There seems to be a work slow down in CS PO.
Two weeks ago received tracking notice of packing arriving in CS Wed 6;04 am.
This was not an Amazon shipment.
No delivery or update Wednesday.
No delivery or update Thursday.
No delivery or update Friday.
Stood in line for 2 hours Friday afternoon with tracking information.
Was simply told, "Post Master General has cut our overtime. We are not unpacking pallets of packages."
Since then, in spite of media histrionics, sworn testimony contradicting that talking point.
This actually may explain what's going on. CSPO has a backlog they are struggling to work through due to cuts in OT and the Post Master General has notified Amazon to slow down shipping to these zip codes until that backlog can be processed. Someone else above said Amazon told them this is happening in random spots around the country but not universally and Amazon for their part is giving a non-answer when asked about it rather than throwing a key business partner under the bus.

Oddly enough I feel better about this. Not sure when it gets remedied but hopefully the same guy that eliminated the OT has a plan to fix this where it's arising and get those PO's back to a reasonable performance level. Amazon is only going to be so patient before they start shifting business elsewhere. I'm sure elsewhere will cost more but a month ago I wouldn't have completed the order for my daughter I'd have just found another source. They will only lose so much business covering for USPS before they change strategies.
Did anyone explain why CSPO has a backlog when other local zip codes are running smoothly?
Sorry cuts in OT does not explain why this is isolated to a few zip codes.

I have an Uplift standing desk (motorized/with preset heights) that is in new condition, black and I think 72" long. TexAgs at hnatt.com

Already bought one from Amazon. 72" is too long. 48" was about the max I could do though.

Why doesn't it? Just because you want this to be a bad explanation doesn't make it one. I very seriously doubt either of us has enough information to form an educated opinion on the impact of a reduction in OT to the local PO. I even qualified my post with "may explain" because I don't know for sure but it's seems plausible and since we're not the only PO Amazon is having problems with that would seem to support this explanation. IMO it's a perfectly reasonable explanation particularly if the local PO gets a spike in packages due to the returning students. Seasonal volume spike combined with a reduction in man hours and here we are with a temporary backlog.

Again I have no idea if that's the right answer, just as you have no idea if it's not. To state definitively either way is absurd.

Long lines at the stores and PO, reduced store hours, less options available, shortages of supplies, long wait times for deliveries.

Such a great preview to the coming socialism that we seem so anxious to have.

Your assumption would be valid if all zipcodes in this area were affected in the same manner. From what I have seen on this forum, they are not.

I'm totally frustrated with this as well period I'm in 77844 and things are taking 6 to 7 days via USPS from Amazon. I contacted them and they gave me a $5 credit and say they are going to ship via alternate carrier. I haven't tested that out yet.

Some zip codes get more packages than others.

Some post offices rely more heavily on OT than others.

Apparently all zip codes serviced by the College Station Post Office are affected.

My monitor and stand were just delivered by an Amazon van instead of USPS or UPS. I got a notification first thing this morning saying it was 10th on the list and a link to a map showing where it was. Then when it was delivered the notification too me to the app with a picture of the box on my porch. Wonder how economical that really is for them.

I'm 77845 and the only orders I get in 2 days are the ones from the NW Houston/Humble distribution warehouse. I just ordered some headphones (prime) and it is listed as 7 days delivery. If I could get it locally, I would, but Best Buy doesn't carry much.

Then this is an administrative issue. Can the USPS shift workers from other lower activity postal offices to offices that are more active? Is this against union rules?

I just ordered something with Prime shipping and it says it will be here in 7 days. I'm in 77845. Not sure how you can blame that on the Post Office. Sounds like an Amazon issue to me. If they said it would be here in 2 days...and it took 7 then it would be a Post Office issue.
Not defending Amazon because they've really screwed the pooch the last 6-7 months, but the 2 day shipping only kicks in after the product leaves their warehouse. That 7 day "guarantee" gives them 5 days of handling time which they have been using a lot recently.

Prime hasn't really been worth it in the shutdown. So many other companies are less expensive and deliver in the same 5-7 days (or sooner).

I looked at my Amazon account and the benefits of Prime are now "free shipping" instead of "free two day" shipping. Looks like they're slowly watering down the service. Probably not the best course of action. They haven't killed off all of the brick and mortar competition yet so they probably need to make sure they're still worth the $120/year. My account renews in a week but I'm not sure I'll let it happen. At a week or more lead time it's not worth it.

They still list the 2 day shipping as a benefit of Prime. It's just supposed to be the slowest option since they have some items with 1 day shipping and some as same day.

  • Prime Delivery: Unlimited Two-Day Shipping on over 100 million items and One-Day Shipping and Same-Day Delivery in over 10,000 cities and towns as well as 2-Hour Delivery with Prime Now in select cities.

Proof, really?. Some of y'all work way too hard at this. No, I don't have proof. I mean other than an employee at that location telling us their OT got cut, which of course means the total man hours for that location got cut which would SEEM to suggest that it's going to take longer for them to sort through the volume of packages that are routed through that location. So no, other than applying a bit of logic to a bit of information I got nothing. And that's OK. At some point it is what it is so if that's not enough for you then so be it.

Yep, I stand corrected. The page I was looking at listed "free delivery" rather than the note you posted explaining Prime Delivery. Thanks for posting that.

Ordered something yesterday and shipped to CS address and it said Sept 12 with prime.


Canceled it this morning and reordered same item and shipped to a family member in Bryan and delivery is Sept 9 now.


So definitely seems to be some kind of issue with the CS USPS location and not Amazon specific


I wonder if there is a backlog of deliveries at or coming out of CS USPS perhaps due to the recent influx of students ?

TL;DR CS post office is screwed, amazon doesn't know when it will be back to normal.
Can confirm. From more than one mail carrier we've talked to, they have made some changes at CSPO which slows things down considerably. It cause more work for the sorters and the carriers, and it is all in the name of making the PO "profitable" which is an absolute joke because the federal post office system is a service.

We don't ask the Army or the Air Force to be profitable do we? The Post Office is the same, and he11 I would be content to give them a dollar for every letter we send if it meant things were run efficiently again!

I ordered a couple items before I started noticing all this mess on Sep 1, to be delivered Sep 7. As of Friday they hadn't shipped yet. I cancelled the order and shipped to a buddy in 77802. One arrived yesterday and one is out for delivery. SMH

Did anyone explain why CSPO has a backlog when other local zip codes are running smoothly?
Sorry cuts in OT does not explain why this is isolated to a few zip codes.
Because they also changed the way they sort mail going out for delivery and have *deliberately* slowed the process down. Stuff that gets to the CSPO on Thursday afternoon may not get sorted and put out for delivery until Monday afternoon which means it could be Tuesday morning before it actually goes out for delivery.

This is a direct result of the new sorting schedule put in to place just recently at the CSPO. The carriers deliver stuff in the mornings that was sorted yesterday then have to go back to the hub do get more deliveries that were sorted that morning, but they don't rerun their routes for these deliveries so that stuff sits until the next day.

Everything has been artificially crippled and slowed down to make it look like the Post Office is ineffectual. When it's really just asinine scheduling and payroll cuts. Less people doing more work, and the work they are doing is made as difficult as possible by the management.

Make no mistake. This just started happening. It's political in nature. That alone should be enough to be absolutely fed up with how politicians pull our strings. This isn't a Reb/Dem thing I'm talking about. It's systemic, and it's a cancer.

A lot of my Amazon packages are shipped via UPS though and they're delayed too. Why are those affected?

A lot of UPS deliveries are some combination (think it's called UPS Smartpost) where UPS does most of the way, but they leave it at the local post office for final delivery instead of going to every individual house. Amazon and lots of other companies use that service.

So I don't think the problem can be blamed entirely on the local Post office. my package is sat for days before they even shipped, as others also have mentioned above.
