Is anyone else experiencing really late package delivery’s with USPS? In the
past 3 months I’ve had 3 customers complain about late deliveries.

That’s normal, they always take a long time to open your package and check the
value of the item to see if it’s worth taking

Had two Ground Advantage packages ship on April 20th that went on a "world
tour". They both finally got delivered yesterday. One went Ohio to Tennessee
by way of South Dakota and Nebraska. The other went Ohio to Pennsylvania by
way of Florida.

By the sounds of it, usps is going crazy trying to get the new tariff systems
in place, I know that your packages weren’t international but maybe they have
been diverting resources to work on that leaving the rest of the system worse

On another website I cannot link to, there’s a whistleblower video of a USPS
employee saying they often run out of floor space in their distribution centers
and when that happens, the employees just start moving bins of boxes onto any
available truck, to clear up floor space. That’s why packages are being sent
on “world tours” before eventually arriving several weeks late. This information,
combined with information presented in the USPS Inspector General report that
I also cannot link to about the Richmond, VA RPDC (distribution center) stating
that 20% of employees call out daily (call out is a term they use for unscheduled
sick leave), combined with open source intelligence on another website I cannot
link to where USPS employees teach each other how to optimize their unscheduled
leave with tips like, “when you decide to take time off, make sure to do it three
days at-a-time because the union contract stipulates a 3 day leave is only counted
as one incident” and “make sure to only do this once per quarter, because doing
it more often than once per quarter will result in being written up” all of this
contributes to a sense that:

(1) USPS distribution centers are chronically understaffed, because

(2) Their employees are burnt out, and

(3) Routinely take unscheduled time off in unscheduled 3 day increments, in order
to

(4) Not get in trouble for taking unscheduled time off, and

(5) When this happens, every day, when 20% of the workforce is missing every
single day at the distribution centers,

(6) The remaining employees shove tons of boxes onto the wrong trucks, so that

(7) Those boxes are no longer in the aisles, creating a safety hazard, and

(8) That’s why so many packages are delivered late.

My, that’s a lot of sites that sell LEGO!
I wouldn’t have imagined the USPS Inspector General would publish their report
only on eBay or some adult website.
