Snail mail is slowing down even further. The U.S. Postal Service announced Monday that almost a third of First-Class Package Service mail will take a day longer to be delivered beginning May 1. The proposed changes would include some speed upgrades—4% of packages will arrive in two days instead of three—but 32% of packages will see their service standard increase from two to three days, according to a USPS fact sheet.(Snip)The initiative is part of the Postal Service’s 10-year plan for achieving financial sustainability, called “Delivering for America.” “This action will contribute to our cost savings efforts and improve our reliability across all product classes

Don’t forget their most important theoretical tasks:
1. Determine which votes are for Republicans and ensure they arrive after the election deadline. Use special windows cut out of ballot envelopes, like in California to make that determination.
2. Transport extra Democrat ballots across state lines to areas with shortfalls and lose the extra shipments if they could be used as proof of election fraud. Especially between NY and Pennsylvania.

The only thing USPS should be handling is first class mail. No packages and no junk mail. They aren't fooling anyone with that 'financial sustainability' stuff.

US Mail should be a private business again! It will get everything done what it is supposed to do and faster. I guess this rotten mail is only good for bringing 1000's of illegal votes from Long Island to PA. Spying on Americans. Having extremely long lunches. Hiring people who can't read! Etc.....

Christmas cards arriving in April, is that part of the plan? I have known several people this has happened to during the past couple of years.

In many areas, FedEx provides airport to airport services to USPS for Priority mail, Express mail, and first class letters and packages.
I'm guessing it's going back to self sufficiency when able.

Where I live USPS is more reliable that UPS. Two things drive me nust about USPS: 1. The often don't close the lid on my mailbox. Is that asking too much. 2. I get lots of mail intended for my neigbors. My favorite deliversy service is Amazon Prime. They take a picture of you package on your doorstep and mail it to you. All you get from UPS is an email saying that it was delivered to your front doorstep.Apprently none of the folks I buy stuff from can afford FedEx.

The USPS is awful. Not delivering, losing, or throwing away the mail. Covid you know. I have started mailing from the UPS store. Otherwise, I do as much online as possible to avoid the USPS. I cannot understand why they are delaying their no service, when their volumes are falling through the bottom as people choose edelivery and online billpay. The USPS is also unreachable. No phone numbers. They have an account you can sign up for. Save yourself the drill, as they don't give you a place to state your problem or question, but have a dropdown box that suggest everything but what you want. Then the promise to get back to you in 7 days. Forget about that. You will never hear from them. USPS rating: Horrible. They should close it down.

My last package from the USPS had saddle bag sweat stain on it. I’m pretty sure it was an old mule. I took more than ten days to deliver a package from five states away.

Given that they can't track a package in the first place, how do they know how long it takes to deliver it? You want your package delivered in time for Christmas, mail it around Labor Day.

What about the three letters of mine you lost last December? Will they ever show up or are they still stuck behind some sorting station in Podunk USA???

Usps is a pension engine, period. Its an arm of the Industrial Junkmail Complex and Amazon, which relies on it to service remote customers.
Neither of those functions is required by tax payers. End it.
Ever try to get them to stop delivering junk mail to a second address no longer existing at your property? I'm. Possible. That was how I learned their true mission.

If you electronically track packages as all, you already well know the USPS is now knee-deep in documenting phony reasons for not timely delivering packages. They are like the VA in Arizona faking Veteran appointment statistics. All because, you can never trust government to do the right thing.

The key missions of the USPS are to spy on American citizens, fund their own bloated pensions, and deliver junk mail. The entire operation should be shut down.
