Okay, seeing as how it still says out for delivery and it is 10:30 p.m...I'm guessing she's not getting it tonight.
/emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Which means not til Monday. Which means it will have been almost 2 weeks. Priority mail my ass!

Hi there! If you're my Secret Santa, would you mind dispatching an elf and let me know if my delivery is scheduled soon? We're going out of town for Christmas Monday afternoon and I would like to ask a friend to stop by and pick up the package on my porch if I am going to miss it! It would be much appreciated!!

That's ridiculous! I'm pretty sure if its not delivered within the time frame it's supposed to be (1-3) days for priority you should be eligible for a refund. I would contact the PO about this. Not cool on their partOkay, seeing as how it still says out for delivery and it is 10:30 p.m...I'm guessing she's not getting it tonight.

Unfortunately, it's only guaranteed if it's Priority Express. Plain old Priority is specifically not guaranteed. From https://www.usps.com/making-priority-mail-better.htm#PM5 :
Quote: 5) Is the scheduled delivery day guaranteed?
Priority Mail remains a non-guaranteed service. The Postal Service does not provide a money-back guarantee if items sent via Priority Mail fail to arrive by the scheduled delivery date. However, Priority Mail Express continues to provide a money-back guarantee* service for most domestic destinations***.

Not cool on their part Yeah, that is what I am doing. I've been patient...but this is ridiculous. It'd be a little different if this was something I bought for myself, but my santee is probably sitting there thinking her gift just isn't coming, since she was supposed to have it over a week ago...
I mean, there's running behind, and then there's "2 day delivery becomes 13 day delivery". I'm pissed, and I think I'll start using FedEx or UPS.

I agree it's just unacceptable. I'm sorry you have to go through all this! I'm sure once your girl receives her gift she'll understand /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I have generally had very good luck with the USPS (I have a great mailman) so this is the first time I've really wanted to scream...so I shouldn't complain.
Oh, I hope so! I just don't want the wait to stress her out or suck the fun out of her Secret Santa experience. Ah...well...assuming it shows up Monday, at least it'll be close to actual Christmas?

I mean, there's running behind, and then there's "2 day delivery becomes 13 day delivery". I'm pissed, and I think I'll start using FedEx or UPS.
The problem is that this was the year where the hubs (sorting facilities) they promised to shut down were indeed shut down (in May/June). As a result of closing those hub all those packages now go through fewer hubs. In my state we lost several hubs including the one at the local main post office. Here's an example of how the mail here use to go.
I would have a package for Bill to pick up and he'd be by 2:30 PM to pick it up. By 5 PM it would be at the main post office. From there it would be sorted and then shipped to the next hub nearest the destination. From that hub to the next post office (if the destination wasn't at the next hub) then delivered to the person... All within two days, four at most during the holidays if Friday, Saturday or Monday was a holiday. NOW once it gets to the local post office it's placed on a train and at midnight shipped up to Spokane then to Lewiston, ID then to the next hub. It adds one at least one extra day so two-day priority becomes three but most times it's a minimum of four days and up to a week. With the holidays it adds on another two to four days so that previous delay of three days could easily become five to eight days.
And the post office wonders why they're losing money? Hmm... could it be instead of firing management who earn $100,000+ they choose to close hubs down under the assumption that they're saving around $500,000 per hub. The problem is with delays, damaged goods (that have insurance on it) and lost packages people will continue to turn to UPS, DHL and FedEx to ship packages. If they want to save money they need to ditch employees that earn over $100,000 at management level. District and Regional managers pays need to be cut back drastically and they will have the money to reopen the hubs and hire more lower-level employees instead of working their postal works until 11 PM at night delivering mail.

@yousoldtheworld your not alone in this, I was excited to see my gift going out for delivery finally this morning only to find out its still has the same status up until now and I think my nail santee is growing inpatient and I feel awful about it because it's out of my control. I just hope it gets to her safely and hope the wait is worth it.

Hi @jannie135 I got your gift! I'm just returning late night from a short trip out of own and I see it here, and I'M SO EXCITED TO OPEN IT, THANK YOU!!
Full reveal pics will be up tomorrow afternoon for sure. Oh and I did get your lovely chocolates but I didn't see your MUT name on there so I wasn't sure who to thank, hope it wasn't too stressful that I didn't post about that! I definitely enjoyed them to the fullest /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

In retrospect, that totally makes sense
It was such a nice touch though, it made me super excited for what was to come and I was having a really stressful week at work so it was glorious timing!

Aw, on one hand, I'm glad to not be alone here...on the other hand, I'm sorry you're dealing with this frustration, too.
Here's what it says now:

@zadidoll I couldn't have said it better myself. My mom and I are always arguing this same thing. The management that does pretty much nothing gets such a high salary and the carriers are underpaid and very overworked and get yelled at by customers as well as their supervisors on a daily basis. No wonder there's the whole thing about going "postal"!
