    I'm a clown because the US Military surrounds many of its bases w Golf clubs instead of un improved land?

    I am really struggling to comprehend you links (no pun intended) between this and the Postal Service other than youd rather see the Military controlled land be non improved and mowed by some Somolian union guy making $35 per hour...

        People are cheap. Free shipping is going to have problems. Remember these rules of business and life and you will never be disappointed. If its fast and good it WON'T be cheap, if its cheap and fast it WON'T be good, and if its cheap and good it WON'T be fast. Spend a little money to get your stuff where it needs to be and use UPS, DHL, FedEX to get your stuff there and stop being a cheap ass.

            I sell stuff online too so it’s more of a hundreds of dollars of difference in profit over being cheap. I’d prefer Fed-ex but they and ups are pains in the ass to ship from where I live. Fed-ex is liable to use usps too. But ya if you have one thing use Fed Ex. Haven’t had problems with usps priority until recently.

                              This is true. Had some jerseys ordered for nephews on 12.12.

                              Still not here. Tacking says at facility...and "out for delivery" for like 8 straight days.

                              The post office and USPS in general is finished as a business. If you support the model you basically are just for subsidising underachieving employees, hiring quotas, bad budget mangers and a horrible union that faces zero actually accountability or competition because it's the government- despite what Rudy suggests.

                                    ^^Rudy don't waste your time with these clowns. You have a clue..

                                    Liberal Trump haters will always hate even when he's long gone. Even when Biden screws up in the future and Trump is long gone the fake news media will still blame him for everything that goes bad. That's what they do.

                                    It's in the fake news and GOV swamps DNA to auto hate Trump and continue to blame him for everything that goes wrong in the future. Watch..

                                    Blame game is the swamps go to calling card always!! Well gender and race card is really their calling card. It's all garbage. Forget about being a nice human being in life on the inside as it's all about race and the color of skin now with the Democratic party. Fake racial injustice crap also.

                                    Jibs keeping it real.. Ugggh I hate posting like this.. People just don't understand what is really going on in this world we live in.

                                        The true price of a stamp, if run properly, is $0.20
                                        Because unlike fedex and ups, we deliver to every house every day. We also deliver several packages for ups and fedex (called the last mile) where it is not feasible for them to deliver to from a logistics stand point..they pay a cheap rate to pass their parcels onto us...we deliver ups on Sundays, we go to far out rural areas, etc..Some routes have almost 1000 delivery points a day.

                                        Oh and the argument about whether we are government or not.. technically we are "quasi-federal" employees. Look it up.

                                            Free shipping/cheap shipping is why this thread was started in the first place. Everyone who dealt with the postal service and delayed delivery mailed their item the cheapest way. Amazon uses the postal service because no one else will put up with Amazon’s demands on Sundays and delivering bookshelves, mattresses, grills, etc at a loss. For profit delivery companies want no part of that shit. If UPS had the Amazon contract, Amazon Prime would be 100 dollars a month instead of 15.

                                              Folks are steaming mad at the post office on talk shows.

                                              Wuhan Virus is the given bug-a-boo for the death crawl that is holiday snail mail.

                                              Folks will not change their ways and will always procrastinate until the last minute.
                                              Priority Mail is NOT guaranteed to arrive in 3 days...simply a best case scenario.

                                              Variableodds and Stallion have the best advice when recommending FED EX or UPS
                                              for holiday (or any other day) shipping.


                                              As an aside, Dec 23rd, I ordered 3 separate items sent USPS. I was in no hurry to receive the orders but all three items arrived on Dec 26th. from Chicago, Orlando and L.A.
                                              I guess sometimes you get lucky.

Everyone who dealt with the postal service and delayed delivery mailed their item the cheapest way. Amazon uses the postal service because no one else will put up with Amazon’s demands on Sundays and delivering bookshelves, mattresses, grills, etc at a loss. For profit delivery companies want no part of that shit. If UPS had the Amazon contract, Amazon Prime would be 100 dollars a month instead of 15.

We also deliver several packages for ups and fedex (called the last mile) where it is not feasible for them to deliver to from a logistics stand point..they pay a cheap rate to pass their parcels onto us...we deliver ups on Sundays, we go to far out rural areas, etc..Some routes have almost 1000 delivery points a day.

                                                    Oh and the argument about whether we are government or not.. technically we are "quasi-federal" employees. Look it up.

                                                          I ordered a gift on 12/11/2020. Not here. I didn't get a choice in shipping but told yeah tough crap about the kid not getting his gift.

                                                          I ordered a gift that was shipped 3 day priority on 12/12/2020. Still not here. It took 6 days to go from Tempe, AR to LA, the last time it was scanned on 12/18/2020. I sent an email and got a call from my local post office basically telling too bad, so sad, and screw you. I mean, you have 1 job. Deliver stuff that people pay to send. If you can't do that, then you need to be fired. The end.

                                                          So count me as 1 of the pissed off people with the USPS. If and when I have to re-order my sister's gift, I will ask the nice lady who made it to ship it any other way than USPS. If I can not give them any business ever again, I am happy with that. Just shut them down and fire them all.

Their volume doubles at the holidays, and with Covid this year, it likely is 3 and 4 times the usual holiday volume in December. They had no chance to succeed this holiday season. USPS hires thousands of "temp" workers just to throw packages in the sorting facility during regular holiday seasons.

                                                                    I can't imagine how much mail/packages is piling up in the biggest hubs. Eventually, they will catch up but it'll take a couple months.
