USPS has systemic problems.
They should: Drop delivering anything with less than 1st class postage Begin delivering every other day [M,W,F or TU, TH, Sa], cut the workforce and vehicle fleet in half Behave like a business. |

Is that the free shipping? Aka smart post? If yes, that's why. It only leaves the regional facility in certain days if the week or when they have capacity. It's like media mail.....slow and capacity dependant. That's why it's cheap, and offered for "free" to consumers.

Fewer sorting facilities means more oddball trips among existing facilities.

Quote HistoryQuoted: No, the point I was making it bounced back and forth between KCK & KCMO SEVERAL TIMES. Not only that but they get Wellsville mixed up with Wentzville, Warrenton, and Wright City all of the time. I live in Wellsville and have had packages bounce between the two distribution centers and then to all the other towns I mentioned before getting to me. And of course each town has to send it back to one of the distributions centers before it gets sent back out to me. And don't get me started on the lazy ass carrier that can't deliver my mail until somewhere between 3:30PM and 6:30PM when the subs can get my mail to me no later than 1:30PM. |

I had a package from midway take two joyrides from Columbia to St. Louis, maybe it got to see the arch, then to the KCK, then to KCMO before going to my local post office. It'd be funnier if it weren't so pitiful and a waste.

Same experience here. Our local post office employees are the best. Probably because it's a small town and they actually care about doing a good job and we know one another. Even they call Hazlewood the 'Black Hole' and shake their heads every time it is mentioned.

One of the worst was when I ordered some model paint from Mark Twain Hobbies in St Charles, Mo. My package went to St Louis, then to Memphis, then back to St Louis, After it got to St Louis, it then went to Wentzville, then back to St Louis then to Wright City only to go back to St Louis yet again. And yes I have had packages bounce back and forth between St Louis and Kansas City several times before finally getting to me.
When ever I can wait on an item from MidwayUSA, I wait to order and pickup my order when I have to go to Columbia for VA appointments. |

The reason the U.S. Postal Service is losing money is because the check is in the mail...

Hi,
I ordered a license plate camera on 4-29 on Facebook, it left Chicago on 6-06, and it's still enroute. I live in a small town, 8 hours away from Chicago, and still waiting. I agree, cut mail deliveries, stop the junk mail, cut staff and equipment, and only deliver the mail, not the BS stuff |

I’ve got a $500 package in limbo right now.
Worked from home on Tuesday to sign for it, and now tracking just says “arriving late”. ETA - well, my package just showed up. I don’t know how angry I should be about it. I’ve had packages taken out of my mailbox in the past. Since this was an expensive item I paid the extra $10 to sign for it so it wouldn’t sit in my mail box all day. My delivery man stuck it in my box and marked it as signed for by me. Yeah, I did not sign for it. Part of me is glad that they found it and delivered it. Part of me is pissed that they just stuck it in my box and marked it as signed for when it wasn’t. |

A friend of mine was shipped a FN MAG-58 Belt fed machine gun and 2,000 rounds of belted ammo. It was sent U.P.S. Signature Required.
The driver listed it as Mr. Porch signed for it and left it on the porch! When my friend found it his first call was to B.A.T.F Enforcement, U.P.S. had a proctology exam. |

Fedex left a pistol at Walgreens since I wasn't at my business to receive it. Sat on the shelf of the old 1hr photo area until I figured out where the hell it was.

My FFL is based from their home and FedEx has left multiple guns that I had shipped there on the porch without even bothering to ring the doorbell. The excuse....COVID 19.

Of course life was so less stressful when you were told "allow 10 to 14 days for shipping" and not provided a tracking number to check daily/hourly.
