I just have to share my latest experience with the Postal Service. USPS tracking #9101901005007673938896

This is so sad it’s hilarious, I ordered a package on line the first week of February, well I still haven’t received it.

I got online last night to try and track it’s progress. Check this out.

Feb 11, shipped from Whitestown, IN

Feb 11, Indianapolis, IN – Departure scan

Feb 25, Kent, Wa – Departure scan (where was it for 14 days)

Feb 26, Everett, WA – Departure scan (why did it go to Everett – Must have taken a wrong turn, back to Kent)

Feb 26, Kent, WA – Departure scan (Bremerton falls off the map – Returns to sender)

Feb 27, Indianapolis, IN – Departure scan

I made sure my address was correct and it was shipped to my address, it just never made it To Bremerton. Bremerton must have moved on them. (No can find).

The postal service in Indianapolis lost it for two weeks.

Kent postal service couldn’t find Bremerton and so they sent it to Everett hoping they knew where Bremerton was.

Everett Postal service sent it back to Kent, Wa thinking you lost Bremerton, you find it.

Kent Postal service said, give up and sent it back to Indianapolis.

Now they want a raise. Gotta love our postal service.

Sounds bogus to me. Homes are demolished as well as businesses being closed. Along with the internet being used for email, it has also had a tremendous increase for internet purchases which USPS does a great deal of shipping (less letters, but more packages…more money). I have a real hard time believing you need more money, less days, etc, etc. Really sounds like a for profit organization to me…oh wait…it is, and the money again goes into the politician’s pockets.

WHAT?

No more credit card offers?

No more scams trying to steal my mortgage?

No more grocery ads, coupons, flyers?

No more personally identifiable information in a mailbox that, come on really, anyone can break into?

No more NetFlix deliveries?

SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT PLAN TO ME.

I wonder how a one day reduction in mail delivery would affect bills sent through the mail. Will there be a slew of late fees charged for a profit to the company? Or will any business that has to mail a bill ramp back and adjust their mailing days? What about the people that receive their Social Security and other government checks by mail? How will they be affected?

It sounds like such a little thing to close POs on Saturdays, but I have a hunch it’s going to be harder to do than people think.
