Anyone else having issues with USPS delivery? We have had numerous packages travel around the country just to reach our address. We have one package that went to Indianapolis to California then to Columbus. Others have been sent to random post offices around the state only to be sent back to the main hub in Columbus. Maybe I need to contact Elon and Vivek to handle this.
 
Timely thread. We just had two packages arrive three days after they said they were delivered.

My situation is more because I think the new mail lady is lazy and if she can’t stuff it in the mailbox she holds on to it until the next day.

And/or
We seem to have a random (usps) mail carrier stop by at random times- I guess just to deliver packages. Maybe it’s them.


We may need a bigger mailbox going forward.

Our post office has separate trucks for packages this time of year. They come at random times too.
 
It's that time of year. Haven't had any issues this year but in past years around this time have had late packages from all of the major carriers.

Is she thinking your mailbox will grow larger in a day?
 
3 issues this holiday so far...........

1 - Product ordered Black Friday. Tracking created on Saturday. A week later, still shows "waiting for USPS pick up". Contact business and USPS. Both say :bored: and to wait 3/4 more days, and then call back. On day 3 package changes to "in transit", and shows up that afternoon.

2 - Product ordered Black Friday, but it is personalized, so does not ship until 12/7. On the morning of 12/9 it arrives to the DALLAS facility and later that afternoon shows "out for shipment". On 12/11 it is scanned into the FORT WORTH facility. On 12/13 it is scanned back into the DALLAS facility, and now the estimated delivery date is 12/17.

3 - Ordered yesterday from my company. Shipment usually takes 3/4 days from order to delivery. Normal delivery showed product arriving 12/26, so I had to purchase expedited shipping. Of course I know that if I waited until this Friday I could have ordered and gotten FREE expedited shipping (as we need to get **** out to make our numbers) but you still risk it not getting here before Christmas.

I'm usually on my game and have all this done, but w/ all the crap happening at the office, everything just slipped past me (plus Thanksgiving being later in the month).

Good luck to all and hope you have a good Christmas.

Had both issues with the previous mail lady. Had a Chewy order on the way and was down to needing the 40lb bag of dog food. I watched her drive by and the notification said "unable to deliver, driveway blocked". I let them know it was a "farce" and I was not pleased (may have been stated differently). Next day she pulls up in the driveway and said her back was hurting. "Uh, I literally watched you drive by, I would have helped, just like I am now" Then she went into the "you should get a bigger mailbox." Okay but pretty sure they don't make a mailbox big enough for a 40lb bag of food. Glad Chewy dumped USPS.
 
Each office is different. One town can run smoothly and fully staffed and the next town over a complete :poop: show with staffing only at 75% and extremely late deliveries
 
My location is turrible regardless of the time of year. They’ve repeatedly not delivered packages to my door “claiming I wasn’t home”, but was if they just bothered to knock. I actually tracked down the driver in my neighborhood once to get a package. I asked why they didn’t knock despite the note claiming they did. No response. I constantly get other people’s mail and it’s not for my immediate neighbors. Sometimes I get mail after 8 pm.

I’ve had mail holds ignored multiple times. I mean completely ignored. I’m out of town right now and they delivered mail 2 days of the 5 I told them to hold it. Wondering how I know? I have a sensor in the mailbox so every time it opens I get a notification. I also have some outdoor cams (Wyze) take video when the sensor is triggered (use them for lots of other things, but this is a nice feature) Here’s an example

All of this. Just today, two packages were "delivered" to our mailbox. It's one of those group lockable ones. I have no idea where they are. Unless, of course, they went to our mail buddies. They have the same street number but live on the next street over. This has happened so many times, we know them.

When I got the mail yesterday, I had to put a bunch of mail back in the mail slot because it was for two diffent addressees. It's maddening.
 
Whatever you do don't be my wife....when a package is mailed UPS Surepost.....UPS delivers the package to the post office who then delivers to the home.

And every damn time the UPS tracking number will say delivered and she wonders where the package is :)
