Rusty just did a story.

https://www.kbtx.com/2024/10/08/bryan-college-station-residents-express-outrage-over-us-postal-service-here-we-are-with-nothing/

That story is not new, it's from Oct 8.

Nothing has improved. I feel for our local carriers. They are not to blame. They are overworked annd overwhelmed. The current system is just so broken.

This never seemed to be a problem when the sorting/distribution center was here.

Wife's package that didn't arrive when it was supposed to arrived this evening.

Two of these were ordered in different colors. The first arrived as scheduled and in a cardboard box with packing materials. You know, like Amazon usually ships.

She complained to Amazon when this one didn't show.

Here it is tonight. The normal packaging as if she grabbed if off a shelf at Target or Wal-Mart. Shipping label and packing tape slapped on it.

I wonder if had been taken out for use by a postal employee and they got questioned about it.

Remember the story that the Hearne Wal-Mart got shut down because the employees were robbing it blind? I bet Amazon is replacing a lot of "lost in the mail" items in our area. And for sure in Houston.

New story on KBTX today.

Bryan-College Station residents urge higher intervention in response to continuous mail delays https://www.kbtx.com/2024/10/18/bryan-college-station-residents-urge-higher-intervention-response-continuous-mail-delays/

This tells me that nothing is going to change: "USPS has yet to provide an official statement on the matter, though KBTX has reached out for comment on multiple occasions and to inquire about potential solutions, including whether a town hall or community meeting might be organized to address these issues directly with residents."

Yep. The USPS does care. The system is too broken.

I just want to know why I have a different delivery person every day. Every day. They don't even have time to learn the route. The delivery vehicle just roams back and forth all over the neighborhood. They have no training at all apparently. I miss my old mailman.

Not going to help at all.

It's so sad to see how hard USPS is struggling. I witnessed a woman, on my street today, in a small sedan with flashing lights, smoking a cigarette, climbing from the driver's seat to the passenger window to stuff a package in the mailbox.

I can only surmise they are hiring anyone they can to try to deliver packages on time. Or at least delivered at all.
