Anyone one else having issues with USPS in California? I have had to eat over
$600 of lost or stolen orders to various CA addresses in 2021. Not one of the
insurance claims have been honored. I have literally lost 2/3 of the inventory
sent there even with tracking numbers. It has been a very frustrating year in
that regard...didn't lose one other package even to foreign countries. Curious
if it was just me or if there is legitimately some issues with USPS in CA. Thanks.

I've shipped nearly 300 orders to California addresses this year, and have
not had any go missing... not sure if that is simply because they were shipped
from within the state(?)

I do know that the local Los Angeles USPS Sorting Facility is not the best at
*scanning* packages that leave through it--so the tracking information is
always delayed showing up online--but the packages do seem to arrive without
issues...

Life is Good.

I'm not a large store by any means, but in the last 14 months have sent 34
packages to various locations in CA and have not had any issues. That really
sucks that you've had this much loss.

Same here. I've sent 21 packages to CA this year, all First Class mail, none
has been lost or even unduly delayed.

I live in Ca and the post office is the worst. I have packages saying delivered
and there no package. I call the customer service line log a complaint and my
package shows up next day and all the scans are changed. Post office also claims
they are not responsible for anything that happens to packages and says get insurance
but always finds a reason not to pay. They need go out of business. If someone
form Ca. places a order you should have it pick up at post office that solve
a lot of it.

No notable cali issues. I was in state until July and have sent quite a few since
my move to TN.


I did have some slow dispatches from cali to out of state, but nothing lost.
How odd you are having this issue.

I know they are swamped though.
