I sold a vintage Weaver C4 .22 rifle scope to a buyer on Ebay, back on Jan. 18 for $62. Shipped it the same day it was paid for through USPS Priority Mail, and yesterday (Jan. 31) the buyer opens an Item Not Received case because it hasn't been delivered yet.
The buyer is located in Alabama The USPS tracking number shows that the package got to a facility in Alabama, but was then shipped to a facility in fucking Maine, fer Christ's sake.
Meanwhile, Ebay has withheld from my payouts the amount of the item plus shipping, until the fucking package can be located by the USPS and sent to the right fucking address. I know, I know: First World Problems. But you dickheads aren't the ones who have to sit on your thumbs until fucking Ebay releases you fucking money.
Just what the fuck is going on with our postal system anyway? I can understand how something being shipped to fucking Russia can drop off the radar and simply disappear, because they're a bunch of ham-fisted vodka-swilling Russian thugs. Their postal system sucks ass. Half the shit going there gets stolen or lost, then I have to make good for it out of my own pocket.
But the US of fucking A? Why the hell do they keep jacking up their postal rates when they can't get a simple 1 pound 6 ounce package from point A to point B in three days like I paid for? WTF anyway??
I would expect this much incompetence if the USPS were a legitimate governmental agency, which they're not. According to them, they are not funded by the government, and rely on user-funding to keep them running. THat's me. That's the money I pay them. But if that's so, why did the USPS spend so much time and money trying to get all those mail-in ballots to those idiot voters last November?
And why are they turning into the equivalency of some third-world postal organization, that can't get a simple package from point A to point B?
I'll tell you why: They were so busy getting Joe "Fuckstick" Biden elected, that they couldn't do the fucking job I pay them to do. Bastard sumbitches.
Gawddamned Post Office anyway, and their seven fucking labor unions. May the ghost of Jimmy Hoffa haunt them forever and ever, Amen.
