 5 mins away i literally don't know of another one closer to me and I grew up down here.

Here's the kicker. They claim 50 ppl called out three days bc of snow. What???? How old are your employees 12? Ii grew up in Southern Mo, it used to snow a whole lot more. [shirt] never shut down jobs didn't close school wouldn't be out, people didn't call it from work. I remember after a real snowstorm as a childm seeing the mailman come to my small town and drive down my street just fine on roads that would be 8 inches thick of compacted snow and and re-freeze from melting.

What are we doing? Why is everyone soft and sheltered? Why doesn't anyone have to face and overcome adversity anymore?

Also thanks a lot gen Z and millinials who had children especially in the late 90s and 2000s. All of this is your fault. We may have been outside but when it came to parenting your let your kids do whatever. Then when you got some position of authority you decided to baby proof the world for everyone.

Anyway here's the kicker. Despite the snow and all, had I paid for express shipping they say it would've got to me on time no matter what. Yet when it's late and I come to get my package you can't remove it from the back I guess because you'd have to find it in the facility?

Apparently not many of their employees hold to that credo any longer. Lol

Yet, many of not most do wear shorts year round in pursuit of that Lottery payday none will live to see. Put LongJohns on, ditch the shorts and get to work.

Been having major issues in my City where mail has consistently been late. Why? According to the carriers, mgt has had them holding mail for 10 days. Been going on for a year if not longer.

Nope they're a business now like politicians. I brought this up bc the usps head was grilled by congress not too long ago about their interstate begging for more money not less and claiming he has hard working men and women dependant on their job.

After that happend the loons on social media was like, we can't cut their budget ppl won't get their medicine on time. Uh false! I worked in a pharmacy shipping out medicine. Most medicine went out via the basic usps shipping method. That was happening a decade ago.

Hell last summer I misplaced my debit card and thought I lost it. So I canceled it. Bank main office is in JCMO. They mailed out a replacement. Guess what. [shirt] never arrived so they had to send it again and the next time had to use FedEx to ensure it got to me.

Kicker is this package I'm waiting for is medicine. I no longer have my card bc it's legal here but prices are too expensive. So I order thcA which is just marijuana but bc it's underdeveloped the thc doesn't test. But regular weed is just also thca but the plant fully matured so it tests for thc. Thca. Not illegal federally thc however is. Yet once thca is heated it turns into thc. I turned to weed or back to weed. Bc 4 fifths a week of Jameson just to sleep was getting old along with waking up twice per night to (bleep) bc of it.

So no they can't even get ppl their "medicine" with their current budget as is

It's a hybrid system. One that has to make its own profit without being able to set prices.
Regardless no politician has fixed it yet including the guy who had a previous chance to.
Good luck to him doing it this time, we're hopeful.

What is making me mad is that they are trying to get me to pay for "more postage needed" on items I receive in the mail. The reciever of mail isn't the one who has to pay this.....the sender is! It's called "Return to Sender". What's even crazier are the prices they are saying it costs. For a ting padded envelope that weighed like an ounce, they wanted $6.00. That's INSANE!!!

[DwaininAztec]

Guys, it is simple. The plans are to privatize the Postal Service so that instead of your stamp to mail something across the country it will cost about $15. Your padded envelope will cost about $25. Get ready, things are changing.

[FrankTheTank]

Wait a minute...this checks out.

Wait...Newman actually has a first name?

That's preposterous, egregious, outrageous.

Its a dumb motto and not at all accurate. Safety os supposed to be first, and post offices generally have a fleets of all 1980s vehicles with 50 years of wear and teard that cant get any traction with even slightly bad road conditjons. They dont have 4 wheel drive, anti- lock brakes, any weight, or anything. Just cuz someone can drive theirnford f-150 doesnt mean a postal llv can makenit through safely.

1st of all, stop drinking. 2nd of all, just because a post office is closest to you geographically doesnt mean it is your office packages get delivered from.

This could be for multiple reasons. Not all offices even have carriers depart from them and are just used for over the counter services as they dont have room for mail sorting for routes. Additionally it may not be same zip code as your home. Or, remember your street is not the only street on that mail carriers route. Even though your home may be closest to that post office, the beginning of the route containing your house may be closer to the other office.

Additionally- the arrival dates are estimated dates. Not guaranteed. They never reshipped itnto another office- your post office thats closest to you just possibly isnt your actual office. They can tell you what your office is if you actually ask.

And you are lieing- mail trucks never have driven on snow 8 inches thick with ice- those retro vehicles do not have the capability. They have non of the safety features that modern cars have to make them safe to drive. We have vehicles getting stuck all the time on even barely any snow and needing to be towed.
