I buy and sell things online on secondary platforms. In the last two months, the USPS has regularly taken three weeks or more to deliver packages that are supposed to arrive in two to five days.
Today, nineteen days after shipping it, a package I sent to Texas was delivered to a buyer and the contents had been completely destroyed en route. The buyer demanded a refund through the secondary platform, it was granted, and my claim on the insurance was denied. The package had taken more than seven days to arrive, which voids the warranty.
Not all that surprising the USPS posted a $6.5 billion loss in 2023.
There are still faint glimmers of civilization left in this barbaric slaughterhouse that was once known as humanity.
