How does the US Postal Service do it ??

[Yoder409]

I can NOT figure them out................

Last week I bought a call out of NJ.  It took 8 days to come 300 miles via Priority Mail.

Tuesday I sent out 2 of my longbox holsters.  One was going 180 miles.  The other 540 miles.  The 540-miler was delivered today.  The 180-miler is still in transit..............

Huh ?

Anyone work at the P.O. that could shed some light on this ??

I don't work for the post office but I am a ups driver and wish I could post a picture of my truck every day for the last few weeks, minimum 12 hours a day, no one shops at a store anymore!

Amazon is taking over the world

Amazon and wal mart, the other day I had a package from wal mart that was falling apart, inside was 4 bags of charcoal, any of you carry 4 bags of charcoal in your arms up to check out!

I live in NE Missouri about 100 miles north of St Louis .  Ordered
Something from
Cabelas that shipped from Wisconsin . Went from Wisconsin  to st louis, st Louis to des Moines ,back to st Louis then to me. Package passed thru my town 3 times before I got it. Efficiency  at its finest.

I think they turn left.

I work for the postal service and you are at the mercy of FedEx or DHL or other air line freight in the middle transit.

This isn't the time of year to expect something to arrive quickly! 

[Yoder409]

No matter WHAT time of year, one would think that 180 miles would be delivered faster than 540 miles.........

Dunno......

[Yoder409]

Update:  I guess when you go from western PA to West Virginia via Washington D.C. it'll be a while.......................

The 180 mile package STILL isn't delivered.......

I work for the PO.   And the package volume is insane.   Not counting the Amazon delivery.   It will get there.  Ride with me on a route and you'll understand.

I don't work for usps , but I do work for ups ...I'm my nearly 27 years of working there I've never seen anything that can compare to what I've witnessed this year
..and we haven't even got to the last 2 weeks the worst part, we ussully see a 12 %increase over L-Y (last year) this year 17 ...we are completely slammed ....my word of advice if you have anything going crosscountry ....order it right now , Monday or Tuesday may be too late

They have the ups driversion including myself working 70 hour work weeks including. ...Saturday and they are saying sundays...

I'm sure usps and fedex are slammed real good too--shannon

You have two shippers killing it for every one else. Walmart and amazon are flooding the market. Even with the big three moving the freight it's still to much to handle and will only get worse.
