How have the USPS delays affected your business?

If you use the USPS to deliver your products or services or rely on it for supplies, have the recent slowdowns hurt your business? What about your customers who may be waiting longer for your products?

Delivery delays has customers wanting to cancel their orders. It's crazy that it takes so long for things to be delivered.  If I mail things from my home town they have to go to Dallas and then are returned to East Texas instead of being directly mailed to the next town over.  It has been slowing things down for several years. This also increases the chance of things being lost in the mail.

I have not seen any delays with the USPS.  Everything is right on time as usual.  This is all just a myth.

Most packages received for the USPS are 99% Damaged upon delivery. Every Time the USPS mail truck drives up and down my long driveway they damage my lawn. I have filed multiple complaints and now they Do Not Even Attempt going on my driveway,the just throw the packages into the woods by my mailbox. Unacceptable. 

To date we have been unaffected.  We, as a firm and personally,  are PASSIONATELY in support of maintaining a modern, effective, and universally available United States Postal Service.

No problems at all. Mailed the latest package last Wednesday and it arrived on Thursday - and it was shipped "Media Mail."

At the beginning of the pandemic, UPS had a lot of issues.  For my new customers, it was a concern of mine.  They wanted their products almost immediately.  

However, UPS  did the best they could and asked local carriers for help to get the job done.  

Now everything is back to normal, receiving my parcels from the US within three business days.  Thank you UPS. 

The USPS has been delivering promptly. The politicization of this topic has not adversely effected their delivery speed or our business whatsoever. I appreciate their excellent frontline service, in fact. They and many other public servants have been stepping up strongly for all of us through these challenging times. I choose to be grateful for our many amazing blessings and freedoms in this country, as our truest leaders continue to work on the medical and social improvements we need. UNITED WE WILL STAND.

Since products are ordered by customers and shipped directly to them, I am unaware of any problems.  For my items, it seems to be a little longer but not enough to bother me. I just try to order early. 

As far as I am aware, Juice plus is not experiencing delays.  However it may depend upon where a customer is located.
