Have Been Having Serious Issues With Shipping!!!

Post by Healingtree »

I am wondering if anyone else is having the same issues with shipping. My supplier had to switch to UPS and while trying to find a(another one) new supplier, I ordered and shipping has been...8 days...and counting. I need a great strain that's as good as the Wild Green Hulu that Smiley Time had. Energy without jittery, pain relief without falling asleep and fast shipping. Shipping like the good ol days. 3 days. I'm a great customer. Lol, IMO. I just don't won't anymore useless bags either. Stopped buying from someone bc of that.

If you're looking for caps, herba reLeaf has some good ones. I can take the red hulu anytime during the day, and mixing it with green maeng da gives me tons of energy. Your Leaf your life and new hope botanicals also have great tea. Shipping is fast with all of them.

This isn't the fault of any vendor. The shipping issues are due to USPS. They are an absolute disaster right now. I've had some important mail go missing this month. The tracking says it's still on the way although it's weeks late. They're losing peoples' mail all over the place. My family also has missing mail and packages. It's just a huge mess at the moment and super frustrating.

It's gotten so bad that the USPS Postmaster General is actually stepping down. Hopefully some new management can turn things around.

I'm sitting here waiting for a UPS package that's three days late. I keep getting notifications of change, day after day. Saw the UPS truck
just up the street on my way home 45 minutes ago and it's STILL not here, I hope they didn't finish for the day.

I was VERY happy to see that DeJoy is stepping down. I guess he did all the damage he set out to do.

Our local post office is famous for going against his orders in 2020. They unplugged their high-speed sorter, pushed
it over into a corner and brought it back out a week later and started using it again. :lol:

'Free Shipping" has always been hit or miss if we're being honest here. Might not be anything but a lower price behind the scenes for really-cheap-but-slower delivery ? Just saying. :)

I'm not sure his replacement will be much better. He is identifying a candidate for his replacement, according to the USPS website.

The current administration has a stated goal of putting USPS under control of the Commerce Department and it looks like they are seeking a 'merger' which implies the sale/privatization of USPS.

What this will do to our mail, I will leave to the reader's imagination.

Without getting political I can say for a fact that whatever happens with USPS it can't be any worse than it currently is - over the last four years it has deteriorated to the point where it is almost worthless.

That mail I was missing never arrived. It was important documents and I had to have them re-sent. Thankfully that arrived, but it's scary that I have no idea where the original mail ended up. It could be anywhere, filled with personal/private info. Total circus right now at USPS.

Shipping is horrible atm. Especially if it’s routing through certain spots. I think Indianapolis is one of the especially bad routing centers where mail gets lost in the void.
