Houston Mail Service Question

Hello all.

As a side gig I sell inexpensive items on EBay(<20$/item). EBay has an economy shipping service w/ VERY limited tracking(it will register when I print a label & when the item is delivered, nothing in between) for just such items.

A few months ago when the postal system was having problems I had items I shipped "disappear" for weeks(3-5) before suddenly being delivered. I though everything was resolved until recently. I am once again experiencing lengthy shipping delays.

I looked for new news articles, recent complaints on Reddit, w/o success. So I thought I would reach out to the public (you guys! 😉 ) and see if anyone else has been experiencing any issues.

Thank you!

PS – For anyone in Houston who was unaware of the severe issues we experienced a few months ago and is curious, here is a link to a Houston PBS article on the subject:
