USPS has consistently gone from fair to bad to atrocious in recent months.
I don't think I'll be shipping via USPS for the foreseeable future.
Priority Mail takes a week even to go to next state.
In some cases, packages are taking ridiculously circuitous routes.
Tracking is shoddy.
I'm at a loss.

I had a package sent yesterday via overnight, supposed to arrive today by noon, and it does not appear it will be here on time. I opted to go overnight not only to get the package quicker, but for the opportunity to claim a refund on postage if not delivered on time. Now I see this:
9.5.5 Refunds Not Given
F. If authorized by USPS Headquarters, and the delay was caused by governmental action beyond the control of USPS or air carriers; war, insurrection, or civil disturbance; delay or cancellation of flights; projected or scheduled transportation delays; breakdown of a substantial portion of USPS transportation network resulting from events or factors outside the control of USPS; or acts of God.
I have six priority packages in transit right now, all of which are running late, two of which by more than a week.
This is idiotic....

Outrageous service. Yet, no problem getting ballots...oops, better leave that alone.
It's a shame those waiting for medication or checks have to be subjected to this nonsense.

She said morale among employees is at an all time low, and that they have little to no faith in their current leadership.
That makes so much sense.
All other factors would seem to have a positive effect on USPS, not the opposite.
