    This is the first time I’ve really been impacted by the issues I’ve heard so many talk about with our postal service. And it bums me out because next time I have to get something shipped to me, I’m gonna think twice about usps vs. fedex/ups

  • USPS in Richmond, Virginia down? Current outages and problems (19)Taylor Stevens (@TaylorZStevens) reported fromRichmond, Virginia

    @USPS @USPSHelp I’m just trying to change my delivery address 😭 accidentally sent it to my school that’s not open. Your customer care phone does not help

    @AlondraLaOT @USPS Thankfully, the issue was resolved this afternoon.

  • USPS in Richmond, Virginia down? Current outages and problems (21)John Mills (@JohnMTweet) reported fromTuckahoe, Virginia

    @BarbMcQuade @MaddowBlog @USPS You're so right! There's no profit in rural delivery, it's just a necessary service. The USPS is a gear in the machine running the nation. It's not a business.

  • USPS in Richmond, Virginia down? Current outages and problems (22)Vic (@vic_takes_twitr) reported fromRichmond, Virginia

    @usps well today, when it was returned to the sender, I gave another call and asked the status of my case and why it was still not changed. The customer service rep literally told me that it’s useless to open a case bc the local post office doesn’t even look at the open cases ???

  • USPS in Richmond, Virginia down? Current outages and problems (23)Pamela Loving (@pamelaloving) reported fromRichmond, Virginia

    @katieB_13 @thelvlife @USPS It’s so frustrating. Every delivery service is on some serious delays this year. We’ve totally overwhelmed the system. Hope you get it soon!

  • USPS in Richmond, Virginia down? Current outages and problems (24)Larry Ferguson (@MrNashvilleTalk) reported fromHighland Springs, Virginia

    @USPS wonders why they’re failing! I mailed priority 3 day to London got there in 4 that’s understandable..but a package from LA to me in Nashville area due Mon sits in Nashv for days & tracking stopped anticipating delivery. Also purchase items Ship w/ @UPS Nash via UK $35 3days

  • USPS in Richmond, Virginia down? Current outages and problems (25)Afro-Virginian (@BrotherNova) reported fromRichmond, Virginia

    @Grayse_Kelly Green New Deal...fixed USPS problems in The Bronx...first congressperson to pay her interns a living wage...and more...All of those were done in her first few months in office

  • USPS in Richmond, Virginia down? Current outages and problems (26)∞ Sarita C ∞ (@yarnartist_snc) reported fromRichmond, Virginia

    I have now unsubscribed from my informed mail delivery through the @USPS I no longer trust this system.

  • USPS in Richmond, Virginia down? Current outages and problems (27)Kani (@ThatsSoFetch_2) reported fromArrowhead, Virginia

    @Hawggfan @bgregs2k13 @RobGarrison_ Cost would definitely rise.. that’s part of the issue. All of those companies still use the USPS for rural addresses and last leg deliveries, because it’s not worth it for them.

  • USPS in Richmond, Virginia down? Current outages and problems (28)Viqui Potter (@mommapotter01) reported fromLaurel Village, Virginia

    Shout out to @USPS! Shipped a package via Priority Mail from Richmond, VA Saturday, 12/21. Expected delivery to Phoenix, AZ, 12/24 by 8 pm. Actual delivery: Monday, 12/23 before 4:30 pm! Well done!

  • USPS in Richmond, Virginia down? Current outages and problems (29)Gene Edwards (@GeneEdwardsSCMO) reported fromGlen Allen, Virginia

    @LTCShop @LethalityJane @Transamerica If the insurers know HIPPA forces the USPS delay, why do they specify that they will take 10-15 business days to review the new info? When they sent any letter to us, it took 10d for USPS to get it to us. Then gave us 2wk from the letter date to reply before suspending claim

  • USPS in Richmond, Virginia down? Current outages and problems (30)Elizabeth Kane (@raisingkanes) reported fromRichmond, Virginia

    @gingerweil I’ve always thought the USPS was a great deal and very reliable. I don’t know why people complain about the cost of postage; I think it’s cheap for the service you get.

  • USPS in Richmond, Virginia down? Current outages and problems (31)Kylo Ben (@Benjamintchase) reported fromBon Air, Virginia

    Filing a claim with @USPS is literally the most difficult service they offer. I’m simply trying to use my phone and none of the buttons work on the website. Get it together @USPSHelp

  • USPS in Richmond, Virginia down? Current outages and problems (32)Tavarris Spinks 🏳️‍🌈🚲🚌🗽 (@teevirus) reported fromRichmond, Virginia

    @augie_wartooth @MichaelKolbeVA Precisely! One solution is for the post office to offer retail bank like services like they used to. This has problems too though. Ex. the post office in Churchill is constantly on the chopping block and Federal GOP electeds are hostile to the USPS

  • USPS in Richmond, Virginia down? Current outages and problems (33)Alex, Champion of Freedom (@Emensmansera) reported fromRichmond, Virginia

    @cryogen_mtg Had a parcel delivered, returned to sender, then silence and it got lost. Only to be told my package got sent back to the Distributor by notification of the Distributor. The customer service of usps leaves a lot to be desired.

  • USPS in Richmond, Virginia down? Current outages and problems (34)Casey (@mundaetraversa) reported fromDumbarton, Virginia

    HEY @USPSHelp COULD YOU USPS HELP ME my friend sent me a package from Iceland on April 14. @Posturinn says it’s in the US. Your international inquiry service says the tracking # isn’t the tracking #. Spoiler: it is. IRG sent me a letter but no updates. HIT ME UP this is gross

  • USPS in Richmond, Virginia down? Current outages and problems (35)Bitch Goddess (@FAccordions) reported fromRichmond, Virginia

    @ItsJakJak @USPS How about no? As an online business owner, I ship exclusively with the USPS for their service and value. This would kill my business. Think of it that way.

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

  • USPS in Richmond, Virginia down? Current outages and problems (37)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 in Richmond, Virginia down? Current outages and problems (38)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 in Richmond, Virginia down? Current outages and problems (39)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 in Richmond, Virginia down? Current outages and problems (40)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 in Richmond, Virginia down? Current outages and problems (41)Cyclone Polymath (@rrmuller723) reported fromBoone, Iowa
