My dealings with USPS Priority Mail have been 90% positive over the last several years. Over the last 2 months, my success with priority mail is about 40%. I'm currently waiting on a package from a neighboring state that is now 4 days past expected arrival with 2-3 Day Priority Mail.

Ive never had issues with Amazon or UPS. I guess this is the first time I have ever had this happen to me.

that’s what I mean, my Amazon order arrive on time but it seems like everything else has taken longer, maybe Amazon is getting preferential treatment at the expense of others? I also wonder if we’re not also absorbing Amazons free shipping by paying a lot more now to ship anything,it’s crazy expensive.

I bought some things on here a week or so ago. It was shipped from Oregon on a Saturday and it was at my door Monday in Pennsylvania. Guess I got lucky.

USPS has been a pain in my ass this month. Have two different packages that have left and re-arrived at the same damn hub like 8 times for 3 weeks. Pissing me off.

We ordered some supplies sent to dads house in AK for a trip from Amazon. It showed delivered on a Friday, nothing there, they were home. Started calling, nobody knows anything. Called amazon and refunded the money. 2 days later the neighbor brings a package they found under the edge of the camper by the garage.

My wife calls amazon says it arrived, so charge us. Amazon said don’t worry about it, wasn’t delivered as agreed. Wish I would have ordered $500 instead of $250!

It still says "In Transit" so I am hoping it is just sitting at a HUB or something and will be here soon.

Remember, we're just getting over a flipping major hurricane. Not sure of all the particulars in this specific case, but things get fubar with weather anomalies.

I'm a big fan of USPS prority, they do a great job IMHO.

Nope...I've sent a lot of stuff via USPS and things move quickly. I'm not sure why some packages went the routes they did but always delivered. I ordered some skis last week and they arrived from Vermont in 2 days via FedEx. I'm sure I'm pushing my luck though

I realize the USPS is in shambles right now. But I bought a duplex frame from a guy on here and for FIVE straight days, USPS has said "Your package will arrive later than expected, but is still on its way. It is currently in transit to the next facility. "

Anyone else having issues with the USPS and not receiving their precious items?

you can be in that status for weeks, then it eventually shows up.

Ive usually had the same experience. I guess the reason why im bringing this up is because i want my Kifaru frame ASAP lol.

USPS has “lost” two packages for me, both valued at $3,000+

The claims process never finished, so I filed an FBI claim against them. That paperwork allowed for the use of home owners insurance to get the funds back.

Never had an issue with USPS or Fedex.

Their balance sheet bums me out. Losing 8-10 billion year after year shouldn't be acceptable to tax payers.

YIKES. I am hoping it still arrives. Still shows "In Transit" so 🤷‍♂️ guess we'll see what happens.

I had something similar happen with a bow I bought. It was in transit for days(late) then was at the distribution center by me and out for delivery. It's probably not lost, they're just backed up. Good luck and keep us posted.

I was having some disappointing delays with them a few months ago where stuff was sitting in a truck the next town over for days at a time but they seem to have most of it worked out lately stuffs been coming a day or two early.

My NM archery elk tag was lost and never arrived. Luckily the state sent me another in time for my hunt this year.
