@sxpckcuda 

I like USPS. You can choose other carriers, though. Hang in there.

Buy from sellers that don't use it.

[chevymontecarlo88]

As a seller you can choose what to use/list and as a buyer you could always request from sellers which may take more time (messaging) and unfortunately may lead you to be blocked. (from sellers with no patience) YMMV

I agree with @mtgraves7984 , hang in there!

USPS has a monopoly on item weighing under 1 lb.   Sellers are often faced with a dilemma -- are buyers going to pay $6 - 9  via UPS or FedEx when the item only weighs a couple of ounces and USPS charges 3.98 - 4.58?

USPS has been "off" since Jan. due to a new AI system be implemented - as per my postmaster. Their system was in the "learning" phase.   I have noticed that things are improving as I monitor all my shipments and use USPS for 88% of my shipments. I ship 100 - 150 packages per day and now 82% ( better than the national average) are delivered by the estimated delivery date.  The key word is estimated -- USPS updates along the way & alerts if there is going to be a delay. I have noticed that I am receiving more requests for UPS and my customers don't mind paying the difference. Did you  have a bad experience?

I can't say it's any better or worse that the other shippers.   They do seem better at looking into missing packages than some of the others do. 

Stinks is mucking the stables on a hot summer day.

After a two month long problem with USPS with Priority Mail where packages were sitting in those messed up distribution centers and customers screaming where is my item as well as a 400 dollar package completely lost by them I switched to Fed Ex. I get FEDEX 2 day FOR A few busks more than Priority mail for small packages and FEDEX EXPRESS rarely if ever screws up anything. I am done with the USPS for a long time until they fix their incompetent system.

Been using UPS Ground and UPS Ground Saver for the majority of my shipments. Not seeing any delays or delivery mistakes. 

The only thing I use USPS Ground Advantage for are the very inexpensive items.

[yuzuha]

I use Ground Advantage exclusively and I've had zero issues with them aside from one package that took 12 days to be delivered a couple months back, but that was due to a snowstorm and not USPS' fault at all. I'm seeing an average of 2-5 days for delivery in probably 95% of cases, most of the exceptions being things going all the way to the other coast and taking 6-7 days.

I use ground advantage for most of my itesm, it is the buyer's choice. Had a few late deliveries but all have made it.

[elymbmx]

then I will buy from you.   I really hate USPS!!!!!! 

[elymbmx]

I really hate USPS!!!!    I ask sellers to use UPS or FedEx and I usually can have the items shipped via UPS or FedEx.      I also look thru the shipping options.    

[yuzuha]

To add to this, I shipped 4 things on Friday. Looking at the status of my orders in the app, 3 of those 4 have already been delivered.
