not sure, seems like its applying the to the east costs. two items i ordered took 2-3 days longer than it was supposed to arrive.
and item i sent out is already a day longer and doesnt seem like its gonna be delivered today so that will make it 2 days longer.

Yes they are. They used to update their Delivery Confirmation. Now they just wait til it's delivered before they scan the bar code.

I haven't noticed a difference. I've shipped 4 or 5 items within the last month and they've all arrived in two days. Majority of the items were on the east coast, but one of them was to the south.

I think the employees/union are about to go on strike or something of that nature. The higher ups want everyone to be part-time and the employees/union aren't trying to hear that noise (as they shouldn't).

Delivery confirmation is the worst for USPS. It's not up to date at all. Service has been alright for me the past week though.

Last I checked they were on the verge of bankruptcy. Perhaps there isnt as much money to go around, thus leaving less service persons available.

I don't believe workers have the ability to strike at the Postal Service.
That being said, I read something about congress (Bush) making them pay an extreme amount for benefits of employees whom they havent even hired yet. Essentially, so Bush and now Obama can have less (marginally) total debt. The same article basically said management is doing all it can but congress needs to help.
As for the service, it seems good for me at this time. I am getting my mail every day and packages on time. Certainly the best quai-government/government agency in the USA.

i just got a delivery from usps today that was scheduled for today. not in my area i guess.
i think it just has to do with the fact that usps is more likely to be slow compared to fedex or ups. they are bankrupt aren't they?

Theoretically they can't, but that hasn't stopped them before.. I.e. New York City 1970 being the most popular example.

Bruh I'm waiting for some sunglasses that are from the US to New Zealand. Shipped on the 5th of July...
How's it take 22 days to get from Santa Clarita to LA?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
USPS can suck it. I'm never using them again. As of the 31st of July it's been processed through the LA sort facility. No more updates. #yesimmad
