Yes, we are in NJ too. Hubby is always telling me “it’s one day from X”.
Last year in MD my daughter had some problems with stuff she ordered, but knowing her she may well have ordered at the very last minute.
I ordered a item from Amazon on Decemember 5th, and was told I would get it by the tenth. Nothing on the tenth, nothing on the eleventh. I got it today via the Postal Service. The “handoff” between Federal Express and the Postal Service was not very fast.
Glad they’re arriving quickly; I was surprised at first, but everything is coming quickly. Maybe the last week or so gets intense (if people waiting for their final pre-Christmas paychecks are waiting until the last minute). I’ve noticed that during the course of the year anything I ordered online has been arriving quickly, and warned others not to bother with the expedited shipping.
