Postage delays
« on: December 15, 2020, 04:20:07 am »
Has anyone noticed more of that lately? I have two packages that I have been waiting for for over a week....not that I'm desperate for them, just find it interesting....

Fortunately I have only had one package that was delayed for a few days, but it has come now.  I have finished my shopping so I don't have to worry.  My daughter however has had some delayed and she is concerned that they will not come in on time.

It's Christmas rush.  The news is warning that today (15th) is the day all packages should be mailed if you want them before on for Christmas.

All my Christmas packages have been delivered.  But I ordered something for myself from Burts bees and haven't received it yet.  I think I should check with them.  I'm here all the time, so don't think it would be porch thieves  ???

I make memory quilts and had a client send me her clothing on Dec. 1st. The package still has not arrived and it has dropped off of tracking and disappeared. I feel awful for her. No one is the blame, but this poor womans shirts are out there somewhere and usually it is the memorys of a loved one. I hope it arrives eventually and I can make the item for her.

The postal service told me (and her) that they have packages just sitting in warehouses that they cant get to deliver. It is frustrating at best.

We have had this happen with 2 packages. The company says that the system is not updating because of covid. I am not stupid. The packages are sitting there not moving. The system updates automatically when the packages are scanned.  At least it is not just me.  I am seriously thinking of ordering something else today.  I am suppose to get 2 day delivery but with the weekend probably won't get until Monday since UPS does not run on the weekend.

Assuming it is left on the porch. Our Fedex throws packages out in the front yard near the road and at the mailbox. They are extremely LAZY.   I have never ordered from Bert's Bees.  I love their products.  Do they offer free shipping?

All my Christmas packages have arrived on timed.  I was waiting for one for myself, until I realized I never completed the original order.  SO now I have done so and am waiting for one that isn't important date-wise ;)

What I have noticed is it is taking the letter mail a long time to get to place.

This problem has been since Trump got involved with the Post Office.  I've waited weeks to get mail ever since then.  I even talked with our mail carrier about it since that time.

Yes.  All this man has done in office is to create a lot of chaos.  Yet his followers flock to him.  Like Manson and his followers.  He has them all brainwashed.

I had two packages given to UPS then transferred to the post office for delivery.  I tracked it and they were in our post office, they sat there for 2 days, then they were in Philadelphia ( 50 miles away), sat there for another day, then came back to our post office.  One week later I finally got the packages.
