This issue is extremely concerning.

It's my opinion that the new postmaster general has an agenda.

Yes indeed , this appointee (Louis DeJoy) is a big time contributor from my home town and he is doing as he is told...   Well, not really my home town, but the town I've lived in for the last 50 years...

Yep. And a whole bunch of people are complicit.

ONLY when it has to do with mail in ballots. Once votes are suppressed, it will be business as usual at USPS.

My state has had all mail in ballots for years and years. It has worked out fine, and you don't actually have to use the post office if you don't want to. IN every neighborhood in my city, there are heavy duty locked drop off boxes. In fact, I just dropped off my primary ballot last week. Unfortunately, the system in my state is fine tuned. There is little time for other states to get the process organized and underway, so they will have to use USPS or the polls.

I am having the same problem with packages not arriving in a timely manner.  I have tracked some items that have ended up at UPS Mail Innovations and stay there for weeks on end.  I have one now that was finally transferred to the post office, and the post office has now had it for 10 days.

The other issue is that with not being able to go in stores and buy clothing, shoes and make-up, I have leaned more on QVC, Macy's, and Chicos.  I have lost weight and have bought quite a bit of new clothes and so I currently have 15 returns that have been sent back with the QVC shipping label and they are still pending with no acknowledgment that they have been received at QVC.  Once these items get back and I get my money back, I will definitely slow down on purchasing as I am not happy with my money being tied up in LaLa Land.  And, it is impossible to get through to the post office or to that UPS Mail Innovations.  They are an absolute joke and I hope someone puts them out of business.  

When I have tried to reach them, the first thing stated on the recording is that their wait times are longer due to COVID-19 and trying to ship safely, blah blah blah.  If a vendor has to hide behind this coronavirus thing ever since March, maybe they don't need to have their business open because if you are open for business, you need to be able to handle the volume of sales.

@RainCityWoman   From my understanding all the mail will slow down, they will not have to get the mail out for derlivery on the same day it's sorted.  This idiot, DeJoy's philosophy is that it can wait until the next day.  So with him in charge all mail is or will be piling up.

I have never heard of anyone of any persuasion who wanted to get rid of the Postal Service -- until this year. Not sure how much more I'm going to be asked to sacrfice here. Businesses and workplaces and jobs, gone, sacrificed, the elderly, meatpackers, frontline workers, waiters, teachers, doctors, children, sacrificed.

And now you're supposed to willingly remove your mailbox and not get mail anymore? For what? What do we get in return for all this sacrifice?

Then you haven't been paying attention.  That is a long held goal in some circles.

Great. Next they'll try to get people to take down their flags or outlaw bumper stickers or something. Maybe demand we sacrifice our pets. Who even knows.

Regardless, if I paid attention to every new plot from the evil geniuses of the world I wouldn't have time for anything else.

No idea what they think the benefit would be for people in remote rural areas to not be able to receive letters or packages or bills. It's not like rural areas are always well served by the Internet. But sure, yank that away from the farmers and small towns. That'll...I don't know what that will do for anyone.

There is a motive, agenda and undermining reason for his slow down and the person chosen to head the post office will do the bidding. It is a disgrace.
