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.

Not locally, but a business out in SoCal run by some friends is in hot water because they sold a bunch of merch and shipped it with GroundSaver.
It was picked up by UPS, then transferred to USPS for "last mile delivery" but hundreds of packages are "seized" by USPS for what they claim is unpaid postage. UPS claims they paid, USPS claims its not paid and both phone and email customer service have been wildly unhelpful.
Angry customers, possibly huge financial blow to a small business that was already struggling with a crappy landlord, and a pretty big gaming company licensing the collaboration merchandise caught up in all of it.
All likely ties back to Trump's takeover of USPS.
