Neither rain nor sleek or snow

[Gramps-Too]

What happened to neither rain, sleek or snow will stop me from making my appointment rounds. This use to be the motto of the US Postal Service. The mail I got was Jan 4, 2025 I had a package that was out for delivery Monday Jan 6th then I get a message about weather delay. Okay it was pretty nasty out & they weren’t doing a good job cleaning the roads. No delivery the 7th same excuse. I called Wednesday about picking up my mail was told it was out for delivery, we didn’t get a delivery. Thursday was a national holiday no delivery. Today it’s snowing but the roads are in decent shape I’ve been out. Haven’t seen a mail truck in my travels. During this whole time I have gotten Amazon deliveries & have seen UPS & Fedx trucks out. What if I’m waiting for my SS check so I can pay for mt heat, lights, food & meds, I’m not but what if. It’s not like I live some where that only gets snow once in a blue moon.

I’ll step off the soapbox & thanks for letting me vent.

I'm waiting on 5 packages. I think they are on vacation this week. Nothing is moving.

I thought that was just the norm where I live. I have never had such poor service. I've been there to pick up a package, and the guy wouldn't even bother to quit leaning against the counter while he said "it's here somewhere, we should find it today".

Well the area PO isn't looking to bad compared to what you fellas put up with!

The package that was out for delivery 1-6-25 finally arrived Saturday, the driver said they were only delivering packages Saturday the rest of the backed up mail would be delivered Monday

They're doing so well where I live that they usually take every other Saturday off. I think some are still on the "Covid" work schedule.

I ordered from Huma (Netherlands) on the 10th. They send me the UPS that says “could be delayed because of weather” this was after they created the label, before ups took possession
I look now, it’s scheduled for delivery tomorrow.

Today they had a package that was too large for the mailbox. Bring it to the house, and put it on the porch? Oh no, leave it on top of the mailboxes, out by the road, and hope that no one sees it, deciding they need it more than I do.
