OK USPS, care to explain this?

If a package is going from MI to MO, what’s it doing in MD? This gets especially weird since it was allegedly already in STL MO, the city in which it is to be delivered, before being sent to MD. Is it doing a tour of all of the states that begin with the letter ‘M’? It’s done almost half of them already. I guess I should check later to see if it ends up in MS, although I would expect it to hit MA and ME before it gets there (I’ll just leave MT and MN  out of this...)

They’re smoking crack or something. I have a battery on order from Houston. It went from Houston to Dallas to Coppell (TX) to Massachusetts ?!? I know for a fact that they have trucks going between Baton Rouge and both Houston and Dallas. I used to work near the main post office and saw the trailers. Massachusetts? Really?

Are our packages earning frequent flyer miles? Yours makes even less sense than mine...

I do actually wonder how much having passenger aviation drop off a cliff at a time when people are buying more online has affected air mail/freight?

If you are lucky, somebody just got confused. I wouldn’t put it past them to try to key in Maryland Heights and get Capital Heights Maryland.

I was just thinking that ‘MO’ was written sloppily and looked like ‘MD’. I used to work in Maryland Heights and had my parcels shipped there, but that was nearly 5 years ago; I live in the city, so nothing would be labeled as going to 63146.

At least UPS admits their mistakes

Ha, that’s nothing. I posted two parcels on the same day at the same time and location on the 1st of May, both parcels weighed the same, bar 20grams, both going to the same location (it was quite a bit c heaper to send two parcels under two kilos, than one big one) . One finally got delivered to an address in Kentucky on the 18th of May while the other has sat in the Chicago depot since the 8th of May.

That’s refreshing, and something I’m OK with - mistakes happen. It’s a different story when you get shit like this:

‘No Access’? How is there no access when you delivered two other packages, as well as my regular mail, to the same location on the same day? It’s a catch-all excuse that doesn’t mean a damn thing and just infuriates the customer.

Interesting - we have been having problems getting packages from my sister-in-law outside of Detroit. Stuff seems to get stuck in, or misreported out of MI fairly frequently...

The USPS truck that typically carries large packages is separate from the mail carrier, that happens half the time. The mail carriers will deliver packages below a certain size.

USPS is just like the honey badger - it doesn’t care. Grandma ordered my son a large blanket, got a notice saying it was delivered. I check, nope. Wife asks if I checked the mailbox. Scoffing, I say there’s no way it would fit in mailbox. I check. Yep, lazy mail carrier must have taken a plunger that jam that thing in the mailbox. Our other mail was wadded up in the back of the box. It literally would have required less effort for the carrier to have walked it to our porch. Heck, if the carrier had a decent arm, probably could have chucked it on our porch from the street.

Wouldn’t it be great if we could ship packages and earn miles?

I know there are several facilities where mail is being rerouted through other facilities because of the amount of packages they are receiving is larger than their capacity to sort them. We also have had a few facilities with numerous employees off due to the virus and generous leave being given due to that as well.
