KeymasterJust want to share and see if anyone else has had similar experiences…
So, I recently ordered an item on line from a VERY reputable merchant. Someone I’ve done business with repeatedly. I often opt for Priority Mail partly for tracking and partly because I am an impatient guy. So that is what I did this time.
Merchant notified me on Tuesday July 9 item had ‘shipped’. I know well enough that this means the shipping label had been printed and package had to be ‘received’ by USPS. Regardless of location and merchant, I’ve become accustomed to USPS sometimes taking 24 to 48 hours to ‘receive’ item into their systems…
Before going further, I will say forthright this is in fact a load of crap by USPS. I know supply chain technology intimately — although I am now retired, I spent quite a few years as a consultant even internationally dealing with supply chains… But I digress.
Bottom line, for a FULL THREE DAYS USPS tracking INSISTED they had not received the package. I checked with the merchant, who I believe based on past experience. They confirmed the package had been physically transferred to USPS by the wee hours of the morning of July 10. Which in fact USPS failed to shows in tracking history for a FULL THREE DAYS.
Miracle of miracle suddenly on July 13, in the wee hours of the morning (yes, before dawn….) package showed up in my local USPS Regional Distribution Facility.
By 11:38 am on July 13 USPS showed package delivered to my mailbox….
The issue of course is USPS not logging the package in immediately on receipt; not moving the package immediately. Despite Priority Mail paid for…
USPS SUCKS!
What say all y’all?
