Tim W. SoCal Posted July 14 Posted July 14 (edited) 3 hours ago, Monty said: Several hours later, a USPS Jeep was out making other deliveries in our neighborhood, so technically they made it the same day, but given the size of this town I still don't understand how that happens. Carriers fill their delivery vehicles and most of the time have parcels left over that are left at the station to be loaded and delivered later in the day. (I've seen carriers reload for their route 3-4 times in a day) The Postal Service is VERY strict on overtime, so what may have happened is your carrier worked his 8 hour shift without completing his deliveries and a part-time helper or a carrier that requested overtime finished your route.

TonyK Posted July 17 Posted July 17 Realized I never got my credit card bill in the mail. I pay online but this means someone out there gets to look at everything we bought, etc. Nice job USPS! Never did get my July issue of Motorsport so that's somewhere out there too. The very nice people with the magazine sent me a replacement.

It might truly just be lost in the mail (like getting chewed up by a sorting machine), so it is possible that nobody actually saw what was on the bill. I think that scenario is more feasible than someone actually stealing the envelope. 1
Dave Van Posted July 17 Posted July 17 Small package left LA CA Thursday night, in my PO BOX in WV Sat 0800. That's pretty much overnight. ???????

I think that scenario is more feasible than someone actually stealing the envelope. We had a letter carrier who constantly got the mail mixed up. I believe she got the axe 🪓 early this year. I put whatever I got in error back in the mail box with a post-it nite attached.
TonyK Posted July 29 Posted July 29 The credit card statement that I never got showed up in the mail yesterday. The bill was due on the 24th. Good thing I'm on the ball and paid it online like I do every month. I've got a parking pass coming for the upcoming Indycar races. Sure hope that arrives on time!
OldTrucker Posted August 11 Posted August 11 Original delivery date was the 6th, then the 8th, then the 9th and still waiting. Normally once to Indy a package goes to Champaign IL. the gets delivered here the next day. Instead it went to chicago, then Champaign and now sits in Palatine IL. on the north side of Chicago!

TonyK Posted August 16 Posted August 16 I get Motorsport magazine from the UK. Have had a subscription for so long I don't remember when I started it and the delivery had been just fine. For many months now I get the issues later and later. I'm lucky to get the current month in the current month. Example being this is August and I haven't got the August issue yet. Motorsport has told me they send the magazine out the same time that they always have so put the blame on the USPS.

Volzfan59 Posted Wednesday at 03:25 PM Posted Wednesday at 03:25 PM (edited) A friend in New Mexico recently mailed a Jeep model to me. Went from NM to Dallas, TX with a couple of stops in between that I don’t recall. Dallas to Little Rock, AR, great it’s in the correct state, 2 1/2 hours away! But wait, there’s more. For some reason it went to Fayetteville, AR, back to Little Rock, then to Tulsa, OK? Yesterday it left Tulsa for Oklahoma City. Haven’t checked it today. I seriously don’t get it, WTH? Think my ex-wife may be working for the USPS! 09/03/2025 update, it’s back in Little Rock! Edited yesterday at 04:32 AM by Volzfan59 2
Volzfan59 Posted 17 hours ago Posted 17 hours ago Happy to report that my 1/20th scale Jeep finally arrived!
TonyK Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago I went to the post office yesterday to mail a business size envelope that was a bit thick so knew a basic stamp wasn't going to do. The guy tested the size in a slot and weighed it and the cost was $1.90. Sheesh! Also needed 10 stamps for the wife to do her executor duties for her moms estate and was humored when the guy offered a few different colorful stamps. Didn't need anything fancy but came away with some hearts on a stamp. 🙄
