    USPS Priority has sucked this week. I have literally 4 packages that have sat in their origin destination since Monday morning. That's 4 days they haven't left the post office they were delivered to....and this is coming from NY, PA, and CA so it seems to be spread out through the entire country.

    If you are expecting the USPS tracking site to have anything remotely resembling real time information as to the location or status of your package, you will, in a word, be disappointed.

    They are notoriously notorious. Hence the joke of the check is in the mail. Good luck all. This too shall pass.

    Got a Dutchware package today. Took one day longer than usual but the USPS tracking system was on it all the way.

    I am positive that Dutch is to blame. I wonder what the USPS investigators will do to him once they find him?

    It seems like we have had this discussion in recent history. I know UPS rents trucks from a major vehicle rental company, this year the number of trucks rented is about half and they waited about two weeks longer than normal to take custody of the trucks.

    The goodies I ordered last week were delivered to someone two blocks away, similar name, same house number, different street name. Yipee. Hurry up and wait.

    No Fear! Ive been using USPS for years and they have never let me down. I just noticed that deliveries were running a day or two later than usual. Also noticed some changes in the 3 post offices I use, people being moved around.
    But hey! change is good, right? right?

    Well, my package is still lost in Philly. It got there on Tuesday early and was supposed to be delivered yesterday. It appears to have entered the ether.
