Beyond words. USPS is broken, just like that. Sold a $2k guitar on Reverb just a while back, USPS Priority came to $100 with Reverb Protection. This time last week, I sold a $1500 guitar. All the sudden USPS had jumped up to $156 for less insurance coverage, vs UPS was only $100 but 5 days + Ground overland in summer, I really wanted the guitar to get there faster, so went USPS $56 out of pocket, and it never got there, and there is no tracking whatsoever. It doesn't show ever leaving the 1st depot it went to after leaving here. 1 stop, that's all they have.
But you can track it for three years, or 5, up to 10 years, and it's not like Carfax where you pay a fee and get unlimited use for a month or whatever of tracking for all packages, this is for single items. Maybe it's for lost ballots, who knows, up to ten years... this is a new level of insane I never saw coming.
That seems to be the trend these days. Everyday, some new shocker even the best of fiction novelists couldn't envision...
And the odd thing I'm seeing now is that Reverb never paid me, so I'm out $1500. And here I thought they said they pay out once your item is on the way, that's what they say, but not quite so.
Anyway, the real heartbreaker here is what's happened to the PO. On it rides all of the VA's meds, SSI checks, survival supplies for millions of people stuck at home, nevermind the crippling of commerce.
REM had it right, end if the world as you know it.
