Cholla Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I ordered an M1 Garand part on eBay two days ago. It shows shipped First-class and the USPS has it in their care. The expected arrival time just updated (downgraded) to March 22nd. I have no idea when this will improve. At least now they are being honest...

Eyesa Horg Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Priority from Dillon shipped on Feb. 16. No tracking shown since it departed. Although it did go back and forth twice from Scottsdale to Phoenix and now vanished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I kinda look at it this way: it cost 50-cents to mail a letter. And a penny a day for service ain't bad. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cholla Posted February 25, 2021 Author Share Posted February 25, 2021 My wife told me UPS has issued a notice that the weather in the Midwest and Texas has everything stopped up. I assume the USPS is impacted the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Yep. Current weather is a problem Neither rain nor sleet nor snow nor dark of knight shall stay the postman from his rounds. Of course, the current Postmaster General is hell bent on dismantling the US Postal Service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Sun Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I received a box of 1000+ bullets yesterday (Wed 2/24) that had been shipped from CA on Monday (2/22). Went clear across the country in 3 days in a 23 lb priority mail box. The check that I paid for the bullets with took 10 days to get to CA in 1st class mail. Figure that one out.

El CupAJoe Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Here's a good one for you, I sent a package to SC on december 7th, on January 20th it was checked into Atlanta, It's still out for delivery... They must have been too busy stuffing ballots or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie MacNeil, SASS #48580 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 If you think USPS is slow, try UPS Mail Innovations. Not only do you get the snail-like speed of UPS, but then whatever you're waiting on gets into the clutches of the US Postal Service and it goes on from there...

Matthew Duncan Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 USPS is a dinosaur that has lived past its usefulness. The only reason (IMHO) it isn't extinct is because of the union donations it provides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLACKFOOT SASS #11947 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I recently got first class mail that was sent to me from less than 10 miles away. It took 41 days to make the trip. That was BEFORE the Texas freeze out. Blackfoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
