USPS Rant, Wanna pile on?

[nm156]

So, I use informed delivery to check on my packages. Has this happened to you… you check for your package, it shows scanned in, then takes like a week to two weeks to arrive. Packing arrives and says “priority” yeah right. I thought priority mail was 2-3 days now a week to 2 weeks. This happens all the time to me. Sometimes I see the package has arrived in the city next to mine, 1 hour away, and it’s sitting there for like 3 days before it gets to my city to deliver. Says “priority mail”… Does USPS no longer do priority mail? Or they just don’t give a rip anymore about timing? It pisses me off to be honest. Or I will get an update it’s in a state thats 3-4 states away for days. The bam, it’s delivered. No update. The app sucks and so so does USPS, but I guess it’s all we got. Anyone else have these issues?

My kid works for USPS, she has told me some horrible stuff about how things work there. For 1 thing they are severely understaffed and overworked..not to mention underpaid. She has 1 day off a week and works 10-12 hours every day. Youre right, Its a hot fucking mess. The turnover rate is incredibly high. Shes 20, and shes the ONLY person at her hub under 40. They're all older and running on fumes. TBH after hearing hoe things work from the inside its amazing anybody even gets a package.

Fuhgeddaboudit!

I had something scheduled for yesterday. Then today. Was at my local PO early this morning. Then an hour later it’s at a processing facility on another plane of existence.

And I am well stocked up. Probably enough for shtf.

Usps is part of the government...need i say more? Its a miracle to me that they do as well as they do

USPS is a criminal run organization . They steal, lie and delete info and falsify info to deny insurance claims.

I've dealt w them since 1996 and on a scale of 1-10 i rate them a zero.

I told u guys how they're going after Bacteriostatic water. Just today look.what they did to my pack todestroy it and it's contents so I can't sell it

They actually have the balls to deliver it like this too.

See fragile stickers all over it? They destroyed it. This is the 3rd time they've done this. And they won't pay any insurance claims.

Wait til u see my eventual lawsuit for millions

I will have the last laugh.

You have high expectations from a government agency where there is no accountability, avoid them if possible

Here are some fun myths and facts about the USPS and how it is being crushed on purpose for conglomerates
link is below

MYTH:The USPS loses billions of dollars each year in taxpayers’ money.​

FACT:The Postal Service is self-funded and relies on revenue generated from the sale of stamps products and services to pay for its operations.​

MYTH:The USPS is obsolete because letter mail volumes have steadily declined in the digital age.​

FACT:The Postal Service is 250 years old and has always adapted to new technology and mail-mix. While letter mail is down package volumes are up. Additionally the Postal Reform Act of 2022 allows the Postal Service to offer new services to local government. These and other expanded services like postal banking could underpin USPS finances for generations to come.​

MYTH:Moving the USPS under the Commerce Department would mean it is still a public agency and not subject to privatization.​

FACT:Moving the USPS under the Commerce Department would be a step backwards giving power back to the Executive Branch and removing the independent governance that allows us to serve America free from political interference. It could also affect labor union contracts vote-by-mail initiatives and much more. Trump-appointed Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick would be in charge. He has already expressed interest in privatizing the Postal Service. This administration intends to break up and sell off the profitable portions of the Postal Service to billionaires and USPS competitors.​
