Usps is a joke!

The postal service is a freaking joke. I placed an order with Humbolt Seed Company and it took them 2 days to ship it... not bad. Then it took 4 days to make it from California to the state of Indiana, just a couple of states away. It sat in the state of Indiana for a freaking week and has been in transit to the next facility for the last 4 days now. I am sure it will probably get here but dang son! Just a few years ago I could order a package on a Saturday from Washington state, I'm in Pennsylvania by the way, and on Monday my package would be here. 2 days! Now it takes over 2 weeks! If that package had been shipped ups or FedEx it would have been on my porch a week ago.

I've got a book shipped UPS from California to Ohio and it's been 8 days, they now project a Friday delivery. All the delivery services are struggling with the volume created by an online shopping world. Services dramatically slowed during Covid, and have never returned.

Yeah I get it... but is that 8 days from date of order or 8 days since time they shipped the order. And 8 days is better than 14... and I still don't have an experienced delivery date. The last I even knew where my package was located was the 8th... so it left Indiana 4 days ago which is more than enough time to drive across the entire country... and it hasn't even reached its next destination.

I had a package ship from FL to Michigan. It made it to Detroit, then went to NJ, then to VA, then back to NJ, then back to Detroit THREE times! Finally got it a month after it was supposed to be here.

I've ordered parts from places that flat out tell ya that if you choose the USPS option of shipping, once they send you a tracking number, it's all on you if it doesn't show.
