You mean the first class package I sent to the little girl down the street will now take 2 months instead of the normal 1 month. To funny
Should be faster now that they lost most of the large packages, they’ll have more room in the trucks. Also with the outrageous rate increase should free up the 2-3 people that had to lug the large packages around.
The airline industry has increased ticket prices by 20% as gas prices soar. There’s no money delivering letters at 0.58 cents…even UPS nor Fedex will deliver anything for 0.58 cents, so, I understand why truck delivery could be cheaper than air delivery.
However, my insured Priority USPS parcels are flying cross-country faster than ever…from West Coast to East Coast in 2 days. Even during this past holiday season, deliveries were very reliable.
For me the Post Office has been delivering my packages pretty quickly.
The price of a ticket has gone up also because the planes are full and they have gone up more than 20%.
