Winston-Salem here. I feel you. All my stuff has to go through Greensboro. Recently the trend has been for it to just sit there for 3-5 days after arrival. I'm maybe 25 minutes from the distribution center.

Durham here. Our local folks are great here. Rarely have a problem. When the package gets close (meaning its somewhere in NC, no matter the original source), it's here quickly. Usually the day of or the day after Informed Delivery says. However sometimes there's a problem getting it out of the NJ or PA distribution centers, which is where I have had a couple for the past few days now. All bets are off on those.

My problem is, unless its expensive and I'm worried about it or some key item, I tend to forget what I've bought and it just shows up. LOL

I'm in Charlotte.

Simple solution to all the USPS delays: Have the people that run the Chick-Fil-A drive thru's run it..we'll have our stuff the next day.

I ship a fair amount to a town right between the Greensboro and Raleigh USPS hubs. Can't begin to tell you how many times a parcel bounces back and forth between the two cities before somebody finally realizes it needs to be delivered to the right place. Adds a day or three to each mailing. Ridiculous.

I have one that says "out for delivery today - available for pickup"

Well which is it? It can't be both.

Sure it can! They can deliver it to your address and you can pick it up off your rain drenched porch.

Sent a bat (Priority Mail) for delivery on November 2...arrived to the Elk Grove hub (Chicago area) on November 3...was here until November 25.....finally delivered to Florida on December 1.....had calls in everywhere and even filed a claim but it finally arrived to the buyer...

They seem to get Winston-Salem right 99% of the time, but I have had a package from Greensboro land in a town way in the western part of the state before because it was sent to the wrong PO zip after the hub processed it. 3 days or so later they got it right.

2 weeks from PA to NY

It took 11 days for a package to go from Dublin, OH to Columbus, OH. Another five days to reach Knoxville, TN where it has been sitting just three miles from my house for the past five days.

Greensboro NC hub ridiculousness update: I now have had a package sitting there since Monday morning with no movement. I'm literally 25 minutes down the road.

Yeah, things have basically ground to a halt. I got one package delivered today that I bought on the 1st. I have about a dozen others out there somewhere....including one purchased on 11/29 - which disappeared from the 29th to the 13th, only to get within 20 miles of me on the 13th and has sat there since.

LOL, the USPS just sent me a survey about my recent experiences. Anyone care to venture how that went?
