I shpped out a package priority mail two days on June 8 going to Tennessee cheked see where it was in arrived in Kansas on the 12th and sat for four days on the 16th is came back to Santa Barbara and was delivered on the 18th complained to the Post Office and got no response. Now i have another package which will be late. Any body else having trouble with USPS?

Odd, it has been posted on media, news articles, and all over about USPS delays for the past year at least. Have you seen those notifications? Your experience is par for the course. Nothing new. Sorry to say, but that is the new norm for USPS, and no, priority mail, is not guarantee service on 2 days.

I randomly checked the last 2 shipments; coming from NV to Arkansas; shipped on 6/28, being delivered today; coming from NV to Michigan; shipped 6/28- being delivered today.

Issues are random and seldom; Complaining to USPS is like complaining to the IRS or a brick wall. You get the same result. 

Priority used to be 2-3 days; now it's 2-14? days...I tell customers (who ask) just that. We shipped it on time and overall, out of 2500 packages I've shipped in 2021 alone (all USPS either 1st Class or Priority) NOT 1 has never made it to it's final destination.

My packages take from 3-14 days with 1st Class in USA.  I do not understand how erratic USPS is.  Maybe they are still feeling the effects of the covid labor shortage?
