Anyone else waiting on USPS

From Vermont to Portland , Oregon . Small flat rate priority box . Feb. 18th to Feb. 28th . Maybe here in a day or 2 . Guess that truck cannot go fast enough to get here in 3 days :D
 
Multiple packages ... all running late. Some by about a week or two, but some MUCH worse.
I have one package that was shipped about a month ago, still sitting in the same distribution center since Feb 6th.

I will say that USPS has been mostly AWESOME for me in the past. No problems during the holidays of 2020 at all, then suddenly in February 2021, everything is a complete mess. Very strange. Must be the weather event combined with internal/procedure changes causing the inefficiency.

USPS has been pretty poor for a while now. About 70 percent of most of my mail comes late, sometimes up to a month.

Even more fun, is it now takes about 45 minutes standing in line to get to a counter.

Fun times!

Haha! Indeed, it is a ZOO. Avoid the counter at all costs. I have reverted to purchasing postage online or at a self-service kiosk ... then place it in the secure drop-box, and get the heck out of there as fast as possible.
 
Big thread already about this on going slow down here: https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/postal-packages.1762660/

This has been an issue since October in my experience. Most of my packages have been late since then. A good many of them by 10 days or more. One first class package took 30 days.

Currently I have a 2-3 day priority package out of Portland, OR that is going to be at least 9 days if it magically gets here Monday. Current status is "Arriving Late".
Well, the package from Portland did magically get here on Monday, so only 3x longer than it was quoted but at least not 2 weeks like most packages I have had go through that distribution center! Not sure how USPS can be quoting 2-3 day priority times when they know it will take much longer certain places. I had another package out of VA (knifecenter) get here a day early though, so there is that. Interestingly enough, when I sent a package to VA a few weeks back it sat at a distro center for a week. Go figure...
 
I've had several packages this month delayed between 6-12 days
with just place of origin scanned,then nothing. Eventually all arrived
 
Still nothing here... Ordered on Feb 13th. Everything else ordered been arriving in 3-4 days. I'm guessing the knife musta went thru Texas and got froze to the windmills or something....
