I mailed several Priority packages in the past week, one package sat at Dayton receiving office for a whole week not moving and finally moved to Cincinnati but sat there for a day now. Another Priority package also sat in Dayton office since 12/10 not moving at all when I checked today! I know it is holiday season and COVID has an effect, but didn't think it would be this slow!
 Anybody experience the same?

I bought a pair of Oakley safety glasses last week that should’ve been delivered last Friday. Their progress has been painfully slow. The package seems to sit at every major usps hub (Atlanta to cincy to Akron) for 36-48 hrs before getting passed along closer to my local post office and final delivery. That’s the pandemic mixed in with online Christmas sales of stuff for you this year!

I think they are behind on everything, I just got a Bass Pro flyer yesterday and the deals expire today.

Yep. I sold some stuff on eBay and shipped priority mail on the 1st. Tracking info didn’t even update until Monday. Still not delivered. From Ohio to Virginia!

I wanted to make sure they get delivered fast with "priority" but no difference! I do have a package shipped to Wisconsin delivered in time. I put tracking notifications on the packages appear slow so I can watch them, got me more worried when they are not moving. Those are EE as well, I hope the buyers understand the situation, not leaving me bad feedbacks! I sent them tracking info when I shipped, they should know I shipped them out with no delay at my part. |

Considering last week I didn't get mail for 3 days in a row, I think that's just how crazy things are. I do think it is odd that my daily USPS Informed Delivery still sorted mail each day at the local PO (though those emails are coming at 10am instead of the usual 7am, but still. If its sorted, it should still make it on the truck.

I bought a $10 item on ebay on 11/29.
USPS says it has been to Danville PA Lancaster PA Danville PA Lancaster PA Harrisburg PA Lancaster PA Columbus OH Warrendale PA Cincinnati OH Pittsburgh PA Lancaster PA Pittsburgh PA Warrendale PA and they stopped giving updates on the 10th, saying it would be late, but is still on its way. If its been traveling that far, I don't doubt the financial issues of the USPS! I just need the shit before 12/25, so as long as they can get their head out of their ass by then, I will be okay, but my worry is my shit is at the bottom of a pile that keeps having the top layer added and removed, so the bottom isn't getting touched. |

https://fox8.com/news/i-team/pictures-show-mountains-of-mail-not-getting-delivered/ I finally had a priority package sent December 1st that finally arrived today. Keeping my fingers crossed that the priority packages I sent out to family make it in time for Christmas. |

I paid for Express shipping and got something from Kansas make it in 18 hours and I've had packages moving slowly but after they leave Columbus nothing at all(for overall week). So I'm willing to bet 200 semi trailers sitting in Cleveland is probably right. I don't even get mail every day right now.
My concern is if Cleveland is that far behind I don't see how they catch up until well into January. |

I don't think I even know where to find a ups or FedEx to ship stuff and if I do ship anything I'm going Express at least I would assume it wouldn't sit in the back of some semi for weeks. |

Spoke with someone yesterday who’s wife is pretty up there for the USPS in SW Ohio and things are so bad right now that there are trucks full of packages just sitting for 7 to 10 days in some of the places mentioned before being processed to continue forward.
The employees are being told to just say things are slow due to the season and are not to disclose that it is way worse than that. |

I have something coming from Athens to Canton... went from Columbus to Akron to Cleveland... then over to Indianapolis and now Cincinnati.  It's now been two weeks for two of the five packages I'm waiting on, one from MI and one from NJ. While I'm certainly annoyed about all of the delays, the only package I'm genuinely concerned about is the one from NJ. It is worth the most, and the most susceptible to damage from mishandling. I have no idea why the seller chose USPS - they didn't say upfront, so I figured it was going to be UPS; then I got a USPS tracking number.

Only way I'm using USPS is if the seller has no other options and at this point I won't get anything else if it is the only option. I have a few things I'm waiting on but I have one that is pretty expensive that left VA 3 weeks ago and departed Columbus 2 weeks ago and it's been dead on the water since. I understand the holiday and covid but o don't understand having 200 trucks sitting in Cleveland alone for weeks. How do they plan on getting anything done. How does this even get this backed up no other shippers seem to have any issues. Just take your package and let it sit? I assume they have to be running out of trailers soon. |
