The USPS here in LA plays games with delivery status all the time. They routinely deliver a day or two later than scheduled, they will sometimes mark a package as delivered even though it hasn’t been (and then actually deliver it a day or two later), and once they even marked the status as “Held at customer’s request,” which was complete fiction (I requested no such thing).
All of this is a product of the fact that the USPS is woefully under-staffed, and it is a rare day that mail carriers will actually have enough time, even with a double or triple shift, to deliver everything that is scheduled for delivery on any given day. However, due to contractual obligations with certain companies (like Amazon), they must deliver “on time” or pay penalties, and so they lie about the status on a fairly regular basis to avoid them.
Clearly the current shipping rates charged to consumers isn’t nearly enough, and this situation is likely to only going to get worse.
Also got this from @Nocompromise ! I knew it was mint but didn’t expect it mint in box w/ accessories! Great packaging and shipping 100% will buy again!
Blue with brass ring Elite showed up after all-2 days from when it claimed ‘delivered’. When the tracking shows it delivered you have nothing to stand on if you go to the P.O.
These issues are national, it happens everywhere. But the USPS is plagued by a “it’s not my job” mentality as well as other issues. The understaffing issues are a problem, but there is a much deeper and longer-running ineffectiveness in management
The USPS is usually fine any other time of year. I think they just get so swamped around the holidays that it’s a madhouse inside those facilities. I don’t think we understand just how much mail our USPS pushes in a single day.
They’ve been playing delivery status games and delivering late for quite some time here in LA. It’s not just a holiday phenomenon. However, I do expect it to get much worse during the rest of this month.
Yea just haven’t been active anywhere lately and the rut did not help, neither does the decline of social media and their lousy algorithms (where I’d share my tricks) but that’s another long rant for another time This responsive/fixed axle style is starting to grow on me and can’t put it down.
