Here are some other screenshots I took from the mail carriers showing how inundated they are with Amazon packages that I saw on Reddit (r/USPS). Amazon packages are being given precedence over ours and our shipments are being held up while Amazon's are being given more importance over ours. Every time I have to ship something out, or order something on Ebay, I hold my breath not knowing how long it will take to arrive or once again go missing. Now with Covid19, not only are we mere peasants paying these outrageous shipping costs, to add insult to injury our customer's packages are taking forever to arrive, not being scanned or going missing. Since the USPS needs room on their tiny mail trucks for Amazon packages, we are being penalized for anything in a box over a cubic foot. I am being run out of business as other carriers are not that much cheaper. Most of my items are not even that large and generally go in boxes about 14"x12x"12". Items that only weigh two to three pounds and are light weight are being charged outrageous prices to ship. Anything going in a box over 12"x12"x12" is being considered over sized. We in return are subsidizing Amazon and are paying top dollar to make up for their losses.įor example, ever since the rates went up again, a package I send from the East Coast to the West Coast that once cost me around $15 to ship is now costing me on average $48-$58. He said that Amazon only pays the USPS $2 per package no matter how heavy or large it is. My mail carrier, whom I love, told me that Amazon is getting away with murder. If you are a seller on Ebay, Etsy or any other online seller, this is why a lot of our packages are not getting scanned and seem to be going AWOL or taking a very long time to arrive. He said Amazon is killing them! They are flooded with Amazon packages clogging everything up and bottle necking the facilities.
I saw post on post on Reddit (r/USPS) and one of the postal workers showed a photo of what is going on behind the scenes at one of the hubs in New Jersey. Here is my original post so you can hear how another one of my USPS packages seems to have ended up going to the wrong place: I posted this on the shipping forum and somebody said I should show these photos on a separate thread. As I write this another one of my packages that I am waiting to receive from an Ebay seller has gone AWOL.
