I sent a Christmas package to my daughter and son-in-law in Georgia (from NC) 3 weeks before Christmas. She got it in late March. And it was intact!

Sorry but I had to laugh. I sent a friend a Christmas card a couple of years ago and she got it in June. LOL

I sent my niece a B'day card with a $50 bill inside from downstate Illinois. It bounced around Chicago for about 3 months until I got it back with the return to sender stamp. This was before Covid. Actually I don't have much of a problem with the local post office. All my paper bills arrive on time. If I send a check, I drop it off at the main post office. I don't even remember the last time I had a missed payment because of a post office error..

Your daughter is waiting for a Birthday card for 14 days? My husband & I are still waiting for the Anniversary card our daughter sent us since this past November! Going on 7 months now....the card only had to travel about 40 miles from her house to ours. Honestly, we don’t expect the card to ever arrive at this point.

I am so disgusted with our local USPS. Last November, I mailed 4 bills. Took them to the local postal annex and hand delivered them to a worker. Come to find out those 4 bills never made it to their locations. It cost me, IF I remember correctly, $120 in stop check fees along with another $30 for a late payment. I was able to stop late payments on 3 out of 4 of the bills.

Yep, I am disgusted with our USPS and the so called “service” they provide. Our family is to the point of not mailing occasion cards [with cash in them]. We now just hold the cards until we see whoever the card is going to. Yes, the card may be late, due to differing work schedules, etc, but at least we know the person WILL get their card & cash!

As for our mail delivery....it leaves a lot to be desired these days. I have signed up to get e-mails on what mail is coming. Also signed up to let me know the mail has been delivered. Well, some days I get notification mail has been delivered, but it has not. Yes, it usually arrives the following day. USUALLY! It’s not unusual anymore to see a mail truck around here delivering mail on Sundays! I am guessing they are delivering the mail they didn’t get to during the week? Yep, they need to do something to fix USPS....and I hope they do it soon!
