According to their website it takes 13 hours to go from Kearney, NJ to TETERBORO, NJ. That is an 8 mile distance. 13 minute drive. I could walk that. In much much less time. Wow.
Wow. USPS really does blow balls.

Probably because the sorting center is, like, in Wilkes-Barre. Or Poughkeepsie. cn

i hate the usps because they kidnap my mail when i don't bring it in after about a week. i don't even want most of the stuff that gets sent to me. i asked if i could get a bigger mailbox and leave the mail longer and they said no.
they refuse to leave a warning notice before they take it. why is it they can leave a notice that you need to come pick something up at the office but not a notice that they are going to steal your mail if you don't bring it in tomorrow? how fucking hard would that be to just leave a note that if i don't take in my mail you will steal it?
it's none of their fucking business WHY i leave my mail out there. i shouldn't have to justify myself to them. it's MY mail that they came on MY property to deliver, and they put it into a box that I paid for with MY money, and they can't leave a warning? fuck them.
"tell it to consumer affairs" is what they told me on the phone (which i did). i met with some snotty supervisor douche at the main branch and she was very condescending. she explained to me like i was 3 years old that there's only so much room in the box before they cant fit any more. i reminded her that i offered several times to upgrade my box to one that would fit more mail, and asked her to explain why this was not acceptable. if i want to use a plastic trunk with a slot on my porch as my mailbox what business is it of the usps? she said that was not a "legal" mailbox. i've seen cow mailboxes out on the curb where you put the mail in the cow's ass and i can't use a big fucking box on my own fucking porch?
fuck the usps. fuck them sideways with a splintered telephone pole. let them go out of business. i'm determined to end all paper mail that comes to my house.

That would be completely understandable, now I am no mail carrier so all I can do is go by the website but this is what i am reading that kinda floored me.
Processed through USPS Sort Facility - Then departed USPS sort facility - Kearney, NJ
13 hours later...

I was like...wait, that is the same fucking state. Which was still understandable. Then I Google mapped it. Those two towns are 14 miles away from each other, lmao. 8 miles. I do more naked treadmill running than the distance between those places! And in much less time than 13 hours.
I guess I am just impatient

You're lucky. If your mail collects here the postal workers call the police to make sure no one is injured or dead inside.
Take your mail in. It's better than a visit from the po-po.

You are very wise to not deliver your own mail. Indecent exposure arrests are only funny on the Internet. cnThat would be completely understandable, now I am no mail carrier so all I can do is go by the website but this is what i am reading that kinda floored me.

So?
The fuck is that problem so big to cry about? I don't even live in America since a few years ago and I'd KILL for some good postal service like you appear to have. I got something shipped to me, and I had to go down to the central shipping depot and pick up a motherfucker because I had to pay bullshit import taxes first and then they didn't even want to deliver it to me. I have shitty post service... you have a lazy man's dream. Smile

holy shit. i bet that service has come in handy a time or two in detroit.
don't get me wrong. i understand why they want me to bring it in. i just feel like since i've been going through this with them bi-annually for the past 5 years at this same address that they should just stfu already. i've had the same mailman that whole time. for him to act like he thinks i moved or am dead is completely absurd. last april he scolded me through my window because i called the office to complain that he took my mail and i fucking lost it. i'm not going to be talked shit to by some bitch in tight shorts. he left when i started using my squeaky voice. i just think that's nervy.
i am so completely beside myself that they won't just leave a warning notice. hell even a post-it with a frown on it would be something. this is just a lot of bullshit to go through when 90% of my mail goes straight into the recycle bin. there are services that will not allow me to go paperless and force me to receive mail from them just to do business with them. i don't want the shit. i'd much rather press delete in my email box.

USPS has gone down the shitter since the layoffs, the guarantee delivery date is more like a rough suggestion if it even shows up at all, the tracking sucks and employees are stealing stuff left and right I had two packages stolen carrying glass pipes for tobacco use only (all completely clean) that totaled 1100 bucks. They were sent as fragile express mail to fill a shops order and never arrived costing me money and much grief with a good client

i'm waiting for a package via usps.... according to the tracking number, it got picked up and sent the opposite direction from me for processing.... and then, nothing. 8 days later, no package, no further updates on the usps website.

It's gone man that's exactly how it happens, hope there wasn't anything green in there, and by green I mean gummy bears, if it was I wouldn't freak about cops because they would have shown up by now, for your gummy bears of course

no, it was just a regular old package. (ebay purchase)

Oh Chronic, don't worry, I shed no real tears for this tiny tiny issue. I just enjoy venting once in a while, especially regarding the arrival of my beans. Hell, 2 times a summer I would visit where my dad grew up in Mexico and enjoy heating sponge bath water on the stove (also doubled as disinfecting the water) and dumping water buckets into toilet to flush. I understand we have it better than many other yadda yadda yadda and thats the end of that.
BUT, mystery solved. I do not even think it was the USPS, it was fucking ATTITUDE. I was at work and thought, hey what the hell, I will check the status...maybe it is even on the way!
Status: Delivered
Sweet shit!
Location: Paterson, NJ
....WTF?!
I think I might have gotten the wrong tracking #...either that or there is going to be one very surprised individual after work. Emailed ATTITUDE and hopefully my stuff gets here or I at the very least sort it out.

Wow, its pretty early for a /facepalm but alright.
So in response to my email requesting my actual tracking number, THE ATTITUDE responds with this:
Hi there
rder No. ################
(Filled in with my details)
Invoice address
Recipient name
Many Thanks
The Attitude
Nothing about my actual tracking number or the fact that my package, if it is the right tracking number, was delivered 5 states away. Hmmm...
