Historic mail delays nationwide have made customers wait patiently for their bills, paychecks, and potentially life-saving prescription medications.
Such issues might have been expected over the winter holiday season, but even in the month of March, Americans are still seeing the U.S. Postal Service beset by continuing delays in delivering the mail.
Last week, Postmaster General Louis DeJoy apologized for those delays in a testimony before the House Oversight Committee, but attributed many of the problems to lack of financial stability and resources—later claiming that the postal system is “in a death spiral.”

I am doing my part to collapse the post office. Paying all bills either by bil pay or credit card. Asking spam mail to stop.
Sending family money through internet apps.
I haven’t bought stamps in months and haven’t had a need to yet
Crap...cut out Saturday home deliveries and devote more resources to actually “back office” processing of the mail. I’m beginning to think that some of these “delays” are INTENTIONAL and designed to get more money.
Three separate UNIONS- the counter people, the letter sorters in back, and the letter & parcel carriers.
The contracts are juicy, and covid excuse abused beyond belief. They took off for “covid” and still got paid the “stimulus”. Lot’s not at work.
The postmasters? A demonrat fiefdom of largesse appointments- totally out of sight of the regular voters- a “machine”.
That’s just for starters.
But, they SURE didn’t miss when delivering unattributed MAIL IN BALLOTS— which the dems screamed for extra money for delivery. THEY STARTED THIS current mess adding to all of the above.
Mail was terrible after TG.
But, I think it’s getting back to normal now.
Xmas season mixed with this fake hysteria nearly ruined some of my mom’s bills. We also had work done in Dec andthe business called after NY to ask if we’d sent payment. We had just before Xmas but it wasn’t there yet.
I’m still pushing mom hard on getting bills out real early (if she gets them timely). Luckily both her car insurance were received in time.
One of the few things that the federal government is actually suppose to do according to the constitution and they still screw its up. My guess is that they want to privatize a lot of it so some people can get some money. I’m sure libertarians might support it but considering how well big business supports free speech I think I’ll stick with the USPS being part of the government.
“Why Am I Getting My Mail So Late? USPS Needs Money.”
I’m not sure what this person is talking about.
I get all of my JUNK MAIL right on time. EVERYTHING I got in the mailbox yesterday...I threw away.
They don't need money, they need dedicated workers. There have been recent days when a carrier doesn't even come down my street. Other days I will see a carrier sitting in his or her truck talking on their cell phone for up to a half hour or more.....
Other days when a tracked package shows out for delivery but it's never delivered. Maybe the following day........
Thank goodness for Bill Pay, else I would be late on most bills. Me thinks there are still 2020 ballots floating around. /s
An AT&T bill dated Feb 14 finally arrived on Mar 2 with payment due by Mar 5.
The USPS is getting as bad as AT&T.
This guy claimed that when monitoring the diplomatic, political and economic situations in other nations, the decline of a country's postal system was always seen as the first sign that the country was going to collapse.
Heck, even our tithing is monthly auto-bankdraft. We're getting into Heaven on the installment plan. 😁
Wouldn’t be affirmative action hiring strategies, would it?
Our post office hub in Richmond Va is apparently the worst in the nation for theft.
all this “we can’t work COVID” bs is just government workers doing their jobs even worse than usual.
UGH.
But UPS or Fedex is not much better.....
Not a big fan of unions, but the carriers do get a lunch break. They don’t get paid for it. Some sit in their truck and eat.
It’s a sign that a country’s infrastructure is falling apart that’s for sure. Politicians would rather spend our money on bombing people and then sending those people billions of dollars over fixing anything in America.
I got my water bill yesterday. It was supposed to have been out 3 weeks ago. It was already 5 days late after the grace period.
Over a decade ago I converted most of my ‘incoming’ to online/email. I had noticed the PO would typically lose 2-3 pieces of ‘known’ mail every year. I had no idea how much ‘unknown’ mail they were losing.
With online, I get immediate notification. When I pay online, I get almost immediate notification of payments received. Most entities seem to prefer online payments.
Sometimes I will go a couple of weeks or longer and not receive any PO delivered mail. Three-fourths of what I do get is usually ‘junk’ mail anyway.
Now, since the virus scam and the bulls#@t mail-in ballot con, it’s like they have a green light to totally work when, how and IF they want to!
You will not even see Walmart checkout clerks as indolent as postal ‘workers’.
