A historic amount of packages and rising employee Covid-19 rates are causing significant backlogs at US Postal Service processing facilities before Christmas.

All the shopping and shipping Americans have done in the last few weeks has inundated the system with what the USPS says is a "historic volume" of mail and packages.
"The packages are up to the ceiling" in Philadelphia, local American Postal Workers Union president Nick Casselli told CNN. "I've been in postal for 35 years, I've never seen what I'm seeing."

If I have 2 send a package 100 miles, They are meeting me 1/2 way... SAFER

Still waiting on my logical one putter. It’s delayed In transit. Going on day 10 now since it was shipped “priority mail.”

    colej Me and Kelly are having no problems sending things back & forth up here. 2 or 3 days max.
    I'm having decent luck, so far, with packages getting delivered as stated....2-3 days Priority. Think I shipped to Steve in FL on Sat., and he got it on Mon..
    I do got problems right now with FedEx and UPS, with late deliveries....to me!

        They have been pretty sucky for me lately. I ordered some cinnamon chips through Amazon on November 23rd, they were shipped and accepted at a post office in Maryland, but they completely disappeared from tracking for 5+ weeks, and then miraculously scanned at our county's hub yesterday, they're supposedly going to be delivered today. Kelly mailed me a putter on the 17th, made it to Sioux Falls hub the same day, but disappeared off the face of the earth for almost two weeks, and it is also supposed to be delivered today. A blanket my wife made for the daughter of an old co-worker expecting her first baby took two weeks to go about 35 miles via Priority Mail. A few EBay items have come only a couple of days late.

        it’s a crap shoot with usps. There’s no rhyme or reason. I’m in Hamilton and Landon is in Mason. We are maybe 10 miles apart. I think Landon got his fairly quick?

            My neighbor in VA mailed us a few small items we forgot to bring down this trip. Got here in 2 days. Go figure..... .

              I haven't got it yet. Mine was delayed from the get go.

                  Par4QC I did just get a goody box from you though. Payton just brought it in. No sounds coming from the box, I'm afraid. 🥺😲

                      I just got a box also. 2 days from VA via UPS. Gotta open it. 😁

                      Jaysus, they got yellow grips! OMG. I'm blinded.

                        They didn't have ant problem at all getting out all those mail in ballots and receiving them.
