yes it can be slower for domestic Too

I had no recent experience with International but assume it would be 
longer with pandemic, and slow down in all sectors of commerce, other 
users like Bruce do volunteer,e sales and have more experience

Hi Bruce

It’s hard to understand how USPS could damage your packages
because you certainly pack well. I am finding USPS International
Mail is incredibly slow at the moment and the tracking often shows
packages going via Japan and even London. I now ask for UPS for
shipping. They take around a week from the US to Australia and are
very reliable (so far).

SUBJECT: [MOPO] The Post Office has gone DRASTICALLY downhill the
past few years especially NOW

The U.S. Post Office has gone DRASTICALLY downhill the past few
years, and that slide is accelerating dramatically. Packages sent
Priority Mail now routinely take a week or more to arrive in the
U.S., as opposed to 2 to 5 days a couple of years ago.

Packages sent outside the U.S. fare far worse. They often take a
month or more, and usually there is no tracking during that time (or
sometimes false tracking of places it has never been).

But worst of all is the DAMAGE. Anyone who has ordered from my
company, eMoviePoster.com, KNOWS we use the strongest tubes of
anyone. Until last year, we only had two or three damaged packages
each year, out of the 25,000 or so we send each year!

In the past year, we have had around ten times that. It still is a
VERY tiny percentage of the total we send (around one tenth of one
percent), which is a tribute to how strong our tubes and boxes are),
but when the rate goes up ten times after 30 years of no change, you
KNOW they are doing something VERY wrong in how they handle tubes
and packages.

We sent a tube back in March. The customer received it crushed, and
worse yet, the mailman dropped the crushed tube off at the
customer's front door, rang the doorbell and left.

He later that day received an email saying that he had accepted the
tube and had signed for it, and that was a lie (the customer has the
ring video doorbell that proves otherwise).

He sent us pictures of the crushed tube, and we filed the claim.
First the Post Office said we needed pictures of the damage, and we
sent pictures of the tube and damaged posters.

Next they said we needed to prove the customer had paid what we
said. We sent a copy of the invoice, and they said that was not
sufficient. We sent the a copy of his payment, and they accepted
that.

But now they sent a new letter stating they looked at our images of
the crushed tube and have determined we did not use a strong enough
tube, so they are denying our claim, and suggest we double tube all
orders in the future! 

I KNOW we used a tube stronger than 99% of the tubes anyone else
does, and that they simply never want to pay any insurance claims,
even though

I KNOW we used a tube stronger than 99% of the tubes anyone else does, and that 
they simply never want to pay any insurance claims, even though they love

So the Post Office crushed a super-strong tube, lied about the customer signing 
for it, delayed my rightful claim for months, and then denied it and told me to 
use double tubes!

I am thinking a FAR better suggestion is that we switch ALL our business 
(15,000 to 25,000 tubes and packages a year) to UPS and Fed Ex!



If anyone else reading this wonders WHY the Post Office is going broke, the 
above surely is instructive as
