I have a parcel from the @eff send towards me with USPS.

MY GOD IS #USPS BAD.

It entered the USPS facility on July 11th in San Francisco, CA.
Was send to Richmind, CA on the 12.
Returned to San Francisco, CA on the 15th.
Left San Francisco, CA 12 hrs later still on the 15th.
Arrived at the City of Industry, CA, still on the 15th.
Was send to Billings, MT on the 17th.
Returned to the City of Industry, CA on the 19th.

No explanation was offered for how the mail went missing for six days, and I forgot to ask.
Don't know if it would've ever been delivered if I hadn't said anything. 🤷

Apparently the #Trump #GOP administration has "improved" the "efficiency" of the #USPS Informed Delivery service by removing the ability to report mail-pieces that have not been received.
You previously could log in and find a mail-piece in the app and click "I did not receive this." That functionality is completely gone.
Informed Delivery told me I was supposed to receive four pieces of mail two days ago that still have not arrived.

Postal and delivery services are among the most exploited verticals in phishing scams. Our data show that USPS continues to be the most exploited delivery service, and DHL is a distant second. Canada is happy to not be the 51st US State but no doubt concerned to find its postal service #3 in the Hearts of Phishers. Oh! Canada!
