Anyone else having issues with USPS (and now FedEx too) either straight up losing mail or showing it’s been in transit for weeks and/or stuck at a facility with no explanation? Doesn’t matter if it’s to or from Pittsburgh the last 5 things I have mailed or been mailed are lost forever.

USPS lost the title to my car earlier this year. I kept getting daily emails from USPS showing that it was going to arrive in the mail that day. Eventually a manager at my post office admitted that they have no way to figure out where that one, very important piece of mail was.

FedEx is consistently poor for me, they frequently leave packages that don’t belong to me on my porch or deliver my package to someone else’s porch. Anytime I see a fedex tracking number, I expect delivery issues.

I've missed several important pieces of mail because of USPS delays, damage, or loss.

If it's both USPS and FedEx then it sounds like the problem is on your end

Maybe porch pirates?

No, the tracking numbers all show letters are at a USPS facility and have not been out for delivery yet. All sent priority or fedex overnight

We have an issue with both Amazon and USPS (not sure if the delivery driver is the same or separate) where the driver will sometimes leave half the mail/packages for the block in our apartment's mail room. My theory is we must be at the end of a route and laziness kicks in or something. It's pretty frequent, and the mail is usually for addresses on our block that are nearby, or the address one block over that has the same building number. I try to redeliver them when I see it, and I have complained before (which helped for a time, but I never really nailed down which delivery service was the culprit). There didn't seem to be much interest from the customer services in solving the problem.

Long story short, check your neighbors porches (as well as you can without being creepy) and see if it's been misdelivered or dumped at another part of the route. If you live near Walnut in Shadyside, PM me because we might get your mail lmao

It would be great if they were delivered but they’re all “in transit” at unnamed sorting facilities

I had issues with a PO box that I have that the mail just wasn't delivered.

I’ve been waiting two weeks for a package mailed using USPS from Pittsburgh.

September and October our BarkBox orders got “lost”. The September box showed up twice because they sent a replacement and then the original came after. This month our replacement also is “lost”.

I sent out something via usps with a 6-10 day delivery. 10 days in, it looks like it's touring the country.

FedEx for sure, but USPS has always been good to me.
