UPS has really been dropping the ball lately. Currently have two packages that have been “out for delivery” since this last Wednesday.

For all the badmouthing of USPS

How about getting rid of the absurd pension requirement forced on them by Republicans clearly designed to kill the USPS and sell to corporate America?
they operate inefficiently and spend more than they can make. It is not matter of raising prices only. It is matter of operating efficiently. Which they cant, because they are managed stupidly.
UPS and FedEx have both been terrible for weeks. In fact, I typically had far more problems with FedEx than I ever had with the Post Office even before this lockdown/pandemic. I haven’t had a single FedEx package delivered by the scheduled delivery date in over a month. I’m currently waiting for a FedEx two day package that was originally scheduled for delivery on 5/7, then 5/11, and, when I just checked, is now scheduled for 5/14.
If I had a choice, I would rather use USPS 100% of the time.

this is cliche nonsense and does not capture the entirety of the issue
sorry i could not sum up entirely of fucked organization, in one sentence. Maybe this article will satisfy your bollocks.
USPS Reports 3Q Results: Rev Flat, Costs Up, All Volumes Down
USPS reports for FY 2019 Third Quarter revenues flat, costs up, all volumes decline.

We used to get pretty good delivery service from UPS and FedEx. Many times quicker than original delivery quote.
Now, orders are taking WEEKS to arrive. Not always sure if it's vendor delays, postal service, or combo's of both. It's getting to the point we may just go to Petsmart again and pick up our dog food/treats there again like we did a few years back.
Seeing major delivery delays from all sorts of online order products now. UPS, FedEx and yes old fashioned USPS.
USPS is suffering more than ever due to a major pull-back in junk mail advertising. That's a huge percentage of income for them.

issues are the results of legislative mandates that are implicitly designed to
sink the USPS
Long time ago, USPS was legislatively hobbled to allow for the rise of alternate carriers...the powers that be didn't want to break it up like Ma Bell, but wanted to give the upstarts a bit of breathing room to grow and thrive.
For better or for worse, these regulations are part of the reason why the USPS has been losing $$$ for a while.
Rise of the internet bill paying, well, there goes more income.
So, let post office raise rates to profit making level (and by-pass govt approval requirements), cut out the corporate welfare for the other companies, and see where that takes us in 10 yrs.
Or not. Law of unintended consequences could make for a nasty mess with this plan.

kekoa's dad Tony, my classmate from Ewa Beach Elementary School and a great SC goofy foot, was a couple years ago, one of the oldest active employees at Honolulu's terminal annex. Good guy and a great family. We all grew up together on the beach fronting SC as beach rats. The dad worked hard so his kids could surf for a living. We just did it for fun and comraderie.
Also allot of those internet bill payments like checkfree etc, end up as check and lists at your local USPS to go to a bank lockbox somewhere. It's all smoke and mirrors.

9:45pm and my UPS packages didn’t show up again. They’ve been listed as “out for delivery” since Thursday.
Why is the USPS not running efficiently? Government intervention with their pension system
Why are UPS and FedEx not running efficiently right now? Government intervention in closing storefronts and terrifying people into not going to stores
Despite the rise of eCommerce, this Wuhan virus is proving that our supply chains are not there yet to support a totally non-storefront/brick and mortar paradigm

UPS is still dropping the ball.
I finally got the packages in the original post after 5 days of being “out for delivery”. Now I have an additional package that’s been “out for delivery” since Tuesday. At one point earlier this week UPS sent me the link to track the delivery on a live map. I looked at the link and lo and behold the truck was two houses down from mine. I walked outside thinking today will be the day and the Brown Truck was two houses down just like the live map said! The driver returned to the truck and started driving my way only to keep driving on by. WTF!?!?! Now I’m still waiting.
Meanwhole USPS hasn’t missed a beat.

Still waiting for a package that's been "out for delivery" for 6 days now. The package origin is Ontario, Ca about 45min away. And it's been in the hands of UPS for a full week now.
Despite being considered an essential service, UPS has no live customer support due to covid19.
And the USPS is the problem?
