Another USPS story

I mailed an oversize pop-up Christmas card from Oh to Fl. Sent it out 12/09/24, with extra postage determined at the post office. Cousin just got it today, 01/22/25. I didn't get tracking on it, beginning to think they should call that fee 'protection money'

Better to be early than late.

Dejoy is only looking to piss postal customers off. That way they become so angry at the service - they join the lines screaming to privatize the USPS. Mission complete.

De Joy is an utter failure.

The problem—Real Story from My Town in Cape Girardeau, MO—is that the Post Office did not get Snow tires this fall, and when we got Snow, 30 Letter Carriers got stuck. How Smart is it not to care about mail delivery? Louis DeJoy was installed at the Post Office, and the
dismantling of USPS resulted in fewer mail processing centers and 1/3 fewer employees. How can they deliver the Mail?

Sounds about right from the day-to-day items we read about.

Friday

way down in the Gulf of Mexico states, with the warning "Processing Exception, Regional Weather Delay".

Trouble is, it's 55 degrees there, with a few showers.
