I’ve had quite a few FedEx gifts arrive from rental trucks.

My daughter is a FedEx sorter. We are in the Tri Cities area. I've asked her about this because I see a lot of U-Haul and other rental trucks with FedEx magnets on the side of them. She said they're using them because (at least around here) their trucks are all tied up and they are bringing on new people all the time.

I’ve seen u-haul and the Budget rentals. They don’t even have the FedEx magnets on the side though.

My experience with the USPS has been very good over the years, with a few recent exceptions. There were UPS packages turned over to the USPS in middle Tennessee, where they disappeared for weeks. My current mail goes through Memphis. Instead of going to local delivery, one went back to Texas, where it originated. Another, fifteen dollar Priority Mail, was sent up to Detroit from Memphis, where it stayed for a few weeks before getting turned around.

Piss poor times are certainly a reason the USPS should be privatized and have to stand on their merits (or lack thereof)

My Dad mailed a package to me from Tennessee on the 22nd on a two day mailer. "Expect delays" but with an estimated delivery date of the 28th. Okay, 'tis what it 'tis.

Still not delivered with an estimate of today... maybe.

Almost 10 days on a two day package.

USPS had no clue how much extra volume Amazon ditching FedEx would create. Both postal carriers who provide service for me are working 14+ hours six days a week. Apparently some of the problems arise from the union contract and inability to bring in some “seasonal” support.

Bezos is so rich he should have his own shipping company for all that Amazon stuff

He plans to but as long as he can make more money using somebody else he will. FedEx was smart enough to not ramp up only to have him pull the rug out. Postal Union will probably negotiate a contract based on Amazon volume then see a disaster when Amazon Delivery is introduced. Of course Amazon Delivery will have minimal manpower expenses

It’s been like that since before Thanksgiving. Shameful

Had a package delivered on 8 December through USPS.

Just got it yesterday. Wife missed her Christmas present.

Well done USPS, well done.

I mailed a payment over a month ago that has not received and posted yet.

This is why I have gone digital. Got dinged so many times on payments not showing up until late, or never seeing the bill in the first place.

Now that Trump is gone, mail is super speedy. Mailed a package from Atlanta to Chatt and it arrived in 45 minutes.
