I'm sure that a lot of you are waiting on packages this time of year, so I thought I'd share my current frustrations.
I don't usually have to deal with USPS so I'm not sure if this is the way they normally send packages.

I'm not really concerned with the time it is taking but the locations they are sending this box seem super bizarre.

USPS is awful whenever possible just use fedex, ups is ok but they seriously mangle boxes sometimes and your box is coming from the states to canada during the holidays its always gonna take longer than usual. i got a box at 8pm the other day when i normally get packages in the morning

not to mention usps denies all insurance claims if items are damaged during shipping
fedex is much, much better.

Welcome to the gov't where they hire retards and provide great benefits, all paid for by the taxpayers while operating at a loss. Prime example of why big gov't should not exist, USPS would have been dead a long time ago.

How does that kind of routing even happen?

Welcome to the USPS which has been suffering budget cuts for the past 50 years due to a redirection of funds and the desire to privatize the mail industry, resulting in a piss poor system with a underfunded infrastructure about to go bankrupt with mailmen that make maybe 25K a year while under constant threat of layoffs.
And you somehow expect it to compete? At least be accurate as to why its really bad.

You're joking right?... How exactly are they privatizing the letter system? UPS and FedEx are where they are because of package delivery, not because of postcards and letter service. The gov't offers pension which no private company would ever guarantee. They do this because they have morals in the right place, but this is costing taxpayers money since they're losing money. http://business.time.com/2013/02/07/how-healthcare-expenses-cost-us-saturday-postal-delivery/
Now USPS wants to deliver packages at a competitive price. So, they are willing to charge $5-7, which is the same price as USP and FedEx, just to generate revenue. Thing is, USPS is losing money and is being funded by taxpayers to sustain their shitty business practice. Now UPS and FedEx will lose market share b/c somehow it's OK for the government to year-over-year keep USPS alive. It's a joke. http://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-mail-cutting-rates-to-win-e-commerce-business-1409850185
Also where are you getting your 25K number from? Please, http://www.glassdoor.com/Salary/US-Postal-Service-Salaries-E3032.htm, a city letter courier makes 55K a year.

You do realize when I say mail industry its an all compassing term like package delivery, which is the bulk of revenue streams for both the USPS and other private companies. You're just fighting over semantics to seem intelligent.
In addition the only reason the USPS is in the situation its in is because it has been constantly gutted over the past 50 years due to the prioritization of things like a military budget and a floundering social security system. It would be a perfectly good, modern system with very cheap/no cost to use if there had been any money at all put into the system, but was instead gutted allowing it to stagnate in the face of private services and now its frantically trying to pull itself up because people like not having to pay 10$ to mail a letter to your grandma or some other dumb amount which would be offered by services like UPS and such.
Finally a city mail courier makes 55k because they have to be able to live in the city, which often has much higher cost of living than say, oh, a rural area which averages around 35K, sorry the government has salaries that might actually let people live. Also I can assure you that most of those salaries listed are not what the majority of mailmen are making(most are likely making around 25-30K) and if you think they are out living big with their MASSIVE 55K salaries you're really dumb.
