But I had a Dusty Groove order that arrived in 3 days. OTOH I have another order from elsewhere in Chicago that seems to be f***ed up.

Dan Gould Posted August 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 On 7/31/2020 at 2:00 PM, Dan Gould said: Well its kind of strange that the USPS still doesn't have it but they are at least now indicating that they are waiting for it in Atlanta, where Pitney Bowes says they've had it for 11 days, so there's that! And remarkably, with no scanning at all between Atlanta on August 1, it was scanned as 'delivered' this morning. But I still have something to gripe about, which is that a UK seller would use a paper envelope with one cardboard insert for shipping. Absolutely pathetic and the upper right corner is bent about three inches down and across. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gould Posted August 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 Well the PO has pleased me a couple of times but we're back to wondering what the hell is going on ... two packages, both now late several days, one in LA, one in NC, neither have ever shown departure scans and its six days since any update. Getting very annoyed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kh1958 Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 Tracking an August 6 shipment from Europe, which arrived in Chicago on August 21. Next to Oakland on August 27. The shortest route to Dallas from Chicago is of course through Oakland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 Is the Post Master of Baltimore the same as the Post Master General?

So was a rejoinder to one comment targeting a totally different person that the subject of that comment? appears so! That is sloppy progression and displays undisciplined non-sequential though. That does not exemplify an objective control of facts and the ability to track a problem through to a solution by staying on track and on point from start to finish. Sounds more like Drunk Uncle thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds more like Drunk Uncle thinking. Yeah, yeah, she's is in charge of the Baltimore post office, period. Do we always let local management of the hook? I mean, it's like saying a division manager has no responsibility for his or her division, it's only the CEO, or like saying the workers in the shop and in the field should not be accountable for their actions or lack of. Maybe the problem is with being understaffed, laziness, or maybe it's something else. Here is a fact, we do know this is not the first time citizens have complained about slow or lack of delivery in Baltimore or anywhere else (what is the title of this thread?). Dumping all the shit on a dude that has held the position since June 15th is a stretch. Maybe he is a moron, or has no business running being Post Master General, but shit was fucked up before, it didn't just start in the last 60 days. And for those of you amazed that people are appointed or hired for top jobs of which they have no direct experience or didn't come up through the system, are you kidding me? That shit has been going on for years, and happens in both government and private sector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
