IDK how it could be a "regional" issue with USPS. After all the issues have happened when I've sent things through them all over the country. So I cannot point to a section of the country and say "nope won't use them here because they're bad here" They're awful all over
Not my experience.

Consider a package goes through many regions. If one region is incompetent and the package gets in the wrong basket it goes to the wrong city (direction), eventually gets discovered and redirected.

I posted an example a couple of weeks ago. Package began in NY and worked it's way to KC, then Olathe (that's 25 miles from me) but they sent it to Texas, then Indianapolis, then tell me it's lost and I won't receive it.

Not my experience.
IDK if you ship a lot for business or not. I do. I have a home KitchenAid Mixer repair business and I ship them all over. I've branched out some into higher end coffee grinders as well (mostly Baratza) as they're easier to get parts for and are built to be repaired rather than thrown away.
In any case I ship machines all over the country and USPS has cost me A LOT of $$$ due to their incompetent handling. I've not had one time UPS or FedEx has lost, damaged or stolen a package.
Perhaps that day may happen but right now it's USPS at least 5 costly issues maybe more. I can't afford to be refunding or losing expensive product due to that
