Bimini15 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2021 Tell me where it is here in Florida and Iâll go grab it for you...đ I find it hilarious that mail coming to Florida seems pretty fast getting here, including packages that actually belong in Michigan. As for USPS, I canât remember details, but, I am pretty sure I heard something about politicians screwing with the postal service years ago. No surprise there. I remember people complaining that something was passed which was going to eventually choke the USPS in favor of UPS, FedEx, etc. It sounded far fetched, but maybe we are getting there now...

Poopdeck 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2021 They have done so well with mail we should put them in charge of other facets of our lives. My monthly bills are all late right now, that's a good thing right. maybe not but at least I haven't seen my MasterCard Christmas bill yet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2021 Lets not get into politics here remember we have a zero politics rule on this site. With that said, as someone that used USPS for my rod business from 2003- till June of 2020 I can tell you that they have never been great when it came to packages. I honestly think that this past year as well as Christmas rush has simply shined a light on the fact that they never have been able to competently handle a truly large flow of packages properly.

Bimini15 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2021 Ok on zero politics rule, but saying that politicians pass some laws that are misguided or sometimes plain stupid is not a political statement. It is the objective truth...! đ  Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2021 I'm still waiting for a few things, I think maybe 5 things now? But that's down from the 20+ I was waiting for. And the blank was for an order so that was important. The other things are my own personal stuff so not quite as important as the other items I was waiting for at least.

MuskyFlyGuy 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2021 I am doing a service project for our chapter of Muskies Inc, by building 70 inline spinners to be given to youth participating in our events. Basically double 8s with 1 4/0 hook and double 10s with 2 7/0 hooks. I ordered them on 1/13 and am blown away that they arrived today. Lure parts online filled the order and got it from Springfield, IL to Minneapolis in two days, using normal delivery. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bimini15 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2021 Ha! Merry Christmas to me, I guess...! It took 4 days for the Collins package to get to me, from New York to South Florida. Today I received a Christmas card from Huntington, MD postmarked on December 20, 2020. Go figure... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
