-
joyce carrier (@joycecarrier) reported from Alexandria, Virginia@New_Narrative Curious as to why they are using UPS, when they have the largest distribution network in the world, their own USPS, to do the job. Oh, maybe it is because they are working to dismantle the Postal Service?
-
Andrea Ricker (@aricker) reported from Alexandria, VirginiaYes,there are def bigger problems in the world than me getting my package. @usps my problem isn’t that it didn’t show up. My problem is with the lie that there was an attempt. Just own that you didn’t delivery the mail today.

Leon Webb, MA in National Security (@abookgiver) reported from Alexandria, Virginia@MorganJerkins The problem with USPS is that after 9/11 Congress made them fund their own pensions thru the money they generate so they are always in the red in terms of operating budget

Elisa Seth (@SoldbyElisa) reported from Oxon Hill-Glassmanor, MarylandAnxiously awaiting my @Amazon delivery only to find out it went to USPS. Whyyyyy??? 😫
-
Faith Danielle (@YouNeed_FAITH) reported from Oxon Hill-Glassmanor, MarylandAnd @USPS wonders why they are losing to @amazon and @FedEx ... it’s because your office locations aren’t open when they’re supposed to be. Now 20 minutes later your representatives come out and say they can’t mail packages this morning... only service offered is pick-ups 🤬
-
Keep Looking (@doyle0055) reported from Alexandria, VirginiaDon't waste your money. Shipping is @usps (which sucks). Customer service is non-f#$king existent. Over priced shirt, but doubly so since I paid for it and will never see it.

Charles Earl Cheese (@ello_aaye) reported from Alexandria, VirginiaHey @USPS isn’t your slogan “neither snow nor rain” ? I just want to know if this is the case then why y’all delay 3 of my packages cus of a lil snow ?
-
Jeff (@20thgrader) reported from Alexandria, VirginiaThe GOP keeps insisting on comparing the USPS to a private businesses. Then, out of the other side of their mouths, they act like 'poor DeJoy' just got drafted into public service instead of being hired to CEO one of the largest businesses in the world.

S Patrick (@Stephen49541720) reported from Alexandria, Virginia@XrRestraints Your product quality is very good but your delivery system is terrible why do you use USPS it's very lame
-
Anne Tuccillo (@abtuccillo) reported from Hybla Valley, Virginia@USPS since when do post offices shut down for “breaks,” don’t accept cash and have even slower service than before? My mail comes at 8 pm some days and I do my own postage at home. UPS and FED Ex you have a new customer.

Eddie Gonzalez (@rubrics4life) reported from Alexandria, Virginia@Amy_Siskind I'm in. I own a small, online spice business that depends in the @USPS. I am thankful every day for their service. My business would not exist without them. #SaveThePostOffice

AutismMommie (@autism_mommie) reported from Alexandria, Virginia@MyMerryXmas Speaking as a former postal employee of a few years back, USPS service has been trending downward way before this latest brouhaha. I've had trouble receiving snail mail in a timely manner, many times not receiving at all for at least a decade. I mail domestic by 🦃 weekend.

We Are Samira Mohan We Carry The Flame (@madwhee1er) reportedez pass emailing me at 8:30pm about immediate action needing to be taken because usps lost my tag and I need to pay the lost fee but I have to call customer service to do so because my account is closed but customer service offices are closed... so why email me right now???? 🤦🤦
-
All4Freedom🇺🇲🐸🍿 (@skillz17q) reported@HootieBoy That definitely helps. I didn't notice these issues as much when it was UPS. Matter of fact it was on a very rare occasion it didn't show up on time with UPS. Since since USPS started doing deliveries it's been more frequent. When I order stuff through FedEx, it is never late, and sometimes it's a day early.
-
Ken Martin (@kenmartinboston) reported.@USPS when did the US Postal Service stop having a dress code? 😳🤦🏻
-
All4Freedom🇺🇲🐸🍿 (@skillz17q) reportedI didn't have these issues when they were all being sent through UPS. This all started after Amazon starting using USPS.

Christine (@1776Christine) reportedGrok: along with the headline phrasing about suspending "pension payments to postal workers and civil servants." However, this is a slight exaggeration or simplification of the actual announcement. Here's the precise situation based on official USPS statements and multiple reports from April 9, 2026: - USPS is temporarily suspending only its employer contributions to the defined benefit portion of the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) annuity (the traditional pension part). - This is not suspending: - Employees' own payroll deductions/contributions into FERS (those continue and are still sent to the Office of Personnel Management). - Payments to current retirees (their annuity checks are not affected in the short term). - Contributions to the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) — the 401(k)-style portion, including both employee and employer automatic/matching contributions. - Employer contributions to Social Security. - The move is expected to free up about $2.5 billion in cash for the current fiscal year (by stopping ~$200 million biweekly employer payments to OPM for FERS). - USPS describes it as a short-term cash conservation step due to a severe financial crisis and warnings that the agency could run out of cash by February 2027 without reforms or additional measures (like proposed stamp price increases). This is similar to a temporary suspension USPS did back in 2011 during another liquidity crunch. Unions like NALC and APWU have noted it has no immediate impact on current or future retirees' benefits, as those are protected by law—the funding mechanism is just being paused on the employer side for now. The post's wording ("suspend pension payments to postal workers and civil servants") can sound scarier than the reality, which is why some replies in the thread express confusion or alarm about retirees not getting paid. In truth, it's targeted at future funding obligations rather than stopping outgoing checks to existing pensioners. USPS has long faced structural issues, including legacy pre-funding requirements for retiree health benefits from the 2006 Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act, declining mail volumes in some areas, and rising costs. This is one stopgap while pushing for congressional action. If you'd like, I can pull more details from the official USPS release or explain how FERS works for postal employees.

Ollie (@olzhu) reported@girlcloudnine @brsgr4049 @HandNF Students pay fees to attend public universities. People pay fees to send mail through USPS. It is totally reasonable for a public service to be funded by a mix of taxes and usage fees.
-
DisTrackers (@DisTrackers) reported@rastling247 @SungTaiSan Another issue is carriers have slowed down… especially USPS from what I’ve noticed.
-
AOWD (@AOWD1976) reported@USPS when did you guys turn into FedEx? It was supposed to be delivered last Saturday, but I guess because Easter you didn’t work I wasn’t home Monday and you didn’t leave it. I had it rescheduled for today and you never bothered to show up. Absolutely terrible service.

sarah (@wellplayedmarn) reportedHi @theOrdinary, I’m very disappointed with how this delivery issue was handled. My order was marked “Addressee Unknown” and USPS has now returned it to sender, even though it was intentionally shipped to the address provided. This is ridiculous
