re: What the heck is going on with USPS?

Was supposed to have a packaged delivered to me in Prairieville last Saturday. On Friday, it arrived at the Baton Rouge sorting center. Wasn't delivered Saturday. Or Monday. On Tuesday when I woke up at 5:30 am it said it was in Prairieville. Wasn't delivered. Later that day I checked and it said it had arrived In Denham Sorings (wtf). Thursday early morning it arrived back in Prairieville and was finally delivered.

In my area I have never seen a white male postal employee. The only white female are the occasional white “Post Mistress”. (Female version of Post Master).

We have basically proved our mail person doesn't come on Fridays.

You should've let him know to PICKLE that elk before shipping it!

For the latest issues that started in earnest in roughly October you have a single individual to blame: the PMG Louis DeJoy. I have owned part of a company several cousins inherited about 25 years ago. One of the cousins quit his job and runs the company and the rest of us do nothing with the day to day but each has an area of responsibility we spend some time managing. My area is shipping. We ship about 10,000 small parts packages a year to support out customers. I shifted our small parts shipping to USPS within the first couple of months. It was far cheaper and we still had daily pickups. I have over 24 years of data for well over 2 million packages shipped by USPS and they did a remarkably good job until the last ~5 months. I used to get a handful of flags per YEAR now half the packages flag as being late, though they haven't lost any we did have to reship 16 packages in that time to appease customers and both packages usually arrived on almost the same day. DeJoy slowed down service on purpose and had more plans to slow it down further and to really screw things up his plans to switch over to more modern sorting machines was a colossal failure due to poor or no planning. We should have a new PMG soon and hopefully will revamp the "Delivering for America" plan with an eye toward returning to better and quicker service.
I hope so. USPS is crucial for so many American small businesses.
In talking to the local postmasters, it seems their opinion of DeLay's "program" tends more toward intentional sabotage than just simple incompetence.

I ordered some fishing tackle online from Japan. The shipment, from Japan, was sitting on my doorstep four days later. With USPS, it takes a week to receive a letter mailed in-state, and thats IF the letter comes in at all. I don’t understand how govt fricks everything up so badly

Another package mailed to BR from Maurepas last Friday went to Shreveport, and then Tulsa. They still say it's going to be delivered today, but I'm almost certain they will soon update to say "In transit to next facility, arriving late".
A previous package went all the way to Fargo before returning to Baton Rouge.
This never happened prior to the end of 2024. I always got the mail from Maurepas more directly and usually within two days. I've been ordering from this company for close to 10 years.

There was a huge campaign to get Biden to step in and replace him as many saw his appointment as an attempt to sabotage USPS with an eye to garnering support for its eventual privatization.
However, the President can not legally fire the Postmaster before a 7 year term is served. It can only be done through a unanimous decision of USPS directors which is a bipartisan committee.

Yep. We used to think an FBI Director couldn’t be fired before his 10 year term was up, too.

Another soldier lost for me in the black hole of the baton rouge sorting center. Last seen alive 1 week ago.
