USPS bogging down again

[vintagebaseball]

wanted to bump this up and just curious if anyone else has the same shipping issue as above?
I have been waiting on 3 cards without any update for over 2 weeks now.

Yeah it's definitely bogging down again in NC. I've had several things now 3-4 days overdue because they just sit at the hub 30 miles down the road for a long time before anyone gets to them. Frustrating, but as long as the cards eventually show up I'm not truly complaining.

Definitely finding this as well. I just had a package arrive 6.5 weeks after it was shipped from Pennsylvania. Mostly just happy it arrived!

Funnily enough, about half an hour after I made that post, I did get a single package delivered, with an E90 Chief Bender and a beautiful 67T Mays, so that made me happy. No news as to the other several packages that are purportedly "out for delivery."

On Monday, I sent a package to SGC via registered USPS. It was supposed to arrive today, but does not look like it will. Based on what i am reading, I'll be happy if it arrives at all.

Yup. Package off to SGC sent out 2 weeks ago priority, still "YoU PaCkAgE iS iN TrAnSiT"

Maybe they should contract with PSA. That way they can just assign QA2, QA3, Prepare for shipping, Almost Shipping, You almost had it again, Here it comes, etc...on a little progress bar for you to check. If your package is deemed to be worth more than the stated insurance, they'll hold it hostage and call you to get more fees before shipping.

My local post office here in Chicago has pretty much entirely ceased to function for the entire zip code: https://blockclubchicago.org/2020/12...gressman-says/.

We haven't received any mail whatsoever in more than a week, and the post office is literally 2.5 blocks from our house. I see the trucks drive down our street multiple times a day, and yet, nothing. I have about 10 card packages that are being held...somewhere, hopefully? I called our congresswoman's office yesterday and was told they send the postmaster at least 50 new complaints a day from our neighborhood. I did get a form email acknowledgement from the postmaster, so, yay? Certainly haven't seen any improvement due to the alleged new hires. Who knows when or if I will see my cards? At least I'm not waiting on medication, I suppose.

I really wish eBay sellers would give you the option to select UPS or FedEx.

I signed up for informed delivery, I get an email with scan of items scheduled to be delivered that day, 3 out of 6 days, something is missing. Usually, the missing stuff comes in a day or so but a few things have never shown up at all. Very frustrating.

It's not only the USPS. UPS and FedEx are experiencing delays due to increased shipping from online orders and workers that are out because of Covid-19.

United Parcel Service Inc. imposed shipping restrictions on some large retailers such as Gap Inc. and Nike Inc. this week, an early sign that the pandemic-fueled online shopping season is stretching delivery networks to their limits.

I'm increasingly just beginning to think the USPS is absurdly inefficient. A delay of a day or two around the holidays is to be expected, but I'm seeing horror stories and 2020 being what it is, it's not the first time this year. It would be nice if just one aspect of our lives could work normally again. I know, I know - major first world problems. And yes I'm thankful I'm not lying in a hospital bed on a ventilator right now.
