 USPS has my Black Friday haul y'all. It went in and it never came out. At least half of it, okay? Half of it. USPS has half of my Black Friday haul. Tryna go natural. Hi guys, welcome back to my channel. Warm, warm. USPS has my Black Friday haul, so Yeah, I decided to come on and do this video one to let you know that half my stuff is stuck in the post office And two because I feel like maybe a lot of you guys are in that situation So I'm just gonna let you know what I tried, what I didn't try and what my suggestions are to deal with this whole mess. Basically between the different new policies at USPS, the kind of recent changes to handle election mail, the coronavirus and workers being out sick, and people buying more online. USPS has been backed up for me since the beginning of the month, basically. So anything that was sent to me from like December, the first week of December, on has just gotten stuck in the post office. It will arrive in my city. I can just drive over and get it pretty much. It's right there like 15 minutes away, but then it just stays there forever. I've had something there since I think December 14th and nothing. I actually filed a claim against USPS to investigate it. The supervisor was supposed to call me back on Saturday. Today is Wednesday, nothing. So they're ignoring claims. You can't even file a support complaint or claim. Like just forget it. There's pretty much nothing you can do. I ordered from one of the bigger like a clothing company using Root. So I was like, okay, I paid for my Root. Maybe I can do something with that. So I filed a claim with Root. They just sent me a copy of the order again through USPS. So guess what? The replacement is stuck too. So there's pretty much nothing you can do. Just be sympathetic, I guess, to the small business owners. So it's not their fault. Don't send them nasty emails. Don't give them bad reviews, especially because it's not their fault that the stuff is stuck at USPS. Like I understand if you really have to get a refund, do that. But if you can wait it out, I guess just try to wait it out. I'm in the same boat. I have no idea how long it's gonna be. Let me know if you guys are in the same situation. Like I said, I tried USPS claim. I tried a Root claim. Nothing worked. And I don't think anything's gonna work. Amazon is still shipping fine. They were smart enough and had the foresight enough to create their own shipping company by stopping Amazon. Like I'm not a huge Amazon fan just because big business doesn't get to be big business without being shady. So I can't really say buy stuff, but I'm gonna say that they're gonna be around for a long time. Amazon and the car approaches gonna be there after World War 3. Let's put it that way. Because they have a lot of foresight in terms of getting their own shipping company. So if you need to buy stuff really critical, I would suggest Amazon. Everything else, FedEx and UPS, they're gonna get delayed. I haven't really gotten anything from FedEx and UPS. I know they're also a little bit slower, but I think they're at least still moving. So definitely avoid USPS. At least I think for the rest of this month and next month at the least. And if you already have stuff stuck there, it's probably gonna be a month. Hopefully I guess before you get your stuff. It's really frustrating because a lot of small businesses only use USPS. When companies do have other shipping options, usually it's really expensive. So you're gonna pay like two or three times the amount to get it sent through FedEx or UPS. So it's not even really worth it in most cases. At least for me, it isn't worth it. So I mean already the small businesses are going through so much, I just feel really bad for them now. To have this hurting their business on top of it. Because I mean, I for one, I'm not gonna order anything until I know I can get it. So, oh my god, somebody do something, this is ridiculous. I want to say, FedEx, my little sisters help us. This is a freaking emergency, okay. But I mean, I don't feel like this is terrible. Like people can have perishable stuff. Like, I want to just reel and I want to be understanding at the same time. I know you guys on the same boat. Like, I just don't see how they can just let this slide. What about if you had perishable stuff? What about if you had critical medication in there? Like, bashing USPS would be like bashing Kanye. Like, it's not cool anymore because of his situation. But we know before this, he also sucked. So, I'm kind of frustrated because USPS has lost my packages before. I've gotten news and emails about stolen packages before. And I don't think that's the situation now. But I don't have that much goodwill with me personally to where I can really feel that good about the situation. I feel good towards the people I ordered from, but I don't feel that good towards USPS. Even though I don't blame them for this current situation 100%. They have some responsibility, some blame because this was all things that they could have predicted. But I'm not mad at the workers. Let's put it that way. Pretty much just coming on to let you guys know that most importantly, please leave my small businesses alone as best you can. And if you're a small business, I'm here. I'm patiently waiting for my packages. I don't blame you. And I do hope that things get moving. USPS hires more workers. Donald Trump steps in, I don't know. So that's it. Thanks for watching, Marant, I guess. And I hope this helps some of you if you were not aware of the situation. Now you're aware. If you have any ideas or solutions, suggestions, let me know. And let me know what you're going to do if you're going to try to wait it out when you think you might get your packages. If you have packages stuck. I know for me, she sent it stuck. Kaila Regina is about to be stuck. I am going to just do like a part one Black Friday haul with the stuff I got before. But the stuff I was like super excited to show you guys I can. So I'm really kind of down about that. But hopefully you can still have a good Black Friday haul part one video. I'm a best year person 2020 coming out soon as well. I do want to get that out to you guys. Thanks for watching. I'll see you in the next one. Bye.
