I sold a heavy vintage mohair sweater on Poshmark to a pesky buyer who kept asking for discounts. I finally gave in and sold at discount but without shipping discount.
She is a 15 minute drive from me and her package would not be going to the sorting center in Phoenix. I figured it would be delivered within a day or so.
Shipped on Dec. 18. I just received notice it will be delivered today, 1/4. It has been sitting at my post office for 16 days...

Not quite as bad but that reminds me, I have one that is going to Tolleson AZ (priority mail). Mailed on 12/26 (same day as the other package that's sitting at Tucson sort facility) but at least it didn't go to Tucson. Seems so ridiculous that an in state package would take more than 2 days to get to where it's going..

Just FYI, here, our in town mail still goes to the sort center in Denver & then comes back down here.

Local area mail stays local here, usually next day delivery. It is very seldom that anything sells locally for me but when something does, I usually will check the tracking next day just to make sure it was delivered. This package showed no movement from my post office until it was transferred to hers. It could have been misplaced or set aside by accident.

It doesn't here & it doesn't where my mom lives in AZ. Used to, til they closed the local sort centers. Now, if I mail a local bill, I have to allow a week.

Local sales come in waves, had someone in Chandler purchase something Saturday. She noticed shortly after that I wasn't far away. She ended up swinging by Sunday morning, who knows how long it would have taken if I mailed it. From what I've noticed, under normal circumstances in state is always one day delivery.

I stopped checking tracking numbers a while back, looks like most things that were mailed mid December got delivered except for one from the 12/12. It's going MD, went to CA then travelled around TN for a while and now it's in MS. Grrrr. Last scan was 1/3. Then I got a whiny message from someone last night that bought something, mailed on 12/26. Their package should have arrived on the 30th, going to PA. Processed through a Tucson sort facility on 12/28. No updates since. I managed to be pleasant but it wasn't easy. PA is a bottomless hole right now. Today & received last month's Wawa gas bill. I received the newest Wawa bill the other day. Still missing a ton of stuff...

I am freaking out a bit about my December estimated tax payment. I mailed it on the 12th and it still hasn’t cleared. For reference, I mailed my September payment on 9-15 and it cleared on 9-22. Hoping it clears soon and that there was a clear postmark on it so they know it was sent on time.

My mom is in TUC & she said they got rid of the local sort center & all her stuff goes to PHX & then comes back to TUC. She's not a very reliable narrator though. I believed her b/c our mail changed that way when they got rid of our local sort center & I AM a reliable narrator LOL.

It may have changed as we used to have an inside drop box for any local zipcodes that started with the first digits 863. They removed it several months ago. Because we are a fairly small town they may still separate local stuff because of the smaller volume of mail.

Mail has been going to crazy places due to cargo capacity - it's cheaper to just re-route a pre-sorted container of mail than to fly the plane without a full cargo and hold the container until there's room on another flight. It just gets forwarded.
We've kept all of our sorting centers, and they've pretty much given the finger to DeJoy and his master, including refusing to give up their machines. There's just no way anything can be closed here as we run pretty close to capacity as it is, with the amount of freight we have coming through the ports (probably an advantage to being a Pacific rim port).

I have an incoming package stuck in Cincinnati (I'm in a Cincinnati suburb) and an outgoing package stuck there as well. Last tracking on each of them was January 1.

I just had a case opened for something I mailed on 12/24. It was scanned at my local PO and that is it. Got a snippy note from the buyer that the item was a gift for an autistic kid and she wants her money back because its not coming. SHe wants to buy from someone else. I responding and said its on its way, please give it a couple more days. I can tell this isn't going to go well. She's only left 4 feedback and 2 were negative. I have until the 11th to refund her and she's going to have to wait until then.

I ordered something myself that was sent priority 2 day from Maryland two weeks ago today - still hasn't arrived and no scans since leaving the MD sort center.
I mailed an Ebay sale to Ohio - apparently it didn't like the cold weather and took a little sightseeing tour to Mississippi first. Maybe stuff wouldn't take so long if they didn't send it on a road trip around the US first.

I'm hoping if she negs me ebay will remove that. Most of my buyers have been nice. I've still got a $150 item stuck in Indiapolis since 12/23. It was mailed 12/12 and sat at my local PO for 11 days. That buyer contacted me a couple of days ago and said he'd give it a little more time. Something that had been stuck since 12/5 got delivered today. That buyer contacted me 2 days ago and was also nice. I really hope this thing gets moving. Ebay gave an estimated delivery date of 12/29. It was mailed 12/24. So ebay estimated it to be delivered in 2 business days. Its a first class box. That is crazy.

Ebay will remove any negative feedback related to shipping and or late deliveries. I had one removed in the the beginning of the whole USPS mess without any problems. I didn't even call, I emailed or instant messaged (it's been about a month... I forget) but it took about a day for it to disappear.

The last quarterly tax payment it sitting here ready do go. Was going to mail it today but decided to wait. Hopefully things will get back to normal in the few weeks. Why not just sign up at www.eftps.gov/eftps/ and make those payments electronically? Easy peasy. Enroll as an individual using your social security number and your bank account. The IRS does not keep the bank info on file (there is a third party gobetween) but one can always open a separate account that is used for tax payments and even just online bill paying. I just signed up and have an enrollment number but it looks like I need to wait up to seven days for a PIN to be emailed or mailed before I can make a payment. Baby steps.

The PIN is specific to your bank account. So if you ever change bank accounts, you'll need to get a new PIN.

This message is from Tim. Sounds like he's insinuating that I'm at fault because I didn't send his package via FEDEX or UPS. Grrrr. It was mailed on the 12/26 going to Bushkill PA, no updates since it was processed through a Tucson facility on 12/28. A missing mail search was opened. Not sure what else he expect me to do. I've communicated all of this to him. Sigh.
Hi thank you for your response last time in my experience with the post office as I do own a business as of late when it’s stuck like it has been especially in the same sorting place this long the package is either not coming or lost where I had to file claims. The main issue is I need this here by the 12th of Jan for a birthday for my daughter. I would like to find a resolution to this problem but I know the post office has been no help and phone calls for a three hour long wait time ends up no where also. I will try and wait it out a bit longer I know it isn’t your fault but at the same time frustrating cause I normally order from ppl that deliver ups or fedex with the current issues with usps. Don’t know if you can find out what’s happening to this package but any info would be appreciated thank you

He made a purchase knowing USPS is a mess and then is upset with you because it hasn't arrived. That sounds like the one I had yesterday. She was sure it wasn't coming. She lives in MA and last night it was scanned at a sorting center in MA. thank goodness!

A d!pshit opened a case on my little id for a $45 item that was mailed on 12/22 and has been stuck in Greensboro NC since 12/29. She's in VA so no surprise. That's the second one on that ID, first one was over a month ago and arrived without any issues. Hopefully tracking updates on this one soon. Still no INR requests on my maid ID. My reply to the case was somewhat direct, maybe even a bit short. Not long after she closed it

And my poor buyer from Dec 4 is still waiting for her book. I guess, since she bought a religious-type book, she is inclined to be more forgiving.
