The reason the USPS is going broke

[DAM shop]

This amazes me, I want you to pay close attention to everywhere it was on the 22nd :wondering this was for a seat cover. The reason we ordered from this place was because of the close proximity to where we live.

USPS is horrible, they shouldnt be in business.. I see that all the time. To compare i ordered a package from Bangkok, Thailand that only took 2-1/2 days from a business to my door, Now thats great service. DHL
267654

and no its wasn't a woman.;)

[ironchop]

I'm about to post my current tracking on a few packages.... Is almost as absurd as yours, DAM

I feel like they are doing this on purpose. You just can't be that inept. It gets worse every year, year after year. It's got to where I told Weezy the other night that I'm avoiding buying things from people who ship USPS because of all the hassle

[oldskool83]

One day Amazon will deliver mail in tesla EV buggys....just watch.

[ironchop]

This thing just disappeared into the Memphis Postal Hub Abyss and I haven't seen it yet. BTW, PA is northeast of me and Memphis is southwest of me. Figure that one out. They drove it right past my house, 4 min off I-65

The next item was just a couple hour drive south of me, and then it's in Houston Texas which is 13 hrs south of me, and then it's all the way back to Bowling Green.... So Joe and Judson, your t-shirt is going around the country before it gets to my house. Next time, I'll just make the two hour drive to Jackson and have coffee with y'all so I can wear my shirt on the way home.

It's ludicrous at this point. I got packages from KS, WA, CA, LA, and MI all within four days all shipped within a couple days of these other packages

Did you order one of those "dolls"?? :lol:

Leaders with private corporate interests are trying to destroy it. We're back a 100 years or better to needing to enforce antitrust laws. That just doesn't apply to this topic, but is a serious issue with everything in the US right now. Off topic, but something else to think about is - It's not federal, and there's no reserve.

Connect the dots...

That's is just crazy. For what it's worth, any cross border transactions I've done between USPS and Canada Post have been flawless and without the BS broker fees courier companies charge. Hard to believe your domestic delivery system is so messed up.

Finally arrived!

My t-shirt got here, the other thing is going to live in Memphis I guess

THIS^^^^

unfortunately, we are trapped in a political stalemate between the party of "muh, free, unfettered, unfair market!" and the token socialists who are owned and beholden to the very people guilty of the biggest monopolies and the worst AT law breakers, and yet their "constituents" seem oblivious to that irony and hypocrisy

In other words, they are on the same side as the other, the one opposite We The People

Give them a break, mail delivery is just a cover for a government subsidized spy operation.

https://nypost.com/2021/04/28/usps-admits-to-spying-on-americans-social-media-posts/amp/

It’s really brilliant when you think about it. Ammo, chemicals, hobbies and interests all in one tidy little data base.

Remember the adds in skin rags that claimed “not even your mailman knows”? They lied.

https://www.infosecurity-magazine.com/news/usps-reportedly-uses-clearview-ai/

So if you look at the second link it seems they are putting together a data base to link your Internet images to other activities. Nice.

If you posted anything negative here I assume you can expect your future deliveries to be lost or damaged.

The f-ed up shipping mishaps don't cost them extra money, the trucks are already driving to all of these hubs. It's not like they are sending a special truck out. The problem is, in no particular order: excess wages and compensation, under-funded public pension funds that need to be propped up, money losing bulk shipping rates with the likes of Ebay and Amazon.

IIRC the Postal service was meant to be self-supporting through the fees for shipping and postage. As usual, once the government and unions got their fingers in the pot it went to sh!t via the issues mentioned above.

Again, as usual, once the free market started doing what the USPS couldn't do for cheaper, and/or brokering money losing bulk rates with the USPS, the USPS was made an obsolete operation. Nevermind the fact that it's been losing millions or billions for decades, as some of us old farts already know

YMMV

I could be wrong on all of the above. Fvck if I know. I'm jus' sittin here sippin' my Bailey's and coffee:D

I just wanted to pop in with a rant since I ain't seen most of you peter pounders in awhile :naughty::lol:

Hope everybody is having a nice holiday weekend. Don't forget to thank those who gave all for our freedom!

I respectfully disagree. The IQ of the average individual could fit under a pregnant ant.

I've become so intolerant of just plain general ignorance and stupidity I'm to the point I just walk away from f'n idiots now for the most part. And it's not just younger folk, Some of the adults I know in my age range, 50-60, seem to have completely lost any sense of intelligence, reality and common sense. It's unf'nbelievable.

I'll concede to you on this point.

Prior to 2020, I would have argued that the general public was just a ilttle smarter than that, but the events of 2020 have convinced me that there are a ton of stupid moth******era out there with ZERO critical thinking skills and ZERO confidence in their own brains apparently. I used to think this was predominately a "leftist" thing where you think with your heart or think like you are told to think instead of using your brain, but no. It's no longer confined to any one demographic anymore.

Nothing surprises me now. This is why I no longer have faith in voting. Even if it's properly counted in a fair election, my informed vote gets cancelled out by the idiot next door who buys what the mainstream news is selling. My informed vote is worth the same as the vote from every clueless moron fumbling their way through their empty lives.

People don't want the truth anymore. They just want a reason to be outraged so they can post their "support" in their profile pic and make a few meaningless posts on the topic and then go masturbate to their own reflection in the mirror in between expressions of fake outrage (as a way to feel relevant)

Good to see you

[Scootertrash]

May I subscribe to your newsletter good Sir?:lol:

As usual, you hit the nail squarely on the head. It's disgusting how so many people need recognition, validation, and acceptance from strangers on social media. I don't have a FB account, the wife does, mainly to keep in touch with long distance family. I do use her account for marketplace from time to time. Every so often I will do a little political sh!t-posting just to kick the hornet's nest and stir the pot. Pushing the Karen's buttons entertains me, but alas, I'm simple minded. I've pondered joining nextdoor for the same reason, but more importantly to keep an eye on a few newly arrived citiots in case they start complaining about hunting and shooting in our neighborhood. If they are going to bring up restrictions to the city/township I want to be able to attend the meetings.

It's good to see you too. Hope things are good for you and your family.

El, if you read this, it's good to see you as well, and I hope things a good for you south of the border!

In my 20+ years marriage, my wife and I had 1 late payment on a credit card and it was all on us. We just overlooked it and didn't pay it on time. We had another issue with a check to the pest control for the termite policy that turned out to be a bank error.
But in the last 6 months, we had 4 late payments between credit cards and house payment. Since we are old-school, we still send checks in the mail. Mailed them the same time we've always mailed them. There is 1 common denominator.....USPS.
No help from the credit card companies on waiving the late fees. "You can pay online to avoid this" was their response.

I hate using online because all your information gets out into the "internet of things" but what else do you do? It's already out there so I guess it's time to just change with the times.
They finally got us, we are paying online. I guess we could just pay off the mortgage and start buying prepaid Visa gift cards for online purchases. Switch to cash for all in-person transactions.

Any other corporation with this kind of performance (service and expenditures) would be out of business in no time. But no, like every other government operation, it delivers a product/service well below amount of $$ it costs us taxpayers. I mean, hey, every Tuesday I get my junk mail so they deliver something. But the ratio of $$$:service is pathetic.

[sweetip2000]

Hey man you are not supposed to think. I have a better one for you. I returned an item to a merchant who sells knives in Virginia. I am from NY. It sat in the Virginia post office for one month with out it ever being scanned or delivered so I called up management with a complaint. USPS found the package and delivered it to a PO Box inside the post office where it was lost and they closed the case as resolved because it was delivered (to the wrong address). I had the opportunity to speak with the post master in Virginia on the phone as he would not email me ( I had delivery status notification enabled and have proof he opened and read my email) which he said he never received. Upon speaking to the post master all I could envision in my mind from hearing his mumbling voice was a terrible thing. I envisioned Lance Link Secret Chimp as branch manager of a pack of monkeys that couldn't even do a good job if I bribed em with bananas. I hope they sunset this poor excuse of a delivery system as it is without a doubt the epitome of willful ignorance at its finest.

Ya'll are lucky they knew where your items where.
My tracking stopped for 15 days as they "lost" my package, ( I called dispatch at that hub, I ask how could you loose a large black shrink wrapped atv seat?) they said "COVID got it"
I was the buyer of the seat, the insurance would have paid the seller, I had already paid for the item and for the shipping through the seller.
Had there been a claim, I could have been out of luck.

It all worked out, I finally got my seat, just stressful
