To: Still Thinking
I bought something on Ebay on 12/3. Been scanned twice and moved about 45 miles in the twelve days. I hope it gets here before I’m retired.

Mailed three packages Priority 2-3 day from New Mexico on the 9th. One to Idaho, two to central California. On the 10th, the Idaho package made it to Salt Lake City, UT. On the 12th it was back in Albuquerque. Today is shows as having left Albuquerque. One package to CA just left Albuquerque yesterday evening. The other to CA left Sunday morning and reached Oakland yesterday.

I was about to hope that this was a Cleveland-area phenomenon. I had a 2-Day Priority Mail package take EIGHT days to go 120 miles from Cuyahoga Falls to me. Languished for DAYS in Akron, then DAYS more in Zanesville.

But now you show that it’s a nationwide problem.

Meanwhile stuff shipped to me by Amazon, (at steeply discounted rates!), doesn’t seem to be getting delayed at all. Is the Christmastime Amazon flood choking the whole system? Has USPS management chosen to make the public, despite paying full price postage, sit in the back of the bus?

On Monday I mailed three packages to grandkids in Maine. Gonna check tracking history every day until they get there.
