Please use either UPS or Fedex until USPS sorting facilities can get back on track

As a resident of the state of Georgia, I am aware of the unresolved delays going on at the Palmetto Georgia facility.I had to do something.Although I am currently a buyer and not a seller, I reached out to Ebay and chatted with an agent to see if they could do something to help sellers out  in the meantime. Not sure if Ebay had ever been made aware of the ongoing problems that are currently beyond the seller's control.  Agent mentioned " I'm also making a report on this & I will escalate this to our specialize team as well so that it can be identified on top priority note." I keep seeing the horror stories on the local news and that some sellers are at risk of being suspended or are going to have to deal with negative feedback and having to eventually issue refunds if buyers are unwilling to wait. It doesn't look like the delays in Georgia are going to end anytime soon. I am aware that it probably will cost more to use either UPS or Fedex, but the odds of packages actually arriving in a reasonable amount of time will make things better for both buyer and seller. If any sellers decide to put USPS delivery on hiatus might I suggest possibly mentioning in your listing the reason that USPS is not currently being offered?  From a buyer's point of view, I would be grateful to see something like this because it demonstrates that sellers are going out of their way to make sure that deliveries are received as quickly as possible. Good luck to all of the sellers from a buyer who can appreciate what a frustrating time this truly must be.

Another clarification that might help. I finally received my package. At a quick glance, it did not look like Priority mail. My package was sent out priority mail but the seller said it was dropped off in some type of kiosk and he did not get any scan at that time. Seller sent it out in a box from some random product that had no Priority mail markings except in the window with the paper that had my address. Now I understand why my priority package was not sent out priority. Check out this link, it makes sense about why my Priority package was never sent out priority and why it took so long to arrive. https://community.ebay.com/t5/Shipping/According-to-Local-USPS-Office-Delays-Are-Worst-Then-Initally...

It is not just Ga, Phoenix is the absolute worst its ever been. out of 24 packages shipping last month only about 10 have been delivered thus far. Dejoy has really messed everything up with his plans.

UPS and Fed Ex are not an option for me.

Same here, costs about 20 or more to ship a tube with Fedex and UPS. just outta the question.

i'm in south GA and it feels like deliveries are back to normal.  this was a huge issue early to mid March for sure.  one thing i ordered from 3/1 finally arrived on 3/30 after being lost in the ATL area for weeks, then going to Florida for some reason and then back to the sender's state, before magically delivered to me the next day.
