914World.com _ 914World Garage _ USPS shipping

I know many here use Pirate ….for those that don’t….just got an alert that USPS is changing their delivery “expectations”. Pretty sad …..but guessing they are just catching up with reality.
My last two Priority shipments disappeared. Tracking yielded nothing.
Tried filing claim and that was a bust.
Just reporting my experience……and the service warning.

I use USPS flat rate shipping exclusively. Usually pretty good except when going international. International packages often get hung up in customs.

Recently had a small flat rate box with a flasher relay disappear. Sent a 2nd one successfully. Filed a claim with USPS and receive a check covering shipping and item cost about 2 weeks later.

Claims can be hit and miss with ALL carriers. 99% of the time YOUR box was NOT Packed properly is the carrier reply.

USPS has gone from OK to really bad. First class mail can take weeks or not get delivered at all.

Just last week my local post office misplaced registered, signature required mail. They eventually found it but the incompetence going on there is off the charts.
