I don’t collect, but I have my father’s stamp collecting album from when he was a kid. It has some 3rd Reich stamps as well as stamps from countries that don’t exist anymore.Missed that left turn at Albuquerque...
I collect too, BTW--but Germany. My sig pic is in Heidelberg, where we were at a show.
Exactly correct. Mine left the local post office here in Virgibia for a 30 mile trek and it only shows Left Post office Dec 22nd... Called and told it will be there shortly?? They don't even list where it is...How can they even tell me that? That was 3 days ago. Nothing has changedCurious if others are experiencing major delays. I have never experienced delays like this and it's not greeting cards as they are flowing fine. Talking packages, including mailorder pharmacy medicines. I'm just NE outside of Columbus OH.
1. A package I ordered, shipped 1st class, was at the Ballston NY PO on Dec 1 and currently is sitting in Rochester since Dec 4.
2. A package I shipped to go to Annandale VA, book rate, went Dec 7 to Cincinnati and departed Pittsburgh Dec 14 at 1am with no further update. Frankly I didn't expect much with book rate but it is moving faster than 1st class mail.
3. A prescription from a mail order Pharmacy in Cincinnati was delivered to the Cincinnati PO on Dec 7, where it remains at this time.
I don't care about 1 and 2, but the prescription IS a major issue.
The USPS says this: ALERT: USPS IS EXPERIENCING UNPRECEDENTED VOLUME INCREASES AND LIMITED EMPLOYEE AVAILABILITY DUE TO THE IMPACTS OF COVID-19. WE APPRECIATE YOUR PATIENCE AND REMAIN COMMITTED TO DELIVERING THE HOLIDAYS TO YOU.
I do understand the dilemma that they face. People not visiting so mailing packages instead, but there seems to be some issues with priority.
Also, this is all BEFORE the recent nor'easter came along.
Perhaps, a bit of an answer to my own post...my son called before I got this posted and he thinks the distribution of vaccines is contributing to this.
Same here but what I will say is everything I ordered from Amazon Prime that was shipped USPS was delivered with at most 1 day delay. Seems like priorities are in play hereCurious if others are experiencing major delays. I have never experienced delays like this and it's not greeting cards as they are flowing fine.

My kids have birthdays in late November but my in-laws didn't visit Thanksgiving this year so they mailed presents. They mailed them around November 20th and we got them Monday January 4th. We couldn't even use them as Christmas presents because they got here so late.I sent three bill payments on 12/19 and they still haven’t arrived. Christmas cards were sent from SC to Hbg area on same date and arrived on 1/2! The postal service is terrible.
I had a similar tracking history on a package that just randomly showed up today. So don't give up.I'm thinking I should start to be concerned...

Agreed. I had a package that was scheduled to be delivered on December 14th and was in transit ever since, it was just delivered yesterday afternoon. I think they're getting through the backlog slowly but surely.I had a similar tracking history on a package that just randomly showed up today. So don't give up.

Stamps.com shows that a package for me was mailed from Washington state on December 20th. It arrived at a distribution center here in NEW. JERSEY. on January 3rd. Since yesterday, January 5th, the status has been “IN TRANSIT, ARRIVING LATE”. 🙄
For all of the shit they get, Amazon's delivery seems to be the one that is holding up these days.
I had boxes that didn't get delivered on time, so went to Post Office to bitch. Kid came back with a print out of the tracking and it was extensive, yet nothing was showing on the tracking history online.
Almost all of my Amazon deliveries are made by the USPS.
EMC, I had boxes that didn't get delivered on time, so went to Post Office to bitch. Kid came back with a print out of the tracking and it was extensive, yet nothing was showing on the tracking history online. He wouldn't even let me have the copies as it looks like if you want the in depth tracking you have to pay extra for it.
Which center? Newark is a shit show. The only facility that I've heard is operating close to normal is Trenton.
Jersey City
Amazon Prime? Everything on time. Things ordered from anywhere else? I've had them lost and had to reorder. It's nuts.Same here but what I will say is everything I ordered from Amazon Prime that was shipped USPS was delivered with at most 1 day delay. Seems like priorities are in play here

Probably no better. Even before this shitstorm, I regularly saw packages bounce from Newark to Jersey City, and finally to Kearney before being delivered to me.
Received a Christmas card on Jan 5th with a Dec 11 postmark.
I’ve seen that too. It’s a mess.
What if scenario:
A local PO employee reports Covid or contact with an infected person resulting in mandated quarantine for large number of location’s employees. Non-regular staff are advised to put mail on trucks to any another PO for sorting due to no one to do it at this location, or else, it sits as space and time allows until staff is out of quarantine (10-14 days).
Even Amazon Prime isn't flawless. Though their issues tend to be the delivery drivers.
Feb 28th, I called my buddy in Carthage Il to let him know I received his Christmas card that day. He said he mailed it about 2 weeks before Christmas.Curious if others are experiencing major delays.
