Post Office - Beating a Dead Horse

[obiwan1129]

The cost increases don't bother me so much. I am not a fan but sooner or later stuff goes up, I get it. I mean, I'm willing to go 1-2 weeks for the mail. I just took a look at my last 5 Ebay items to see if I'm out of line here. There's definitely something going on at my local distribution center in Baltimore. They must be overwhelmed.

1. Ordered May 10, 2021, first class. Arrived May 17, that's fair.

2. Ordered May 09, 2021, first class. Stuck at the local distribution center (Baltimore) and labeled MISSENT.

3. Ordered May 07, 2021, first class. Says arriving today. Had been stuck in Las Vegas for over a week. It hit the local distribution center (Baltimore) yesterday after I started this thread. Assuming it arrives today, a little long but not outrageous.

4. Ordered May 1, 2021, first class. Stuck at local distribution center (Baltimore) since May 8.

5. Ordered Apr 30. 2021, first class. Arrived May 7. That's fair.

One more item was ordered Apr 25, 2021, first class. It's stuck near the sellers location at their local distribution center (SHREWSBURY, MA) since May 1.

I waited it out over the holidays, and will continue waiting these out for a few more weeks. But it is frustrating. Most of the things I buy are low cost enough that going FedEx/UPS isn't worth it.
