eBay

I've been selling for years and have always thought the USPS did a really good job. But, lately it's really bad. So many late deliveries all over the country.

One I had took 3 weeks and after I did a report and talked to them they delivered a package of rubber gloves instaed of my jewelry. Of course I had to refund. Another has gone to their 'lost and found'. So I had to refund. They lost it.

Today, Ebay sends me a message to refund a return that hasn't arrived to me. It was shipped 1/29 and is still moving thru the system. But, said I had to refund by 2/13. Haven't received it.

Many shipments I'm following up on and keeping my buyers informed. My packing is very good and there is no issue with it.

Very unhappy with the job they're doing. They are costing me money and time as I chase these down.

I agree. Things have gotten worse and I honestly don't see things improving any time soon. File your claims asap.

I only ship USPS and the results in the last 5 years are variable for no apparent reason. Clearly the weather this winter has caused problems but imo the cause is postmaster dejoy. He was a trump appointee with multiple conflicts of interest due to large stock holdings in competing publicly traded companies. The USPS was created by the founders to ensure citizens could freely and inexpensively communicate with one another not as a for profit company. Demanding that the USPS fully fund retirement/pension accounts far into the future would bankrupt most publicly traded companies. dejoy's "reorganization" of the USPS is imo designed to cripple it as viable organization. Your suggestion that a package wasn't delivered on time because someone opened it and replaced jewelry with rubber gloves is something I've never experienced.

DeJoyless (adjective.) Lacking in happiness due to poor postal performance.

I sank into a DeJoyless despair when more of my packages were lost or delayed.

Dejoy and Trump strike again.

For your information, the Indianapolis Distribution center has been a mess for months. They say it’s because they are way understaffed.

TRump and this guy are major disrupters, and I do not mean that favorably as with innovative, I mean destructive.

I am sure that posting this here, it will be brought to the attention of the USPS and they will make improvements immediately.

I got a 2nd bill recently for something that I had mailed the check for on 12/30/24,

the check was never cashed.

sent another one last week, they contacted me and said that they got both payments in the mail yesterday.

What are the odds and just where was that envelope hiding all that time

I guess you will just have to drive stuff to wherever yourself.

I shipped an item on December 11th, on December 16th, the last tracking update said "no access to delivery location". No updates since. Not delivered, not returned to me. So I filed a claim with USPS as lost. They DENIED it, saying it was delivered! So their insured shipments mean nothing. They can just deny legitimate claims?

I too an experiencing very slow service with my local post office. up to 3 days for them to get it to the regional office to be distributed to the next location. they lose a lot of my items too making me lose money and the product i sent out. Sometimes it arrives, but 2 weeks late and i already refunded the money to the buyer cuz i am in a pickle when it comes to ebay standards. ebay needs to adjust the arrival estimate to about 7 to 10 more days especially in the winter too. Buyers getting a package in 3 days, even in the same state, is not realistic time frames. Add another week to 10 days, i always tell my customers cuz USPS is slow!!!!!
