USPS - Why is my package in DES MOINES, IA?
My package was sent from Phoenix, AZ 85014 to Carson City, NV 89701.
What in the world is it doing in DES MOINES, IA?
The expected delivery date was 9/12/12.
I purchased Delivery Confirmation. Today is the 14th and still no progress!
This lack of efficiency is highly ridiculous. No wonder why the USPS is broke!
I plan to use UPS and or FED EX in the future.

I sent a Huge Turkey Platter Priority Mail on the 7th from Nashville TN. to Murray KY.
That would be about 100 miles. The package was sent to Cincinnati Ohio, and then on to Des Moines. That 800 miles out of the way. Not moving and it is the 13th.
I'm sure even if I triple boxed it, it will not arrive intact after traveling 1800 miles. If it arrives at all. I have read so many complaints about that USPS distribution Center.I sent a Huge Turkey Platter Priority Mail on the 7th from Nashville TN. to Murray KY.

I understand this aggravation entirely. On Feb.
28, 2019 I sent a Priority Mail envelope from Canby, MN to Yankton, SD with a delivery date of Sat. March 2, 2019. Lo and behold it still has not arrived (today is Mar. 4, 2019).
It went from Canby, MN to Pittsburgh, PA, to Columbus, OH and then to Des Moines, IA, said it was in transit to destination at 9:02 pm on March 3, 2019 and then in transit again - 8:22 pm March 4, 2019 to Des Moines, IA. This is ridiculous, it is a little over 150 miles from my post office to Yankton, SD but it has travelled over 2000+ miles and still isn't there!!
I don't think anyone in the Postal department anywhere in the country has to be able to read. I will never send anything again from my local post office!!!!
It is brutally Clear that the USPS Post Master in Des Moines thing that cognitive skills are not required for the individuals they hire! It has been rumored that 1 or more of the Des Moines Sorters are, in fact, thieves and scammers who pilfer people mail for valuable!
I have watched the tracking on numerous packages being sent to me and they have either "disappeared" after hitting the Des Moines USPS Center or instead of being sent on to Cedar Falls they go on a cross country boondoggle that takes them to a dozen or more states to ultimately be "lost" and never seen again!
The Des Moines USPS Office has gone the way of Des Moines the City becoming a cesspool of crime, incompetence and PC Leftist BS Politics! It would be easy enough to analyze Courteous, Thoughtful, Determined and he goes out of his way to be helpful!

Iโm having the same issue. Mine also disappeared in Des Moines IA.
It was shipped from MI on Dec 17 2018 and tracking stopped on dec 23rd. It was suppose to arrive in Jax FL on the 24th. I have been on the phones for hours, been to the post office twice, I have filed a request for them to look into it. It is now Jan 4 2019 and itโs not where to be found.
No one can tell me anything and everyone at our local post office seems to be idiots. So frustrating.
I'm starting to believe that this whole Iowa place is a scam from usps. It is just another way of telling you your package is lost.
They make you think it is in Iowa. But who knows what happened to it
Having the same trouble my package is missing in Des Moines Iowa how in the world do you contact somebody to find out what going on
I just now asked the same question! Why on earth would a package sent to Los Angeles, CA.
from Phoenix, AZ.
need to go to Des Moines, IA.? WTF!
Apparently, USPS in Des Moines IA 50395 is where packages go to disappear. 87 year-old woman in NY waiting for medicine shipped 1/21/16.
It was in NY at least 3 times when the USPS in White Plains, NY decided to send it to Iowa.
Website still says it will be delivered by 1/27/16 even though it is now 2/4/16. Hasn't moved since 1/29/16
Same problem. Package has disappeared at the Des Moines IA 50395 post office.
Supposed to be delivered 4 days ago and nobody can tell me where it is.
Last thing on tracking is it is in Des Moines, IA. Customer "no service" at the 800 number says it is a 30 to 45 minute wait to speak with someone.
My package was supposed to be in CA by the 9th of Dec. Well it's now the 17th and nothing.
This is a Christmas gift that was on the way and now I have to figure something else to do because I can't could on it being here.

This is ridiculous! I have never waited so long for a package.
I was wondering why my package is taking so long they were just in Chicago now they in Des Moines IA I'm pissed off now.
Oh stop whining. If it REALLY mattered, you would've spent a bit more and went with a much better service.
But you didn't, because you place a greater importance on being cheap.
Really, it's time for your "duh" moment now....
Pardon my lack of French but u must be some kind of rich *** to suggest spending more money after already emptying out my wallet on a $130 purchased item! I beleive an estimated delivery date is still a delivery date, even in French.
not all of us are closely related to trees to be Coughing up paper like its good for the enviorment. its basically a contractual agreement to have it on ur door step by the date stated or before. no package? 24-48 hours later the alow you to file an inquiry, for a lost or expired package..
Its for a reason!!!
My package has been sitting there since 11/4/15! Today is the 9th and it hasn't moved.
What a chicken *** site!
I hate USPS!! Never deliver on time.
I'm trying to figure out if the drivers take 10 breaks every 3 hours. I have been waiting for my package and it should be in WA but it's still in IOWA!!
Did you ever get your package I am having he same problem
My package is out for delivery, but till now I haven't received it. What's wrong with the USPS worker who can't even do their work good.
I have tracking number and I know when is out for delivery and of course I am waiting for it. Wake up USPS someone is waiting for the package and don't just put delivered when it was not delivered!
My package left the facility nearly three weeks ago and there's still no update! What did you all do?
