Your shipping wrecks. USPS,FED-EX and UPS

Well the e-bay USPS shipping has fallen apart, and the e-bay Fed-Ex is not much better......A 4000.00 CD player missing for 20 days by USPS, A box of 50 fuses , says delivered , but nobody knows where ???..........2 cartridges and a headshell...delivered today, but nobody knows where ??........You put a tracking number in Fed-Ex all it says is late delivery, and never tells where it is.....So be careful with Christmas Presents..........The only way I can track USPS is go to the Post Office ans have them track it, if I track it all it says is late arrival......

Do you see a problem here?

Privatize the US Postal Service and the 50 cent stamp will cost $5.

The USPS would be profitable if not for the fact the GOP Congress required them to fund future pension liability 30 years out, a requirement no other organization suffers.  Could be fixed fairly easily if the will was there.

This is multifactorial.  Holiday rush, COVID making everyone buy online thus double if not triple the usual business, etc.  A single administrative policy or change in leadership could easily slow things to a halt in times like these.  I'm sure just about every UPS worker is doing their best to get everyone their mail and packages on time.  For goodness, we have had 2 Amazon drivers arrested in our area for throwing packages out of the truck because they realized they couldn't meet their delivery expectations.  Everyone is stressed.  Producers, orderers, and delivers. Happy Holidays to you all.

I want to state my support for the USPS. Chronically underfunded, yet essential for so many communities. FedEx really seems lost, they used to be the gold Standard. I am impressed with UPS, they have really stepped up. Overall, most folks I have dealt with in shipping have been doing their level best, even where there has been failure.
In a previous life, I had a lot of experience in international shipping in support of a globally ranging scientific drill ship.
