Noticed the #mortgage payment wasn't coming out of my bank account. We mailed it April 26th. Mortgage company got it today, May 14, said it was postmarked April 30, waived late fee.
#PostOffice said it went from here & got shipped to another postal center & processed then sent to another center & finally back to the local post office
Our mortgage payment was late because the #USPS is screwed up
We use a small-town mortgage company so we either drop it off, mail it or have to set up auto pay to do a bill pay, which, mails a check via our bank's bill pay anyway. So, we bypass the bill pay and either take it in or mail it.
It won't be a problem come October because the mortgage will get paid off!
Wow. And #Ebay is not refunding this (or rather, the seller is not refunding and ebay is sticking by the seller). The seller provided "proof of delivery", which is that tracking information.
I buy tons of stuff through ebay, under the assumption that when shit like this happens, I get my money back. I guess if that's no longer true, I'm no longer an ebay customer.

My guesss is de Joy doesn’t give a flying fuck. His job is secure given the makeup of the office responsible for hiring him is Republican in its majority.
TIL: perfume is considered a "hazardous material" by the USPS. (I mean, I always thought the same in general, but you can't mail it without special packaging/declaration/etc.) #perfume#postage#USPS
I ordered some tea from Massachusetts on the 14th. It made its way to Salt Lake City where it was last seen on the 17th. And now it is in Rochester, NY. That is more than twice as far away from me as Salt Lake City. #USPS, what are you doing?
Dear #usps
Our household waste pickup day is: Thursday.
In order to further optimize the operational efficiency of this household we request that all bulk and standard rate items be delivered only on Wednesday. This will enable the items to be placed directly in the recycle bin once it has been brought to the curb, preventing any need to carry it from the mailbox.
Thank you for helping us help you properly and efficiently dispose of your unwanted standard and bulk rate items.
Regards,
The Eyrie
Can someone please explain why Biden has not removed #DeJoy from heading up the #usps ? The US used to have the most admired postal service in the world and DeJoy is determined to destroy it.
Tired at the end of your shift? Just write “recipient not home” on the “sorry we missed you” note, and go home. (For best results, hand deliver the note to said recipient before going home)
Scanning old photos tonight. Here's the US Postal Service bicycle drill team holding some kind of event. My granduncle, Paul, is in the background with his arms crossed.
@anianimalsmoe I thought UPS was bad. I was expecting a package to be delivered to NY and for some reason it got stuck there. I purposely changed my delivery date on their app to the next day. For whatever reason they sent it to TX and then back to NY and then delivered it.
@ai6yr any idea what charger plug they are using? Given the pace of change, it would be nice if they could charge anywhere vs get relegated to only at their base.
And the wonderfully plodding nature of fed gov plus postal vs tech speed 😆
@pixelpusher220 Ah, very good question... knowing the federal government and how contracts are written, it's probably the wrong charger standard and custom, rather than an industry standard!!
A little hack I learned about the #TestToTreat tests that come from NIH through #USPS:
If you have an apartment or unit number and you place an order with the apartment or unit number in the main address line, then you place an order with the apartment or unit number in the second line where it is supposed to go, they do not recognize it as the same household. You want to go ahead and use a different email address as well.
Don’t come at me, I really wanted the combo #Flu/#Covid#Lucira tests and they told me I couldn’t have any because I ordered Covid tests in the last run of Covid tests from USPS. The arrived today.
• The Save the Post Office Coalition has called on President Biden to nominate former Representative Brenda Lawrence and policy expert Sarah Anderson to the USPS Board of Governors. These are two public servants who will bring critical perspectives and expertise to the USPS Board of Governors –- exactly when the postal service needs it the most.
Over 500,000 USPS workers face a potential last Christmas at their sorting facilities due to DeJoy's austerity plan, which slashes jobs and consolidates facilities despite bipartisan criticism.
So, now that delivery season is on for real, we have put out our annual basket for the delivery folks.
I’m thankful we’re able to do this - we’ve been doing it for a few years and it definitely gets used by the various package delivery folks!
@_L1vY_ It’s a pretty even duel in our basket between the water, Gatorade and the ice coffee. I’ve been tempted to toss a Dr Pepper can in there and see how long it lasts.
Note #DrinksManufacturers : we have sponsorship openings, please contact me at this web zone!

#USPS allegedly ignored its own heat safety programs & manipulated official records to hide those actions ahead of unrelenting summer of extreme heat that killed scores of people across the U.S.
@GottaLaff SCOTUS ruled in 2020 Seila Law, a 5–4 decision, the Supreme Court’s conservative justices ruled that the president may fire the director of CFPB striking down the rule that she can only be removed “for cause”
the court held, the president must be able to fire her for any reason. Unitary presidential power suggests he can fire any member of the executive branch including all federal agencies.
Dems never use their power.
I think this was NOT written on the one-day Strike day, so it is OK to share.
Postal workers not allowed to use the word "Amazon."
Remember that USPS is a self-supporting entity. They probably make a lot of money from Amazon deliveries, needed for their bottom line. But that does not excuse missing mail or delays.
