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.




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.

I got one of the 2 MIA.  And the system did not update until I got it so maybe the other one that is MIA will arrive soon.  Then I have 2 more and they are suppose to be here Monday.  Even though one has not even shipped. lol
But it is 2 day shipping. As long as I have it by Tuesday I will be okay.

Today is Sunday.  Last week out of 6 days we received mail exactly 2 days.  I thought maybe it was just me, but talking to my neighbors everyone only received mail 2 days.

I finally got the package (for myself) that I had been waiting for.  Realized I hadn't completed the order and that's why it wasn't coming.  Went online - placed the order and it was her in record time. ;)

Do you think the mail carrier is not running in your area?  The mysterious package I had mailed to someone in the same town shows it was delivered today. I have not talked to her so I don't know if she actually got it. I don't get mail every day and have not in forever so that is not a big deal. You can sign up for "informed delivery" with the usps and you can see what is coming to you. And what you should have received that day.

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.


It's all Lumpy's fault!    :pumpkin: :pumpkin: :pumpkin:   MAGA !  BAHAHAHAHA!   :bootyshake: :bs: :wave:

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.


You are both so full of bullspit; LOL! I thought I had seen it all with the impeachment hoax and blaming Trump for COVID, but now we are seriously blaming typical and routine holiday mail delays by the post office on Trump?

I'm surprised that you guys aren't blaming Trump for getting Reagan and the two Bushes elected before him!

But for you to call us brainwashed is so outrageously laughable. There has never been a better illustration of the concept of a pot calling a kettle black.

I had a package that was suppose to be delivered Dec 2.  I finally got it 2 days ago. I think most of the problem is people working for USPS are angry at the world and just don't care.

I'm not expecting anything so can't relate to your question.  Seems lime after the  holidays, things should be back to normal though.

One of my bills is missing have not revived it yet.   The only good thing about it is I can at least pay it in town.

I never knew about that, thanks I will sign up.  Yesterday I got a Christmas card from my brother in Florida.  It was postmarked December 19.
