Has there ever been a more incompetent business organization than the USPS?

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

I meant Priority Mail Express, which has guaranteed 1-day or 2-day delivery options. They're only shipping from 50-something miles away, so they usually get here in one day.

Yeah, can't do that here. Distance is too far.

My wife got a new phone and ordered a protective case for it back in the latter part of July. It was one of those mass-produced phone cases you find on Ebay, probably made in China, and cost her about $9.98 with free shipping.

So the Ebay seller shipped it the next day from Las Vegas, NV on July 28. From there it arrived at a Los Angeles distribution center on July 29, departed there on July 30, and arrived at a USPS regional facility in Des Moines, Iowa on the same day.

Now here's where it started getting weird: From Des Moines, Iowa, it arrived at a West Fargo, ND regional facility on August 1 and then showed up at a Jersey City, NJ facility on August 6. It departed the Jersey City facility on August 7, made it to an Oak Creek, WI facility on August 8, then on to Madison, WI on the same day. The package still has another 65 miles to go before it arrives here, which hopefully will be tomorrow.

Is this any way to run a business? Especially a business that has a 2025 projected total operating revenue of $82.9 billion, a $2.4 billion increase from 2024. A business that has a total Q3 operating expense of $22.0 billion, a 2.9% increase compared to the same quarter last year.

I might have to write a letter to President Trump. You know, that "fascist" guy sitting in the White House. To hell with making the trains run on time, nobody rides trains anyway. I'd be happier if he kicked the USPS in the rear end and made them get the mail running on time.

True. They not only rely on federal taxpayer's money to stay afloat, they also keep raising their postal rates.

We get shafted coming and going.

since 1982 they dont rely on tax payers money but they get govt money for certain things like providing free mailing privileges to the blind and overseas voters, ........but even if they did, they are owned by the govt,so why wouldnt the govt support it?.......
