I sent a Moparts member with whom I've dealt for decades a check using the good ol' USPS last week for some parts. The distance between us is about 500 miles and the letter still hasn't arrived 5 business days after putting it into the system. I don't ever recalling mail taking that long for such a short distance (unless it never arrived at all). Is the USPS really this slow these days? Thx

Using the USPS is a crap shoot. I've had packages that sat in hubs for up to two weeks without movement. But I'll continue to use them. If I have a problem I can talk face to face with a real live person. Try that with FedEx.

It is going to get worse. Right now, if you were to mail your neighbor a letter, the letter goes through the closest major city, that has a machine that scans it for illegal chemicals, powder, etc. Your letter is then sent back to your local Post Office before it is sorted out to send to your neighbor. Right now there is one or two of those machines in each state. Moving forward, the Government wants to isolate those machines down to 3 for the entire country.

In all honesty I personally have not have any issues for quite some time now. USPS has been good to me. You are one of the few lucky people. I live in a small rural farming town, few thousand people. About a year 1/2 ago, I had to renew my dog's yearly license. Instead of just taking the license renewal to the local court administration building, I was lazy, and just mailed in the $15 payment through USPS. My payment was NEVER received by the city! U.S. mail lost it! And NOBODY at the post office would do anything about it! To this day, it is lost to the ages... lucky it was only $15.00.(I did put a stop on the check) And then I had to go over to the building and pay in person, the money...like I should have done in the first place! Silly me for thinking I should have trusted the U.S. mail, to do their job. Moral of the story... DON'T trust USPS with even a small thing like this.
