USPS records delivery delays

@noromance

In general, for me, the USPS delivery times seem to be back to normal vs what we dealt with last December/January (and beyond). That was ridiculous. I know, as the Cleveland Distribution Center was an absolute mess with packages ‘stuck’ there for weeks, and was reported on the local news.

That said, I always cringe when a package has to through NYC/NJ. That always seems to result in a slow down, albeit better than before. I haven’t had to wait 2-3 for any media mail after it’s been picked-up. I have had a few sellers that notify me the package is ‘on its way’ and provide a tracking number, but in reality, it hasn’t or wasn’t picked up or dropped off for a couple/few days after the notice. That’s on the seller, not the USPS.

@bkeske Ironically, this is the only order that provided a tracking number. Five other separate orders mailed after this one arrived within five days.

Media mail is a highly discounted rate, I think they have 30 days before it is considered late. If you want it faster you have to pay for better service.

and I believe that you have that option to pick which way  you want it shipped ( media, regular, priority )....and you picked media to save a few dollars  which is perfectly fine.....but then dont complain when it takes longer than normal to arrive.

Media mail can take up to 4 weeks under normal circumstances. I'm a letter carrier.  I have personally waited 6 weeks for and album to be delivered to my home.   I'm sorry for your issue.
