It's the least wonderful time of the year...for USPS delivery

[ooo-ribay]

I had a package languish in my town for nine days before it got delivered. I theorized it was the “Media Mail” penalty.

Mine were all first class, which apparently translates to last class.

Cards were finally received on Dec 29th.


Here's one I'm currently waiting on:

What worries me is that it was last seen at the San Francisco "International Distribution Center". The package is going from Oregon to Texas, and according to the emails I got from USPS, it was supposed to be delivered to me on 21 Dec.

Interesting, I just sent one on a Saturday from Cleveland suburb and it was delivered to a Phoenix suburb on Monday. Must be lucky.

I am currently dealing with two of these situations. One of them mailed to me, and one I mailed to someone else. Both of them have been languishing somewhere out there for more than a week with the same "Your package will arrive later than expected, but is still on its way. It is currently in transit to the next facility."

Oooh...I just checked on the one that was sent to me. It was mailed on the 16th from Chicago to Lincoln, NE, but for some reason went to Memphis. It supposedly left Memphis today to the next facility. Should be interesting to see what facility that may be.

I sent a Priority mail package from Vermont to Charlottesville Virginia to my granddaughter that took 10 days to get there.I also sent a card 1st Class the same day that I sent the Priority Mail Package and it got there in 4 days.

Amazon bump. They get priority from the USPO as their items go on first for planes, trucks etc.
