We were informed last week that all damaged cluster mailboxes are no longer USPS responsibility. HOA's will have to replace these clusters that belong to USPS at a cost $70,000 and up. Low life POS scumbags are breaking into them and destroying them faster than they can be produced and replaced. Meanwhile, our driver is sitting in his truck playing on his phone.

My wife died last year and I sent her handwritten cookbook and some photos to my daughter in Corpus three months ago. Priority mail box. Got to San Antonio then disappeared. Never got it and it was important. Unreal.

round and round we go where the package ends up who the hell knows!

friggin dumbarses, know I know why allison is the way he is, they apparently only hire idiots.

Not long ago I had a package get misrouted to Granbury instead of Mansfield, and the tracking actually said something like "Mishandled" or "Misrouted" before it ended up back at Ft. Worth. It was a day late. First time I had seen that actually written in the tracking status.

mine has just said "in transit to destination" that is how I know they f'd up.

what really sucks is there is no way to contact anyone in the p.o. and bitch.

they won't even take an email till tracking has not registered for a week or so.

(^^*&%$*& %(*&^(*I^& govt!

I just sent an email to USPS complaining that I received mail today even though my "hold mail" service was to start today. Within 10 min, I received a phone call reply from CS. She said she contacted the delivery driver, and he told her I had 4 items, but they were in a hold box at the office. I had to come clean and tell her I got my info from the "informed Delivery" email as I wasn't actually home. She enlightened me that I will still get the emails even though they were actually holding it at the PO. Oops, my bad.

had to do a work around, they won't even let me email them till it has no tracking for 24 hrs.

friggin idiots!

lot of problems in my area with stolen checks....they are breaking into drop boxes outside the post office and apparetnly there is internal theft by postal employees....I've had to switch to paying bills electronically because of slow delivery of mail was taking up to two weeks for checks to be delivered to both my Visa and American express accounts....apparently this is happening frequently because neither Visa or American Express charged me late payment fees...

I'm in an industry where I work VERY closely with USPS. They lose money because they don't charge NEARLY enough for what they do. There's a reason UPS, FEDEX, DHL, etc cost 3-4 times what USPS does. If you want premium service, pay for it!

I usually get good service from UPS and FedEx because I let them use my huge driveway to turn around in because they can’t get their big trucks in my neighbors driveways because of trees.

there are a lot of ex employees who will tell you the post offices's problems in our area started when they placed more hiring importance on diversity rather than competency...

USPS diversity hiring has been around for more than 30 years.

I did, this was a 2 day priority mail pkg

That's not the main reason they're losing money any more. Maybe 20 years ago, but not now.

There are international agreements for how much each country charges for carrying international mail. Because China, India and others are "developing" countries, the agreements with them mean the USPS has to carry their inbound international mail for almost free. That's why Wish, Temu, AliBaba, etc. can sell you something for $1 and ship it to you for free, when in reality just the shipping should cost something on the order of $12 or $15 for the smallest and lightest package. Basically, the USPS is paying 99% of the cost for delivery of Chinese consumer goods to US households. This is now causing a far greater loss to the USPS than any domestic mail service.

Any Chinese company can ship a 1 lb. package to any address in the US cheaper than you can buy a First Class stamp.

That old "cost of a stamp isn't enough" argument is last century thinking.
