I like ordering stuff online from eBay and independent websites (I avoid big names of possible) but i notice that everything goes through Erlanger KY before it leaves the country.
It's so inefficient. I have seen them ship back and forth across the country and it sometimes literally goes back directly to the same spot it was shipped partways through.
I see everything go through this hub regardless of where it's ordered. It always hits this place. Then it waits 12-24 days...... Without fail (shipped same day .... Doesn't matter it's hitting Erlanger.....I'm fucked)

So I have heard Conspiracies about post office being at the centre of control of the laws of the land. I was wondering how much is the USPS just a front for intelligence operations?
It's so poorly managed....it must be for that reason
If you talk to your delivery people's sometimes they tell you why. Like an semi had a flat, or whatever.
No this is consistent. I order from a bunch of places and things get shipped from all over. Two areas which are guaranteed to slow down and delay all shipments are that shipping place from Kentucky and from Florida. Both of those two states cannot ship well.
FedEx uses super hub Memphis. - hub and spoke could make little sense for an individual package, but it’s the most efficient way to minimize flights on a mass scale.
If USPS is an intelligence front, it is unrelated to this.
I just want to know why the damn shipping time has doubled.
Everything is weird lately. Too many oddities. Weather, clouds, shipment costs, delays, wastes, and forced shortages...fake war, cyber crime, spying, tracking, drones, spynet, and all manner of war crimes....
This world is about to erupt imo
This year is filled with too many issues - none of them are natural
Had a friend who was a trucker that said sometimes he would take shipments across the country only to have them unload everything, take inventory, and load him back up with the same shipment.
He wasn’t driving for ebay so I can’t speak to them specifically, but stupid stuff like this happens sometimes. Why? I have no idea. Maybe there’s a reason or maybe people are just stupid.
Keep digging if you want cause maybe there is something there, but your answer could be as simple as people being dumb and inefficient.
Pretty sure Erlanger is just EBay’s global shipping center. Any non-domestic package shipped through EBay has to go through there. It’s not a USPS issue.
So this is a seller decision? I get annoyed that they have the audacity to claim it speeds up. Also, I have seen some website do this too, so are they just shipping with eBay?
