Have you ever went to track a package from USPS and after entering the tracking number you read this at the top of the screen: "ALERT: SEVERE WEATHER CONDITIONS ACROSS THE U.S. MAY DELAY FINAL DELIVERY OF YOUR MAIL AND PACKAGES." Well, don't believe it.
I order stuff on a regular basis from a place in another state and it takes normally two days to get here.
The one time my order was only 60 miles away from me and it took three days to go 60 miles! What the hell? I got the message about bad weather, problem is, there was no bad weather in the whole state!
As of now I'm waiting for a package I ordered on 2/29/2024 and it's now 4/5/2024, that's what seven days and still no sign of my package!
Yesterday I stopped at our local post office to see where it is being entering the tracking number the same page above keeps coming up, no updates. So the guy at the post office looks into things and tells me my package is in Vermont. That means my package went through my state and is a long, long ways from where it should have gone!
So it comes down to the question, why can't USPS just admit they made a mistake and post or email me to let me know what happened rather than just blaming it on the weather? At least I would know what's going on instead of not having a clue where my package is at.
FedEx have done the same thing. The one time they pulled into the end of my lane, sat there a bit, then turned around and left! They came back the next day and the drive said someone forgot to put my package on the truck.
Another tid-bit of info. Did you know if you put mail in your mailbox to be sent and you put the flag up, the mailman doesn't have to pick your outgoing mail if you're not receiving mail! Nope, if no incoming mail is going in your mailbox, they don't have to pick up your outgoing mail! Even worse, this happened to me before and is how I found out about it. Problem is, there are three other mailboxes right beside mine! You mean three other people didn't get mail that day either?
