The USPS SUCKS

Media mail is even worse than always.  What should take days is taking weeks. I’m waiting for a set going from NY to NJ that I purchased two weeks ago; it would have been faster if I drove to NY myself.  Who knows when it will come. 

That gives me hope it may arrive still... but yes, moving on as Tom said.

Here's a good one. Package stayed in Jersey City for a week. Instead of proceeding North (I'm in upstate NY), it was then sent back whence it originated in NC.

Dusty Groove have informed me that those of us waiting for delayed packages, they have been in close contact with the post office about the lack of packages moving and the lack of updated tracking,and to be patient.  They said they hope the issue will be resolved over the next few days. There was an issue with all packages shipped April 7th apparently.

Patience is about all we have! No progress today either.

Don't assume UPS/Fedex will be great.

I placed a small Staples order from work for office supplies. Pre-COVID, it would have arrived via UPS one day later. It now will be at least 8 days (each day the ETA gets pushed back a day).

But I'm sure they will outperform USPS.

No mail delivery Wednesday, no mail delivery Thursday - zip, nada. Don't see how media mail vs. 1st class vs. priority makes any difference when they just don't deliver at all.

It does seem to make a difference. I received a cd today I ordered less than a week ago that went first class.

NY is a mess package-wise. Still waiting on something shipped a couple weeks ago from an hour and a half away. Dunno if it'll ever show.

Sounds familiar. No change in my two missing packages :(

Update on my shambolic delivery: in 13 days it's nonsensically cycled between Greensboro NC and Jersey City. At least my UPS office supply order arrived after 8 days.

Here is a fun one. Not sure how it took 5 days to go from Jacksonville to San Francisco...or why it went there, but then took 10 days to go from San Francisco to LA.

You’re screwed: Jersey City, where media mail goes to die!

Sorry to bore you with this s**t, but it's gotten truly ridiculous. On the second go-round in Jersey City, it was sent to Denver ???!!!. The destination is Upstate NY, nearest hub Albany. Good thing it's a reputable seller (Squidco via Discogs). I'm expecting to have to request a refund. But it only stayed in JC for a few hours this time - last time they kept it a week!

As a former employee I just don't get this stuff.  Of course I posted my similar experience. From what I've read online overall first class and bulk(junk) mail volume is way down because of the virus. There are days when there is nothing in my mailbox. As for parcel volume I'm hearing it's comparable to the Christmas holidays because with many stores closed and people home, there is a lot or ordering online. Amazon can't even guarantee 2 day delivery for Prime members. Chewy where we order our pet food, is taking forever to ship. We placed an order over 10 days ago and still hasn't shipped.  Perhaps the rank and file at the USPS is overwhelmed. Not that's an excuse. Just weird stuff that escapes me.
