That is exactly what billionaire Republicans wanted when they put him in that job. The market share of the U.S. Post Office is worth tens of billions to a private business that took its place. They could charge every person in America $15 - $30 dollars a month to receive their mail. On top of the $9.95 a month rental fee on every mailbox in the U.S.
Our first felon appointed NoJoy during his first term. The idea was to work toward privatizing the USPS. Since then, NoJoy has contracted with independent delivery companies to deliver the mail in mostly rural areas. Some of those companies are owned by his wife, hidden in corporate paperwork, with NoJoy's wife's profit of about $12 million on just one contract.
@@BibbityBibbs Yeah. He wanted to close the sorting center in Reno and move it to Sacramento. There's a huge problem with that. Donner Pass. The interstate through Donner Pass has closures throughout the winter due to snow. It can be for a day or more at a time. That directly affects mail delivery and doesn't make sense for northern Nevada. Luckily the objections caused DeJoy to back down.
He’s wrecked our mail delivery in Wisconsin!! Fire him!! Bring back our sorting machines to Green Bay!! Why should Green Bay mail go down to Milwaukee , get sorted there and come back to Green Bay. It takes 7-10 days for mail to go across town in Green Bay!! For God’s sake, that’s ridiculous!!!
Thank you Jon. No one else has called this joker out on the poor performance especially after he destroyed so many of the mail sorting machines that actually worked. Our mail service has become terrible while the costs of postage have continually risen. He obviously is unfit for the position and needs to go before he completely ruins our mail system.

I was expecting a small package in 2 days that took almost 3weeks. It went to 13 cities from Jacksonville, Florida to some town in New Jersey and multiple places in between. The same type of thing happened about 1.5 weeks ago: package came to my local USPS branch and then went 45 miles away then to 2 more cities before finally making it here. I was furious. USPS has been awful since DeJoy got in.
Its awfulness has been purposeful. This was one of the first big plays to destroy institutions, and it's been working well. The purpose has been to undermine USPS so people lose faith in it.
I had a package from Singapore arrive at the Hope Mills PO at 8PM and at 8PM it was returned to sender. I only know this because I was searching online for it with the help of the company that shipped it to me. I had to call through to several shippers before it got to my hometown post office. They never tried to deliver it to me. They just wrote return to sender. (Edit). I NEVER use the USPS for anything important. It costs more to use other services but at least it gets delivered. My father worked for USPS for 40 years and is appalled at where it is today.
Ossoff really did a great job keeping his voice calm and keeping his calm demeanor with his facts at hand. You can tell it was intimidating to DeJoy. He definitely was nervous.
DeJoy is a Trump donor with financial ties to members of the Board that COULD fire him if they wanted to " lose favor with Dumpty". Sounds like the GOP congress members?
DeJoy has made a total mess of the postal service. It is a disaster to work for them with constant miscommunication, sending all mail to only one facility in an area and then sending it back to where it should be delivered. The workers are running ragged with working 12 hours a day 7 days a week. They are delivering in the dark in high risk areas resulting in the murder of several postal carriers. The entire system is a joke with the workers worked to death due to Disorganization, miscommunication, sorting now done by hand after DeJoy removed sorting machines, old vehicles that constantly break down, serious management issues and worse. It is the mailman taking the brunt of DeJoys mismanagement.
You are so right. DeJoy doesn't understand or care about the SERVICE MISSION of the USPS & his "efficiency" ideas have made it a MISERABLE PLACE TO WORK. Management quality was falling before him, but is in the toilet now along with service.
@@marilynmanchesterbecause they’re not being tested anymore, when applying for a position…..then have contracted employees who don’t give a rats ass…..cross krafting, which is against Union rules and the supervisors just keep on doing it…..most of them worked from walmart
Yes Atlanta post office sucks. My mom shipped my birth certificate it took 3days to get to Atlanta from Indiana but took 3½ wks to lv the ATL facility. I was told when I called they're changing locations & this was the result of the hold up. It took almost a month to come from ATL facility to be delivered to me in McDonough. What a disgrace 😠
Why hasn't he been removed? He has a serious conflict of interest in making the system function properly and efficiently! Because he gets the the over flow of work the postal system can't handle so I ask the same question again and say WTF? 🤨
@mikewebber2637 I know that's what they say or yeah that's not how it works! However any head of any government position can be sequestered and show to be incapable of doing the duty of said position can be removed though some stupid bureaucratic procedures and it is way over due here! ✊️🎓🌎✔️🤨
@@samjazzywriter124715 Thank you! I was going to mention that, but couldn't remember the name of the company. The well loved postman at our Senior Complex has talked about how awful working conditions have become, but he's hanging on for his pension. 😢 Ossof is a really good Congressman. Glad he kept his seat!
Then 11-member USPS Board of Governors (9 governors appointed by the president and approved by the Senate but no more than 5 from one party plus the Postmaster general and Deputy Postmaster general) has the sole authority to fire or hire a post master general. When Trump took office he inherited an empty board due to political actions by Republicans and Congress that refused to confirm any of Obama's nominees. This allowed Trump to appoint all the governors and did so with those who shared his vision. If you recall back to the 2016 election season, Trump called the PO a joke and opposed any Democratic measures that would fund (which was badly needed) the agency before the election because doing so would give the PO the influx of funds to handle mail-in voting. Trump loaded the board which guaranteed they would hire DeJoy.
This is a perfect example of a waste of human. DeJoy is a liar and monster. And is a bad liar at that. He's getting paid to destroy. Now he has four years of psyco boy to go back to what he did before. Ridiculous.
I work for the Post office and I really think that is the whole plan they want to destroy the post office in order to privatize it therefore making people pay for mail delivery service
Imagine DeJoy in charge of a dollar store with his record, he would be fired after the second month. I find it disgusting Ossoff sent him a letter via the post office and he still rejects reading it. Hypocrisy abounds in this guy.
As he was appointed by trump to destroy the USPS so ballots would not get received in time to be counted... He has done exactly what he was hired to do. 😡
"This unprepared Trump appointee was thoroughly unprepared at the first hearing. He told one representative, whose constituents couldn't access the post office due to a lack of wheelchair ramps, to go to another facility that had ramps. He had no concrete answers for any of the concerns raised. Who takes over a department without reviewing each department head, identifying the issues, and assigning someone to manage and implement a corrective action plan? Why does he still have a job? Here in Connecticut, mail wasn't received for months from Virginia!"
I understand it is a 3 member panel, who has to decide on whether he is to be fired or not. The members on the panel, as I understand it, are Trumpsters. Birds of a feather come to mind.
@@cathieludemann5879no it’s not a 10yr tenure. I believe the USPS Board of Governors (BOG) is stacked with Trump appointees. It’s my understanding Only the BOG can remove the PMG. Thus him still being there. Definitely other plans for the direct of USPS.
I thought Pres Biden appointed two new members to the BOG. I guess it wasn't enough. So frustrating. So much mail and packages have gone missing. I hate to send gifts anymore because I don't know if they will get to the recipient!
@@cathieludemann5879 I stand corrected. I looked it up. Only 2 out of 7 are left over from Trump. Now that’s a shame. The chair has a background in elections. There must be something I don’t understand.
I live in suburban ATL and never received my registration renewal packet. I was looking for it via Informed Delivery and in person. This was my first time doing it in GA. I had to do everything at the last minute online, and printed a temp out.
DeJoy never should’ve been appointed as Post Master General. Here in Pittsburgh, there aren’t enough mail deliverers so we get lots of late and lost mail and packages.
I had an Rx mailed from a pharmacy that is 2 1/2 miles from my house. It went to TEXAS! Took weeks to get it. If I hadn’t planned ahead with my supply, I would’ve ended up in the hospital!
Ten-year plan? Ben Franklin promoted this 200+ years ago and it ran fine until DeJoy got his hands on it. Don't forget DeJoy owns a competitor to the USPS and has tried hard to dismantle it for himself. Now the orange rump is coming back. . . . And here we are!
My father worked for the USPS for 40 years. When he retired he had 3 years of paid time off saved up. He hates DeJoy and says DeJoy has ruined what was once a reliable and respectable part of the foundation of this country. He talks about how hard everyone worked to make sure that the mail got out on time especially around the holidays and the elections. It was once a respected way to build a foundation for one’s family. Now it’s not.
Why did mail take 4 months to go 85 miles? Reports of mail theft or obstruction of boxes is responded to with 'oh well'. County property taxes are received a year late. USPS is not a for profit company. It is a citizen service. A package sent costing 3X the amount that a citizen can deliver personally themselves is ridiculous. Tax return not received.
Still don't understand why Biden didn't replace this guy. Four years to do it and yet here we are. OK, having read up on it, I now know that Biden doesn't have that power. A Board of Governors does. Unreal.
.......Sen. Jon Ossoff, Since POTUS Biden Selected Val Butler Demings and William Zollars To Complete The USPS Poster Governor Board Have The Senate Voted?... And Since The Clock Is Ticking The Postmaster General Position Need To Be In Place Before Biden Leave.... Robert Reich Could Be A Good Person to Consider?
Postmaster Generals USED TO BE people with POSTAL EXPERIENCE rather than corporate schmucks who donate to politicians. Wish Biden had the power to replace him before he & Dumpty privatize it for their own profit
Is this why i dont get mail on Mondays? I worked 37 years for the postal service , when I left it was 98% on time, its down to 75% under this failure of a Postmaster General.
This man is terrible at his job. If most Americans job performance were the same, we would have been fired after the first three months. He is a pathetic Postmaster.
That’s exactly why he was placed there; de joy still has a hand in Fedex… he makes $ while making the usps fail. Conservative plan is always putting dips like de joy in place so they can point and say”Look! Government doesn’t work!!”
Watching Post Office Director Louis DeJoy's behavior testifying before Congress yesterday was like watching an unruly kid being reprimanded.. When he covered up his ears with the palm of his hands as a sign that he was not paying attention to what was the senators were asking, also reminded me of kids misbehaving. Our Post Offices around the country are being run by a incompetent kid. Indeed a pity to look at.
7:10 It's been abysmal all over the damn country! I used to ship small-medium packages via USPS 1st Class Pkg for very reasonable prices that would arrive to my customers within 2-3 days. DeJoy got rid of 1st Class Package and created "USPS Ground Advantage" that costs 3x more and takes 8-10 days to arrive to customers! That is HORRIBLE! I now have been using UPS at a lower rate and my customers are receiving their packages quicker than what USPS can deliver them.
I live in the middle of the county west of the Mississippi. Sent a package to a friend in Alabama. It went north of ne to Illinois and sat for almost a month before it was delivered. Why would it be routed north of my state before going south? That sounds stupid to me.
Yep from central Arizona a letter gets sent to CALIFORNIA before getting to its destination in Phoenix… one could drive it there and deliver it yourself faster if you have the time and gas money!!!
So whatever percentage of the mail is being delivered, that’s the percentage of paycheck he gets. So if only 36% of the mail gets delivered that he only gets a paycheck of 36%. How do you like them apples
That guy should have been fired 8 years ago

My father worked for USPS for 40 years and is appalled at where it is today.
Same thing happened to me. It's so f-ing frustrating!
I had a package coming from Arizona that took over a year to get to me
@@gotyoubythezipper WTF are you pulling at people's zippers?? Sick!!
Get rid of him.
His fvkery is clear…
Congress does not have the authority to fire him.
Finally, I had a package stuck in Atlanta for 10 days.
Ossoff really did a great job keeping his voice calm and keeping his calm demeanor with his facts at hand. You can tell it was intimidating to DeJoy. He definitely was nervous.
Come on, we all know that he was put in to destroy the postal service
He was put into place to ensure Trump was elected by messing up mail in voting.
I admired this Jon Ossoff. Intelligent, and sharp!!
Jon Ossloff is really competent! A great Senator!👍🥰💪🏻
I don't understand how Dejoy is still employed under that Post Office leadership other than the corrupt system that allows it.
You answered your own question.
@Spiritof_76 Riiight. But you'd THINK in any given management facility scenario, this guy wouldve been REPLACED with another head...
DeJoy is a Trump donor with financial ties to members of the Board that COULD fire him if they wanted to " lose favor with Dumpty". Sounds like the GOP congress members?
🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
@@antclerfont8478 Normally, yes. But his is one of the few positions that has an incredible degree of job security.
Ossoff does a great job💯💙🇺🇸
DeJoy has made a total mess of the postal service. It is a disaster to work for them with constant miscommunication, sending all mail to only one facility in an area and then sending it back to where it should be delivered. The workers are running ragged with working 12 hours a day 7 days a week. They are delivering in the dark in high risk areas resulting in the murder of several postal carriers. The entire system is a joke with the workers worked to death due to Disorganization, miscommunication, sorting now done by hand after DeJoy removed sorting machines, old vehicles that constantly break down, serious management issues and worse. It is the mailman taking the brunt of DeJoys mismanagement.
You are so right. DeJoy doesn't understand or care about the SERVICE MISSION of the USPS & his "efficiency" ideas have made it a MISERABLE PLACE TO WORK. Management quality was falling before him, but is in the toilet now along with service.
@@marilynmanchesterbecause they’re not being tested anymore, when applying for a position…..then have contracted employees who don’t give a rats ass…..cross krafting, which is against Union rules and the supervisors just keep on doing it…..most of them worked from walmart
There is a post office five blocks from my home. My mail goes through a post office five MILES away.
Here in CA, it took 5 days to get my letter to a city that is right next to mine.
Yes Atlanta post office sucks. My mom shipped my birth certificate it took 3days to get to Atlanta from Indiana but took 3½ wks to lv the ATL facility. I was told when I called they're changing locations & this was the result of the hold up. It took almost a month to come from ATL facility to be delivered to me in McDonough. What a disgrace 😠
Why hasn't he been removed? He has a serious conflict of interest in making the system function properly and efficiently! Because he gets the the over flow of work the postal system can't handle so I ask the same question again and say WTF? 🤨
The USPS Board of Governors decides his fate. For 4 years now Biden claims he's powerless.
He can only be fired by the USPS Board of Governors and it seems there are too many trumpers on the board. 😢
Congress does not have the authority to fire DeJoy.
@mikewebber2637 I know that's what they say or yeah that's not how it works! However any head of any government position can be sequestered and show to be incapable of doing the duty of said position can be removed though some stupid bureaucratic procedures and it is way over due here! ✊️🎓🌎✔️🤨
Hes just setting it up to be privitized so when he quits he can run the new company delivery service.
He was already a CEO of a package delivery service. I cannot remember what the name of it was. But he was/is put there to damage the USPS.
Believe it or not I’m in Australia and even I know this. It’s crazy.
BINGO!
@@samjazzywriter124715 XPO
@@samjazzywriter124715 Thank you! I was going to mention that, but couldn't remember the name of the company.
The well loved postman at our Senior Complex has talked about how awful working conditions have become, but he's hanging on for his pension. 😢
Ossof is a really good Congressman. Glad he kept his seat!
11 plants to 3? That’s supposed to make it consistent?
No organization is ever any better than what’s at the top.
WHY does this guy still have the position? Do whatever needs to be done to get him TF out of there!
Then 11-member USPS Board of Governors (9 governors appointed by the president and approved by the Senate but no more than 5 from one party plus the Postmaster general and Deputy Postmaster general) has the sole authority to fire or hire a post master general. When Trump took office he inherited an empty board due to political actions by Republicans and Congress that refused to confirm any of Obama's nominees. This allowed Trump to appoint all the governors and did so with those who shared his vision. If you recall back to the 2016 election season, Trump called the PO a joke and opposed any Democratic measures that would fund (which was badly needed) the agency before the election because doing so would give the PO the influx of funds to handle mail-in voting. Trump loaded the board which guaranteed they would hire DeJoy.
Biden promised to get rid of him. Why didn't it happen????
This is a perfect example of a waste of human. DeJoy is a liar and monster. And is a bad liar at that. He's getting paid to destroy. Now he has four years of psyco boy to go back to what he did before. Ridiculous.
I work for the Post office and I really think that is the whole plan they want to destroy the post office in order to privatize it therefore making people pay for mail delivery service
He screwed up the post office. It was doing fine. I knew mail was getting to its destination in 2 days. Now, we're lucky if it's 7 days.
How can he successfully run the USPS when he has financial conflicts of of of of of interest?????
Exactly.
THAT’S IT! No shame!
As i applaud ossoff, i wonder where the rest of our representatives are and why dejoy (with no postal experience) is still in office
Imagine DeJoy in charge of a dollar store with his record, he would be fired after the second month. I find it disgusting Ossoff sent him a letter via the post office and he still rejects reading it. Hypocrisy abounds in this guy.
Louis De Joy was picked by Trump in his first administration. What does that tell you about Trump’s judgment?
As he was appointed by trump to destroy the USPS so ballots would not get received in time to be counted... He has done exactly what he was hired to do. 😡
He paid to get that position as post master general
"This unprepared Trump appointee was thoroughly unprepared at the first hearing. He told one representative, whose constituents couldn't access the post office due to a lack of wheelchair ramps, to go to another facility that had ramps. He had no concrete answers for any of the concerns raised. Who takes over a department without reviewing each department head, identifying the issues, and assigning someone to manage and implement a corrective action plan? Why does he still have a job? Here in Connecticut, mail wasn't received for months from Virginia!"
What else to expect from a useless Trump pick to slow down the USPS, for years this has been going on & still he is not removed, what a joke.
I think the tenure for a Postmaster is ten years. He knows he has a cushy job so why work any harder?
I understand it is a 3 member panel, who has to decide on whether he is to be fired or not. The members on the panel, as I understand it, are Trumpsters. Birds of a feather come to mind.
@@cathieludemann5879no it’s not a 10yr tenure. I believe the USPS Board of Governors (BOG) is stacked with Trump appointees. It’s my understanding Only the BOG can remove the PMG. Thus him still being there. Definitely other plans for the direct of USPS.
I thought Pres Biden appointed two new members to the BOG. I guess it wasn't enough. So frustrating. So much mail and packages have gone missing. I hate to send gifts anymore because I don't know if they will get to the recipient!
@@cathieludemann5879 I stand corrected. I looked it up. Only 2 out of 7 are left over from Trump. Now that’s a shame. The chair has a background in elections. There must be something I don’t understand.
A few of my credit cards are now charging $3-4 in fees if payment is made to them via check thru the mail. They don’t trust mail delivery either.
do check by phone
I order my tag renewal on Aug 24th didn't receive it untill Sept 17th this is complete nuts! LOUIS DEJOY needs to be Fired. ( Florida)
Here in Michigan both my daughter and I had to request our DLs twice before we got them.
I live in suburban ATL and never received my registration renewal packet. I was looking for it via Informed Delivery and in person. This was my first time doing it in GA. I had to do everything at the last minute online, and printed a temp out.
DeJoy never should’ve been appointed as Post Master General.
Here in Pittsburgh, there aren’t enough mail deliverers so we get lots of late and lost mail and packages.
I work in a post office in rural Illinois and there are days where I don't get mail for my customers for months
The new Palmetto sorting facility serves my area. It was an absolute disaster. So many things went there and disappeared.
DeJoy for DeJail. Fire him
Won’t happen, sorry. DeJoy is one of the good ol’ boys. Great job, Senator Ossoff.
@@eileenvannurden1343 👏
We have been getting our mail between 7:30-8:00 pm.Its never before 5-6. I think it's ridiculous. It gets worse all the time
Oh I needed to rewrite my dissertation because the mail delivered is late to the school congratulations you just sent me back to freaking years‼️
My spouse never received his dissertation in the mail. He will have to pay again for it if he wants to try again! Unbelievable!
@ yep😎
Jon Ossoff did well pushing to hold Failure Dejoy accountable. I wish others would hold him accountable as well and fire Dejoy.
I had an Rx mailed from a pharmacy that is 2 1/2 miles from my house. It went to TEXAS! Took weeks to get it. If I hadn’t planned ahead with my supply, I would’ve ended up in the hospital!
How long will he be giving excuses ..been there four years...
He’s been there longer than that hasn’t he?
Ten-year plan? Ben Franklin promoted this 200+ years ago and it ran fine until DeJoy got his hands on it. Don't forget DeJoy owns a competitor to the USPS and has tried hard to dismantle it for himself. Now the orange rump is coming back. . . . And here we are!
Get him out Now ,thank you Sir for putting the pressure on him.
Come on America
More of our representatives in DC need to call out Dejoy on his disastrous handling of the USPS.
I don’t like you either DeJoy. You should have been cancelled when you took down the speed sorters.
Bad attitude
He is so incompetent. Can we make him go away?
Since he took over mail delivery has gotten worse NOT better.
This guy is still there!! He should have been fired right away. Total disgrace
Awesome presentation by Ossoff on the dejoy tenure failure. Thank you.
Biden or Harris should've used their influence to get rid of him. His job was to slow down service for Trump
They can't because the Postal Board of Governors have the sole authority to do that.
@arienfox
Thats why I wrote , "should've used their influence " They can do that to get the ball game rolling. He's a Trump appointee
@@vernonedmonds8596Most of the BOG'S were appointed by 45 during its Administration in 2017 and DeJoy was appointed by 45 in 2020.
@arienfox
It's known, he's a holdover. He was installed to slow down the mail in an effort to help Trump win in 2020
Right now there are two people that need to be confirmed for the Board of Governors. I know he won't be able to buy their votes.@vernonedmonds8596
Dejoy moved job to fedex to make billions. That's where that money left
WHY? WHY? WHY? is DeJoy still PMGen? WHY?
This jerk has ruined the Post Office. I have a relative that works there and confirms that.
My father worked for the USPS for 40 years. When he retired he had 3 years of paid time off saved up. He hates DeJoy and says DeJoy has ruined what was once a reliable and respectable part of the foundation of this country. He talks about how hard everyone worked to make sure that the mail got out on time especially around the holidays and the elections. It was once a respected way to build a foundation for one’s family. Now it’s not.
ALL OF THIS is because DeJoy shut down most of the regional sorting centers, claiming it would be more efficient.
Jon Ossoff is so good, intelligent, and handsome.❤
He’s the best.
Why did mail take 4 months to go 85 miles? Reports of mail theft or obstruction of boxes is responded to with 'oh well'. County property taxes are received a year late. USPS is not a for profit company. It is a citizen service. A package sent costing 3X the amount that a citizen can deliver personally themselves is ridiculous. Tax return not received.
Still don't understand why Biden didn't replace this guy. Four years to do it and yet here we are.
OK, having read up on it, I now know that Biden doesn't have that power. A Board of Governors does. Unreal.
The mail here has been terrible ever since he destroyed the sorting machines and moved our mail over 100 miles away to be sorted.
This guy has been trying to destroy the postal service for his entire term he is a preview of trumps whole program.
Mail is getting stolen, postal employees offing themselves, and they can’t hire enough staff… this is what de joy is responsible for!!
Love Jon!
.......Sen. Jon Ossoff, Since POTUS Biden Selected Val Butler Demings and William Zollars To Complete The USPS Poster Governor Board Have The Senate Voted?... And Since The Clock Is Ticking The Postmaster General Position Need To Be In Place Before Biden Leave.... Robert Reich Could Be A Good Person to Consider?
Most of the BOG'S were appointed by 45 during his administration in 2017. 🤷♀️
Postmaster Generals USED TO BE people with POSTAL EXPERIENCE rather than corporate schmucks who donate to politicians. Wish Biden had the power to replace him before he & Dumpty privatize it for their own profit
Is this why i dont get mail on Mondays? I worked 37 years for the postal service , when I left it was 98% on time, its down to 75% under this failure of a Postmaster General.
Exactly! We know better.
This man is terrible at his job. If most Americans job performance were the same, we would have been fired after the first three months. He is a pathetic Postmaster.
Just an example of what's about to happen to the rest of our agencies and services.
That's what happens when unqualified
people don't know their jobs. Unfortunately, we all suffer!
His job is to destroy the post office. It's pretty obvious if one is paying attention.
Thanks for this post. Jon Ossoff is presently my #1 choice for 2028.
only problem with that is Marjorie Greene wants his Senate seated in 26
He is a failure!
My Mail Pharmacy USES UPS & FedEx only!
That’s exactly why he was placed there; de joy still has a hand in Fedex… he makes $ while making the usps fail. Conservative plan is always putting dips like de joy in place so they can point and say”Look! Government doesn’t work!!”
Two weeks to get a letter to KC from NE, used to take 3 DAYS to get to California
Watching Post Office Director Louis DeJoy's behavior testifying before
Congress yesterday was like watching an unruly kid being reprimanded..
When he covered up his ears with the palm of his hands as a sign that
he was not paying attention to what was the senators were asking, also
reminded me of kids misbehaving. Our Post Offices around the country
are being run by a incompetent kid. Indeed a pity to look at.
Every official seems to be doing a terrible job
The more I see from Sen. Ossoff, the more I like him.
7:10 It's been abysmal all over the damn country!
I used to ship small-medium packages via USPS 1st Class Pkg for very reasonable prices that would arrive to my customers within 2-3 days. DeJoy got rid of 1st Class Package and created "USPS Ground Advantage" that costs 3x more and takes 8-10 days to arrive to customers! That is HORRIBLE! I now have been using UPS at a lower rate and my customers are receiving their packages quicker than what USPS can deliver them.
I live in the middle of the county west of the Mississippi. Sent a package to a friend in Alabama. It went north of ne to Illinois and sat for almost a month before it was delivered. Why would it be routed north of my state before going south? That sounds stupid to me.
Yep from central Arizona a letter gets sent to CALIFORNIA before getting to its destination in Phoenix… one could drive it there and deliver it yourself faster if you have the time and gas money!!!
Get him John! You are so correct. Mail delivery especially , if it goes through Atlanta, is not going to be on time !!!
De Joy has been anything but a joy to the USPS. He needs to go. It's time to get the board together and let this failure go.
Isn’t he one of Trump’s picks from his 1st term?
So whatever percentage of the mail is being delivered, that’s the percentage of paycheck he gets. So if only 36% of the mail gets delivered that he only gets a paycheck of 36%. How do you like them apples
