USPS WT*?!

Just crazy. St. Louis is 3 hours from us, not 3 days.

Is this your package from Marvin?

LOL....so true (in the sense of being FUBAR). I had a package get within 15 miles of me. Got a text, "Next day delivery". 2 weeks later and half way around the US (again)?

I finally got my package. It is what it is.

Same thing here. I currently have an inbound package that's been shuttled back and forth to various LA area USPS facilities since Friday. It even made it to within 5 miles of my house and then went away again.

I ordered two items from REI. One went UPS the other USPS. The UPS one arrived, was the wrong item, REI initiated a new shipment, and the second shipment has arrived. All while this other one tours the SoCal area.

Yes, it is.

UPS has been rock solid for me since they mostly cut their residential business ties with Amazon a few years ago. FedEx used to be my go to for packages based on price but I haven't sent anything out with them for quite a while. It's been a long time since they delivered anything to me too. If I want to send a legal document I'll use FedEx overnight but that uses a different part of their delivery service.

USPS is what it always has been but appears to be circling the drain more in the last few years as a mail service. I may go an entire week without even getting mail delivery these days but their Amazon deliveries are almost always on time. That and junk mail seems to be their mission now.

I think I’ll stop in and see what, if any, additional light they can shed on this situation later today if the status doesn’t change.

Start off like this: "Before we get started here, I'd like you to know that I work for the DMV, and I have each of your full names. Now, about my mail..."

PC is hung up in the Hazelwood, MO sorting facility. Was told, “They’ve been having some problems down there.” Well, duh. In an apparent attempt to make me feel better, he said, “Hopefully, it’ll show up by the end of the week.” Gee, thanks.

In other words "Go away so I can lock the door behind you..."

I read the timeline backwards🤦‍♂️. I thought the package had made its way back to Ft. Worth.

bcwsrt

Hey, could this be progress?! It's arrived at its third different facility in St. Louis! 😂😵‍💫😂

bcwsrt

Arrived in St. Louis ... yet again!


I love the question at the bottom! Answer: Approximately zero! 😂

Stay tuned for the next chapter in this continuing saga ...

My package that toured multiple facilities in the greater LA area finally arrived yesterday. So I feel there is hope for you too.

bcwsrt

I appreciate that more than you know!

Are there two different distribution and sorting centers? Looks like it's being bounced between the same two facilities.
DATE TIME LOCATION STATUS
Dec 7 10:50 AM St Louis MO Package Sorting Center Arrived at USPS regional destination facility
Dec 6 2:29 PM Saint Louis MO Distribution Center Arrived at USPS regional destination facility
Dec 5 12:00 AM In transit to next facility
Dec 2 10:25 AM St Louis MO Package Sorting Center Arrived at USPS regional facility
Dec 2 7:18 AM Saint Louis MO Network Distribution Center Departed USPS regional facility

I shipped a package once and it stopped showing no movement for almost a month. They sent me a check paying for it, a couple of weeks later it showed up and to this day it still shows no movement.

Think I repaid them?

I put both of our phone numbers on the address and a second sheet inside the box with addresses on it.

bcwsrt

There are definitely some nuances there. I’m not sure if it’s two, or three, different facilities it keeps going to/from. I’d drive down there and get it myself if I thought it wouldn’t finally be in a truck headed my way the day I decided to do that.

I think I’ll go back to the local PO tomorrow and see if I can elevate my concerns with someone who has some authority to call down there and ask what’s up. It’s beyond ridiculous at this point.

I gathered all the paperwork on my end and was going to go to the post office, but don't know how much they can do from my end.

bcwsrt

Agree. Appreciate that, but I’ll work it some more and see what happens.

I thought if the Snake River demo cables should make their way to me before this one does (imagine that! 😳) and then I actually do finally get it during that demo period to compare to, I would entertain the possibility of karma-ing this one to make the most of a funky situation for the betterment of the forum.

Said another way, it will all work out in the end!

pitdogg2

It's worth going and complaining Marvin, it will get a call to check out just WTH is going on.
Then again they could just give you the mouth music of it's the season relax 😁

bcwsrt

Bwahahaha!! "Mouth music!"

I can’t remember how it is with the USPS, but with UPS and Fed Ex, they generally are more helpful with the sender. I was told they will only discuss a shipment with the sender, but I found that to not exactly be true

Brian's package finally arrives...

bcwsrt

Got a more helpful clerk today. She said it looked like it left St. Louis shortly before 3am today (their scan history is more detailed than what shows online, which still looks the same as above). Said that could mean it’s going somewhere else, not here, though. lol She left a note with my phone number for the postmaster and said he would make some calls about it and follow-up with me either yet today or Monday.

Meanwhile, my UPS package that left NY on Tuesday is out for delivery at the moment. UPS FTW.

msg

Hey, what's your handwriting look like anyway?

Just asking. No particular reason.

bcwsrt

Haven’t heard from the local postmaster yet, but it appears things are looking up! Got a “Plan B” in place with Marvin, if not.

bcwsrt

Well, better 8 days late than never. Another Sunday, non-Amazon delivery.

Thanks, Marvin! You can enjoy your Monday, now.

stangman67

Same same here.

Shipped on the 5th from Pennsylvania to Virginia, should take 3 days max.

bcwsrt

Bless their hearts!
