    @AlaskaBecks No UPS, USPS or FedEx for me. In town delivery or nothing for me!

  • USPS down? Current outages and problems (20)Dog Lover (@BusterEugene711) reported

    I do not recommend shipping with @UPS. they use @USPS as a sub contractor and good luck getting your expensive package. This is the 4th package lost. Horrible customer service #horriblecx

  • USPS down? Current outages and problems (21)Alloicious (@Alloiciouss) reported

    @USPS USPS service performance remains high with 93 percent of First-Class Mail being delivered on time....Never mind those pesky security cameras showing carriers lying about delivery / redelivery to ensure proper service performance is "on time".

  • USPS down? Current outages and problems (22)Alicia (@AliciaVanae) reported

    @AmazonHelp Ensure that they do not need to schedule a delivery. This is horrible business practice. Every single time we have utilized USPS when ordering an Amazon package, we seem to have a different problem. And the customer service doesn’t make us feel better.

  • USPS down? Current outages and problems (23)Mistress Molly 🍭👑 (@MistressMolly77) reported

    The fact that @USPS robbed me of over 1.5k worth of jewelry and refuses to issue my insurance claim is wild to me. Their employees can just rob you and no one does a thing.

  • USPS down? Current outages and problems (29)TWICE Ken Talk That Talk! (@haaveyoumetken) reported

    @waddlingtwice @cjzamora17 If it’s “smartpost”, oh the irony of that name, usps is supposed to do final mile delivery. But sometimes fedex can decide to do final mile themselves (they did this to my order).As for this case, fedex just f*cked up, the end.

  • USPS down? Current outages and problems (30)Robotrout (@traut21) reported

    Only time I ever have a shipping problem or delay when ordering from @amazon is when it ships @USPS … and it’s only when I needed it to be on time…

  • USPS down? Current outages and problems (31)DontSupportRats (@rats_dont) reported

    @djwaters did you use pirateship or similar service? UPS will pick them up at your door if you call them and schedule a pickup.USPS also will, (irrc you have to fill out a paper maybe?) and they will even bring you rain proof bags (with holes from wear btw) to put packages in.

  • USPS down? Current outages and problems (32)Liz 🐶🐾💐🌺 (@lizsutton12) reported

    @USPS @USPSHelp our mail still hasn’t come and we had a package to be delivered today. It still says out for delivery but it’s almost 7 pm??

  • USPS down? Current outages and problems (33)SatanWatch 👿 (@_SatanWatch) reported

    @turrible_tao you should probably file a complaint higher up with the USPS than your local branch; this sounds like some kind of egregious error

  • USPS down? Current outages and problems (34)Alicia (@AliciaVanae) reported

    @AmazonHelp When we called it was said that they couldn’t deliver because it was too big. But we were NEVER told we would have to schedule a delivery. That should have been something up front or USPS should make an effort to reach customers that have larger packages to

  • USPS down? Current outages and problems (37)kallai (@Kallai7) reported

    @USPS I wish. But I only get mail 2x a week even though I get notifications from informed delivery that I’m getting it 6x a week. More time delivering mail, less time tweeting would be a good call.

  • USPS down? Current outages and problems (38)Lillibet (@lillibetz) reported

    @amazon Tired of paying for prime when 80% of my packages are being delayed! Stop using usps and stick with FedEx/UPS!! Every time it is USPS large item delay. I NEEDED my item today!!! Not Tuesday…. that is 7 day shipping

  • USPS down? Current outages and problems (39)Poppy Serene (@PoppySerene) reported

    @RepThomasMassie What about 1.5 billion for Taiwan, which they need, but we can't afford? Throwing $ at everything doesn't solve problems. Let's claw back the $ sent to schools who haven't spent the Covid GGG funds. How about stop TV ads for the USPS? Sell all unused US gov properties, stuff

    @AmazonHelp Yea I ordered something, and you guys passed it off to USPS and they act like they can’t deliver it even though they never have an issue when it comes to regular mail deliveries. We literally have a mail room

  • USPS down? Current outages and problems (47)Alicia (@AliciaVanae) reported

    @USPS YOU SUCK SO F***ING BAD. Get better. Your service is actual trash. Your customer service is trash. Your communication IS TRASH. Pathetic. @amazon should no longer use USPS as a delivery service. I’m tired of your mistakes. I’m tired of giving you money.

  • USPS down? Current outages and problems (48)Alicia (@AliciaVanae) reported

    @AmazonHelp Hi Sarah. Yes. The problem is USPS services. I ordered a 32” monitor a week ago. The monitor was (for some reason) delivered to an Amazon Facility yesterday evening before being taken to a USPS center and then marked as Out for Delivery.
