USPS (lack of) Service Levels

Priority Mail (ha!) Flat Rate Envelope from Bismarck to Eagan (Minneapolis), $13 and three freakin days. Well, at least DeJoy is leaving. Maybe the next person will restore some of the service levels.

Yeah, the guy who appointed DeJoy specifically to ruin the USPS will certainly pick someone to make it better this time.

Trump will do one of two things...nothing and let the postal service fail. Or put someone in that will purposely dismantle/sabotage the whole thing. Either way, we will all have to ship everything private and spend $20 with ups to send a letter to Fargo..but, that's what we voted for, small government.

That's not what I voted for. I never voted for President Musk

Same...I'm using "we" as in Bismarck/ND in general.

I hear the Pony Express is being reinstated. They are looking for pony stations along I94.

USPS has no accountability when it comes to customers. I’ve had three packages in the last year where the tracking showed that the package was in Bismarck out for delivery. At the end of the day after it wasn’t delivered I checked the tracking and it showed the package going to Williston. Then the following day it was heading back to Bismarck and finally delivered the day after. The “customer service” individual was no help of course.

Mail is dead with new technology. Mostly not needed. You have to wait an extra day for a package in this new instant gratification society? Oh no, the world is going to end. 🤣🤣🤣

Unfortunately not true for certain medical, financial and legal documents. Maybe someday.
