Is USPS completely incompetent now?

Yes, Their delivery estimates now are completely out of touch with reality. Getting something that shows it'll be delivered by Tuesday?.. It'll show up on Saturday if you're lucky.
 
I no longer send brightly colored birthday cards in the mail. It haven't happened to me, but I've heard too many stories of gift cards being stolen and the letter never making it to the destination.

I use a large USPS flat rate priority envelope to mail it now. It's just the cost of doing business now.



This is frustrating. Happened to me, went to the USPS. The post master said he would look into it and call me back.

I doubt he could have done anything about it anyway, but still didn't call me back.



Had my burner card compromised online. IIRC, I was having difficulty making a payment on a website, there formatting was a little off and it wouldn't take the card unless I tried another browser. I thought it was on my end but the site was likely hacked.

Anyway, some dufus used the card to buy power tools at 2 in the morning when I couldn't see charge alert ping through my phone and the seller shipped them out before I could stop them in the morning. They used a burner email with my name on it and everything and couldn't stop UPS from delivering it and wouldn't disclose the delivery address to me.

Anyway, when you need a new CC, asking for express delivery will avoid USPS.



For many reasons, I keep my mail man buttered up really nice for Christmas. 💰💰💰
Hopefully you were still able to contest the CC charges! This is the reason 2FA was invented (although dedicated hackers could clone your phone too).
