Last year, on two separate occasions, my package was delivered from my mailbox to my nextdoor neighbor's mailbox...about 150' away. I realize fuel prices are up, but the postage seemed a bit excessive to me.
I would also suggest that you insist, (via leaving a note or in person) that your package gets scanned upon pickup or you will have no proof it was even mailed. I have been unable to determine/verify that protocol requires such a scan.

U.S. Postal Service Opens Permanent Political Division, Dedicated to the Delivery and Return of Mail-in Election Ballots, DNC Lawyer Mark Elias is Very Happy
July 29, 2022
With mail-in ballots becoming a feature of all future elections, the United States government, specifically the United States Postal Service (USPS) is now creating a permanent division inside USPS to control the delivery and return of the election ballots. Do you know the political affiliation of your mail courier?
As often said, it’s not the vote that matters, it’s the counting…. or in this instance, the collection of the votes that really matters. Democrat lawyer Mark Elias, in charge of protecting all fraudulent voting initiatives on behalf of the Democrat National Committee, is happy with the news. Keep in mind the union representing 300,000 U.S. postal workers previously endorsed Democrat Joe Biden for president.
The National Association of Letter Carriers, is a fully compromised left-wing division of the USPS. The USPS has just created a division of NALC employees exclusively to handle mail-in voting, just in time for the mid-term election.

I've never really had a problem with USPS other than one time. Other than that one time, they have usually been on time with my packages.

ups fricked me
I ordered a package(tucker mug for pops), UPS handled 95% of shipping, then Monday, handed it off to local USPS.
No problem, except the USPS is a pos, and useless branch of government.
I finally received that package, which was a gift, xmas eve night, long after i went to family party. so usps kept it for 4 full days, before finally sending it to my house.
They are useless, i remember when our mailman was milking the clock during holiday months, called him(not by name), out on local papers forum. Suddenly till he retired, 2 years later, he had mail there by 2:30 every day.
during holiday months it was 7-8pm. but suddenly after being called out, he did every week of xmas holiday by 2:30 shocker

That's UPS surepost. The Teamsters are trying to get rid of this service next year in the new contract where they hand packages off to the USPS. We'll see what happens.

A big difference between the post office and private carriers like UPS and FedEx is the term 'customer service' is not in their training manuals.
I had an issue with my mailman tearing up my front lawn in order to make a tight turn at our corner for the next mailbox.
I explained that all he had to do was back into my driveway and then front out.
He said: 'We're not allowed to put our vehicles in reverse.'
BTW, the first attempt at private mail delivery in America was back around 1800. It was very successful. The govt shut it down. Post office jobs were political patronage.

I send out hundreds of packages, used to be thousands before Biden took office, every week. All smaller packages (clothing). 99%+ make it to destination, all insanely fast, and cheaper than any other service unless it's a big order going as far as washington/Alaska.
They're incredible by comparison to others for the price.
The issue is when a package goes missing. You're totally fked. Don't even try to fight with them over email or phone. Accept your loss and avoid homicidal rage.

It’s government run. Best and brightest. Not tasked with efficiency or profit.

I ordered something that came through USPS this last month.
I live in Temple 45 miles north of Austin on I35. I had something coming from Austin (our main USPS hub) it went from Austin to Temple USPS, which is less than a mile from my house.
Then instead of going out for delivery, it went to Taylor, TX, Austin, TX, Waco, TX (30 miles north of Temple,) and then back to Temple.

You forgot to mention TVA, the generating plants they have shut down, and now the TVA rolling blackouts. Yes, our efficient government at work.

True. There are multiple messages you could take. I am just so used to the left blaming everything on trump that it is basically automatic.

Was it via Media Mail? I've read that is the lowest priority, and sometimes takes 4 to 8 weeks. I ordered something late November. Shipped Nov 26, and has been rotting in a Chicago post office since December 1st.

I mailed packages this year. Each time I did the post office was busy with a longish line, especially around Christmas. I never had to wait a long time as the lines moved fast. The clerks were working quickly and were friendly to deal with.
I've sent maybe 75 or 80 shipments out through the post office and everyone has reached its destination.
Maybe I'm just lucky.

About the only thing government about TVA today is the holidays and leave. They haven't received any fed dollars for 20 years, no GS pay scale, no pensions.
Agree shutting down generating plants is not a good move but federal regs was making them cost to much to operate.

They are also the only one who is required to deliver to even the unprofitable addresses, so it’s apple to oranges.

USPS was a million times worse last year. I sell a bit on ebay and half the packages I sent out in December were weeks late. This year I haven't had a complaint.
Posted on 12/25/22 at 5:22 pm to GnashRebel
It’s the people they put in charge. DMV = USPS. Democratic lead cities also. Anything a Democrat touches goes to hell.
