Comments on: USPS Won’t Confirm Reports of ‘Leaked’ Directive https://www.ecommercebytes.com/2020/07/13/usps-wont-confirm-reports-of-leaked-directive/ Ecommerce Industry News Sat, 18 Jul 2020 19:45:43 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.3 By: hunter_46307 https://www.ecommercebytes.com/2020/07/13/usps-wont-confirm-reports-of-leaked-directive/#comment-4512 Sat, 18 Jul 2020 19:45:43 +0000 https://www.ecommercebytes.com/?p=16324#comment-4512 What the public doesn’t know is what goes on in their local post offices. Not only do the postal carriers, rural especially, have their routes, they also have to deliver Amazon packages as well. Being COVID-19 is amongst us, that almost triples what is delivered. A lot of the carriers work on there own time so they can deliver all the packages the same day, even to impatient and rude customers who don’t give them any slack. Plus, especially in our area, houses are going up left and right, which adds to the mail route which takes an arm and a leg to get recounted. The carriers aren’t the problem. It is the management. As regular carriers don’t get overtime, so when your getting mad because your mail is late, the carrier showing up at night is doing that for free. UPS was delivering Amazon packages, but couldn’t keep up and it was switched over to USPS, plus the USPS delivers for FedEx as well, so, I think contracts need to be redone to pour more money into the USPS to bring more people on during this above normal time

This is not a joke. 1 and 2 day holds at the post office on almost every item I’ve left for a carrier or dropped off at a pickup location with a 5PM pickup. I’m not certain how screwing your customers on priority mail delivery is going to help your bottom line. People will get fed up and choose other services. Aside from cross country deliveries, FedEx has been lightnig quick on the East Coast. With the eBay discount this is comparable and sometimes cheaper. The only thing I don’t like about FedEx is paying later. But whatever.. another *****-based appointee (first PG in history without post office experience I read). All this nonsense will come to a close next year hopefully.

Most postal workers will carry the overload of mail back to the station. Nothing new. Only this time there are fewer workers and workers are getting sick, taking days off. If you want your mail immediately it’s probably best to rent a box.

How does that solve a situation?

What a short-sighted solution.
