All of my packages were recently shipped UPS. Two day delivery. I think we know the problem.

Does anybody have a phone number or email to contact Amazon about a package that was said delivered but never was? At 11:58pm no less. Have outdoor camera on mailbox 24/7. Never delivered. Amazon makes it hard to figure out how to contact them. Or maybe I'm too old to figure it out

Click "contact us" near the bottom of the page on Amazon.com or just click https://www.amazon.com/hz/contact-us/foresight/hubgateway to get to the Contact Us page.

On there, it has a few options. You want the one that says "delivery, order or return" or to go straight there, it's https://www.amazon.com/hz/contact-us/foresight/hubgateway-items-2 and it will say "which item do you need help with?" and will show you your purchases.

Click on the one that didn't show up.

After that, you should have some choices.

I think they will give you the option to either chat with them or have them call you back.

They don't have an obvious way to call them.

My orders were sent via UPS and arrived in 2 days. However, it took Amazon 4 days to ship.

Same-ish. Took 3 days to ship and 1 day for UPS to get it here.

The original order I complained about here eventually said it was lost and they refunded me. That was a first…

For no particular reason, I just started run-NING.

My USPS had been delayed (again) Saturday to Tuesday. Tracker says it has been shipped and is in Bryan. I would guess that my regular postal carrier has Monday off (again).

I have the USPS email service that sends a email with pictures of my arriving letters. 4 letters Friday and 3 Saturday - no mail in my mailbox since Thursday.

You have to pick it up at the post office?

Same thing happened to me. Got the identical message at around 11pm on a Saturday. It was delivered to my house the following Sunday morning. I assume the driver was tired and marked all their packages as delivered before they went home. Then got caught up the next day.

What the heck is going on with USPS? We used to have a good mailman driving the little jeep vehicle and he came every day regular as clockwork. Now for 2 or 3 months he's gone and we literally have a different person driving a different vehicle or private car every day. When they even decide to come. It really sucks.

Agreed. According to my Informed Delivery email yesterday, I should have had 7 letters delivered. I had no delivery at all. Fingers crossed they decide to deliver them tomorrow. My carrier used to be very reliable, but I have noticed they'll skip delivery once or twice week nowadays.

Maybe USPS should take a page out of the private industry and put GPS trackers on their trucks.

Oh, you said you made these deliveries, but you never actually drove down the street.

Then again, if you can't hire the staff you need, kinda limits your ability to hold the rest accountable.

I believe they have GPS and have for a while.

Someone has to actually look at that though. That takes a person. A person that isn't on TikTok or Instagram all day.

Rural route carriers often use their own vehicles. There won't be any GPS on those.

Maybe things are changing.. The new mail trucks have A/C

Someone does. That someone also increases the lengths of routes or combines them. It's usually a someone who has never delivered the mail and is basing their calculations on some ridiculous metric.

I just placed an Amazon order.

Delivery to Caldwell - Tomorrow.

Delivery to College Station - Sat.

All the mail still comes through Bryan.

It is annoying the intentional delay....

Your regular mail carrier must have Friday off.
I have noticed that if you place your order on Monday it is on time (CS). But if you place it on Wednesdays all bets are off.

Yeah, but the carrier just cut their work by 80%.

USPS is a complete disaster and politicians and the federal bureaucrats have no desire to fix it.

But, then again, what is working in government these days? Squat.
Government is a disaster at every level. I'm so burned out by them all.

I can't relate to the negativity about the USPS. Our mail carrier is outstanding and deliveries correspond to what we see on our Informed Delivery Emails. We're on Route 56, can't vouch for other carriers or routes.
