USPS delivery delays

[a-cut-above]

Has anyone else seen a spike in late deliveries in the last two weeks? I'm getting two or three complaints a day and I only sell about 15-20 items a day. I stand to lose a ridiculous amount of time and money when ebay starts refunding the buyers.

Been going on for a while.

Lack of help in some places due to COVID, and a new postmaster general that outlawed over time.

Hell of a way to run an operation....

Well documented. Even congress or senate members (cant remember which) are stepping in.

Yes!.  I am a very small seller, but the last few weeks it's taken much longer than normal for all my items to arrive at the buyer.  Not only that, but the USPS is not scanning items like they should.  I'll take something to the shipping store or the post office and nothing shows up on tracking except number provided for days.  Last week I shipped an item and saw nothing for 4 days. Then it was finally accepted by my local post office and then arrived in Memphis two hours later.  I live 30 miles south of Atlanta.  They would have had to hire a Lear jet to get it there that fast. I've only been selling for a little over a year and the lack of tracking information has happened to me 5 or 6 times, but all but one of those has been in the last month.

Same here, but I sell on a different site where one is not punish by the vinue provider and/or service provider.

I also buy items online, and I hadn't had any probs receiving those item on time or there very close of, over the last 14 years and even in stages of the pandemic, but over the last 3 weeks it's been awful, out of 4 items I ordered online, non were delivered on time, all of 'em were 5 days late or better.

So after a few days of looking in to the matter, I think it'd be appropriate to simply call it "The De-Joy of The USPS".
