Is anyone having issues with packages or mail in general? I was supposed to get a package today delivered by USPS and this morning it said by 8PM. Then at 2 it said arriving late. By 8 it said it was at its original destination. Arizona. This is a legit company I’m just waiting for a different size for something I already ordered from them a week ago. I’ve been in contact with them all week about exchanges and other stuff and they are totally legit. Is this happening to anyone else? With USPS?

Interesting! I wouldnt be surprised if it was political shenanigans. I dont know if they consider Arizona to be a swing state, but astronaut Mark Kelly running for senator, husband of watsername Claire Gibbons, something like that, who was shot a few years ago at a political rally? I think they want to slow his possibly taking office early. Maybe they turned the whole mail truck around.

I just saw a news story indicating a lot of widespread delays. My amazon was sposed to arrive Monday. Always has
Came Thursday. USPS. Trump. Election.

I agree it's likely political. Tragedy for our country! Basically criminals are behind it. I don't mean the regular postal workers at the bottom of the ladder.

My husband and I have experienced some major delays, too. Major.

I hate the usps. I’m not saying they should be abolished because the only official governmental communication option there is. If the government got the memo that we are in the 21st century maybe they would be willing to use other services or even-gasp- electronic communication!

Yes! The USPS is messed up because of the political situation. It's extremely frustrating.

I’m in Australia and our postal system sucks. Some things arrive quickly. Others not. Still waiting on something I ordered weeks ago!

Yesterday, we only just received two pieces of mail that were originally sent at the beginning of September. One from Wisconsin and the other from New York City (that is only an hour drive away from me). Another, from Delaware (another bordering state) came extremely late, too. We also received two packages extremely late prior to that. It definitely seems like the recently installed Post Master General is causing chaos.

It finally came yesterday but they sent the same size I had originally ordered. So I sent them a really nice email asking if I could just send both of them back and get a refund. And the lady apologized and said the seamstress didn’t see the note with the correct size and she’d issue me a refund and to keep both of them.

I mean, I really did just want the same product but in the size I need but I guess it doesn’t matter. I’ll order the size I need next month.

I wasn’t a **** about it so that’s probably why she let me keep both of them and was so nice about it.

My son works for USPS. The Postmaster General came in and created all sorts of crazy rules that were completely contrary to how the USPS has always run. The backlog is getting better, but it is going to take more time. It is not your local post office that is the problem. Look above them. WAY above them. Very much a political mess.

Thank you for your information, AW. The situation is egregious.
