The Kearny, NJ mail hub has always been problematic. As part of my signed 1963 Fleer project, I sent off the Bob Gibson and Bill Mazeroski to a private signing a number of years ago. It literally spent a week leaving and returning to the Kearny sort facility before it was finally delivered two days past the deadline. Luckily, the company hosting the signing was gracious enough to get them in the signing or me.

I will say in my experience Greensboro's downfall is fairly recent. Back this summer and earlier, some of my First Class packages would actually show up the day before their estimate...

Garsh I have some serious cardboard stuck in limbo right now! In the general scheme of things it's no big deal, but I can confirm things are definitely quite bogged down on my end.

It's frustrating that flat parcel mail (Christmas cards) that are postmarked only a few days ago from far away can get here on time, but first class and priority packages cannot. Uh, can I trade a Christmas card for my baseball cards?

Well, I do get Christmas cards with baseball cards inside, so there's that option. LOL

They keep using that word. I do not think it means what they think it means.

Just notified by post office that my eBay auction win was just delivered. The thing is I live in NY and my package was delivered at mailbox to some location in Chicago. Don’t think COVID has anything to do with this.

Unbelievable. Hope it gets too you! I’m waiting for several items that have not moved for 2-weeks.

Murphy's Law being what it is, the packages I care least about are showing up more or less timely and the ones I care most about are taking the longest.

On the upside, an OPC hockey set I bought of a seller in Ontario arrived pretty quickly. There was never a delivery scan entered though.
