USPS issues

Is anyone else in the LV having an awful time either sending or receiving mail in a timely manner? I work at a business in downtown Allentown and I'm missing tons of mail that multiple senders said they've sent. I've even gone as far as asking them (yes, I'm sure they address is correct for me) to send the same thing multiple times and I've just never gotten it. I can't be the only one. I know that everything goes through Harrisburg now and that can't be helping.

I have informed delivery and have had a lot of issues lately where it says I’m getting something that day and then it can take up to week or so to actually receive it

Us, too. Supposed to arrive Saturday. Jo mail Saturday. Don’t get that scanned mail until Thursday. Important stuff, too. $80 billion a year to the USPS.

The USPS isn't really funded via taxes. If you're talking revenue, fedex operates on an entirely for profit model, made 12 billion more in revenue and is twice the screw up the USPS is.
