I've had nothing but problems from the USelessPS. Numerous packages just sit in limbo especially once they get to the local distribution center which is about 6 miles from my house. Currently waiting on two packages coming from the left coast to me here on the right coast, should've had them yesterday. I will say the carriers are hard workers for the most part.
I pay extra whenever I can to ship UPS because Fedex ground is only marginally better than the postal service in my area.
I thought the USPS problems were only in my area but it looks like it is all over. This started to get worse over the holidays and actually got worse again come January and continues.
Can't say enough good things about UPS, rarely has a package been delayed and when they are it has only been one day, not a week like Fedex nor a month like the USPS.
UPS are Teamsters, conventional "wisdom" says the union guys are lazy, stupid, etc. but UPS comes through EVERY SINGLE TIME for me! Now the USPS are unionized and they give a bad name to union workers in my opinion, just like teachers but I'm getting off track.
Hate to use a broad brush like that and I know there are good workers in those fields but I'm at my wits end. Can not get a lot of things I need locally so I have to buy that stuff online.
For the record I'm a union guy too! ILA member for nearly 38 years now.
