USPS (international departure)

[pew pew]

I was surprised how bad this mail works
they send packages to other states, loses
do not returns packages to sender (when the expiration date)
are they really that bad or am i just lucky?

usps has always sucked, both before and after the us government "gave them" 117 billion dollars of our money

I generally only use USPS for domestic mailings and deliveries.

If you look up neoptism, political favortism/ favors, cronyism,corruption, ineficency, and uber lazzines, defending and producing constantly the worst actors all together, it means you just looking for one word terminology, the USPS.

Bad.

Sent a few items to Europe through USPS and all were originally held in the US because "reasons." Once in Europe, items went missing in Germany (weight decreased in 2 stops) and the rest of the packages that remained looked like trash by the condition they were in.

All items insured. Investigations went on for months. They eventually stopped responding to my emails and never received the insurance money back.

Every carrier has experienced this. It is not only USPS.

omg who would do such a thing?

My experience with USPS was actually pretty decent thus far, but the way they route packages through very many logistic centres is a tad weird to my European mind.
First and foremost, it takes forever and goods change hands too many times, introducing unnecessary space for error and corruption.

I once ordered something from California to Germany.
Instead of USPS just forwarding the package to the next air freight base of DHL (a subsidiary of the German Post), letting the package take the next-best plane to Germany, they decided to let the package travel I-40, making it take a break in every state's hub on the way to the East Coast, only to have it take a DHL plane from there.

And it wasn't even cheaper than mailing the bloody thing through DHL directly.
USPS could've easily made a quick buck, by taking the thing to the next-best DHL shop and book a much faster parcel delivery for ten bucks less than they charge.

USPS, like every state agency, I find it quite reliable but very slow, expensive and inefficient.

Even when I order something from another European country, It usually goes something like this: Branch Office→ Local Hub → International Hub → Destination Country

And the same backwards for the destination country. Sometimes, it even goes straight from local hub to local hub - changing countries and operator without even ever seeing an international hub.
Absolutely hassle-free experience with delivery times usually under less than a week, sometime even just three workdays (except for the French Post of course) - across an entire continent, at an affordable price!!

Criminals.

Duh.

My postal carrier in the middle of my tiny Illinois time sucks butt. I've lost important packages, I've lost important letters, and I sent my brother-in-law a package, with all the bells and whistles, and it disappeared for a month. I could have driven to the postal service distribution site, gotten my package back, and driven the rest of the way to Texas, then it would have been less time than I spent on the phone trying to track my package. With a tracking number.

If you suspect your mailman doing something like this and since the USPS is a federal agency, couldn't you just report your suspicion to whatever agency is in charge of investigating possible crimes committed by USPS agents?

I dunno, I’ve never attempted to avoid tariffs by abusing the USPS before. So none of this has ever happened to me.

Happened to some people I know who did though.

[Raelic]

I have no idea what ya'll are on. Even when I was out of country USPS has never failed to get my packages or mail delivered. And I was an adult before email became normal.
