The USPS has become unreliable
17 days to deliver a Priority Mail item! The USPS has become unreliable. Time for Ebay to end the deal with USPS, or renegotiate the discounts. For another $2 I could have had the item shipped 2 day UPS.
apology, message is intended for EBAY Management.

·3 years agoThe USPS is acting like the antiquated two hundred year plus year entity it is. It's imitating private companies in not committing with their employees for job security, etc. This has resulted in huge employee turnaround which, in turn, has destroyed accountability within the USPS. For example, unscrupulous transient mail carriers scan items as DELIVERED but no package is left in the mailbox. The USPS, as per my own experience, questions everything but never question the actual mail carrier who scanned the item for proof of him or her delivering it. It's like their word trumps over the USPS clientele. I don't believe they search for reported missing or theft. Businesses are using UPS, FedEx. etc. because they offer tracking of exactly is the package expected down to the time and in which street or how many blocks away from delivery it is. Now, that's accountability. The USPS merely has an ancient and unreliable tracking that spans the entire day of waiting. In my case on repeated occasions mail carriers scan the items as delivered only to appear a day or two past the alleged delivery. The last time, I asked the carrier [at night] about my tracking saying the item was OUT FOR DELIVERY since 6:00 a.m. The item was scanned "delivered" an hour or so after I asked. Well...the package is not anywhere to be found three days later. I made a claim but told them how I felt about it and that I accepted the item not missing but stolen...by whom, I don't know but they do if they go back to WHO scanned the package the morning of the alleged delivery and if they also asked the carrier who scanned the package "delivered". But, I'm not holding my breath. One thing is for sure, anything I buy from now on would be in person and never by eBay until they sever their business ties with the USPS.
