Has anyone else had huge delays with USPS lately? Packages that usually take 2-3 days have been taking 8-10 days, sometimes more. All my packages have been going through the Dallas, TX distribution center no matter where they're shipped from. Dallas is 1,765 miles from me, so I'm not sure why they keep going there and not Sacramento (40 miles) or at least San Francisco (130 miles.)

Usps is a joke ! Trump was right.
I agree, but let's not make this a political thread. I just want to see if anyone else is having the same issue as me and if anyone knows the cause.
Same. I’ve had a package stuck in Iowa for 6 days now
Same here with a package going to Michigan. It went to Dallas first, which is in the opposite direction.
"What is your lowest/best price?" is NOT an offer.

Maybe Labor Day sales have them backed up?
That makes sense. The packages going to Dallas has been going on since the end of August, so maybe it's where they process all the parcel post/ground advantage packages? I have had a few issues with priority mail as well, but most of the items sent have been with the cheapest shipping method via SLS.

Every time I order from Vanbase, it goes through the LA distribution center where it sits in purgatory for at least 7-10 days. By comparison, the NY distribution center usually takes 1-2 days. Might be a regional issue.

My international packages usually go to LA as well. but for some reason every single thing has been going through Dallas. I know USPS has three international shipping centers (LA, CHI, NY) but my guess is that Dallas is their hub for ground "disadvantage" packages. It's in the middle of the country so it makes some sort of sense, but it's a logistical nightmare. I just received a package from Illinois that I ordered on the 20th of August.

Highly recommend anyone using SLS go with the “use my own” label option. Priority also sucks but sucks way less than ground.

I ordered something from New York on the 12th, and this is the route it has taken so far: New York -> Sacramento -> Guam -> Folsom -> Los Angeles -> Sacramento -> Fresno -> Sacramento -> ?. I'm only 45 minutes from Sacramento or Folsom.
