Yep. Welcome to "regional transportation optimization". Every single day is painful being in an RTO territory for the post office.

It's so frustrating. If I want to mail something out, it sits for over a day in the local post office. Even Priority Mail Express can no longer get something out locally overnight. If I need overnight service, I have to drive a significant distance to get to a UPS station to get something into the network.

If something mis-sorts to the wrong post office, it sits for over a day at that remote post office before it can re-enter the stream.

I have had more and more late and missorted packages that compound the late deliveries and all I want to do is cry that I can't get the mail anymore in a reasonable fashion.
