Is the USPS collapsing or is it political protest?

 USPS PACKAGE SERVICE IS CHAOTIC

LACK OF WORKERS OR POLITICAL PROTEST?

The United States Postal service has been the cornerstone of mail and package service for many decades. Everything ran pretty well until 2020, then it has fallen apart and seems to be now getting worse. Of course, Covid did have a bearing on the problems of 2020, but this year it seems a 6" snowfall has, in effect made their package service inoperable. While anyone can expect to have some delays for weather, it seems the other services have continued to provide satisfactory service, while the USPS has fallen apart. Their letter and envelope service seems to be working but packages are often sitting in centers for weeks and often misdirected around the country.

It creates a lot of frustration for senders and those who are expecting to receive their packages in a timely manner. 

At present I have 2 packages mailed on Jan. 21 that have only moved 60 miles in 10 days. Not one of the 5  packages mailed priority mail have been delivered since Jan. 21. Some have moved but are stranded in other places around the country, often sent back and forth between distribution centers. Does this have to do with the snow or the inauguration on Jan. 20?

I have an incoming package that left  Chicago on Jan. 22, then went to Warrendale Pa. then Lehigh Valley, 4 days later arrived in Brooklyn, then Queens, then Harrisburg, then back to Lehigh valley and finally is listed for delivery today, I can only hope. Can the weather cause this?

I have other packages that went from Phila, to Atlanta, then back to Phila. then to Florida, but has not yet been delivered. Is this a result of weather?

I actually have other similar stories, but it would become a very long article. 

I have mailed thousands of packages with USPS for over 25 years and up to 2020 their service was great, occasionally a slow delivery or mishap, but it is now impossible to be considered as a reliable service.

The word is that hey have a shortage of workers, that many do not read english and one must wonder if the crackdown on illegal immigrant has deprived the usps of workers. Whatever the reason, if they cannot handle packages then discontinue package service, stick to the letters and padded envelopes which they seem to be able to handle. They then will require fewer workers and should be able to provide excellent service for first class mail.
