mgrin A new record... 25 days to deliver a driver from Wisconsin to Michigan.
Not looking good for me. Waiting for a fairway wood to be delivered to Illinois from Michigan...only been 2.5 weeks so far. 
USPS sucks
Just shipped a putter from Lecanto, FL. It exited my post office 2 days ago.......got to Jacksonville this morning. It's a 2.5 hour drive. Shit.... ...
I ordered something from GW Monday. Tuesday it got Accepted at the Newark PO. Apparently it's still there.

Rickochet - they've changed routes and carriers in my hood so mail is now 'normally' delivered mid to late afternoon when it has been in my box by 10:00 daily, and usually at 9ish. Occasionally I'd see some suit and tie slowly following the carrier with I'm guessing a stopwatch and clipboard - an efficiency study, I presume.
I live on a small city park (3 city blocks x 1 block) ringed by approximately 30 homes. Before the changes, the carrier would deliver mail to those houses with packages first and then park his vehicle. He'd then walk around the park house by house. Now, the new carrier(s) are going to the door to deliver the mail to each abode, turn around, return to their vehicle, then drive the 75 yards +/- to the next address, rinse and repeat around the park.
I sense an intentional, silent work slowdown. The loss of the overtime has impacted paychecks and I'm theorizing the Service's employees (union) is hoping postal patrons flood Congress with complaints to get more funding, and fast. IMHO
Took a box to the P.O. late Wed. afternoon, 8/5, heading to FL.. It is now "out for delivery"!!!
But, on Monday, I sent 2 boxes to just across the border in WI via FedEx, and they took 2 days. Was supposed to be delivered the next day, but was held up by something they posted as "special exception", whatever the hell that meant.
On July 1st I sent out a flat box with two autographed pieces to an auction house in Phoenix from the western suburbs of Chicago by Priority mail two day delivery.
24 days later it still showed sitting here in Oswego where I dropped it off.
When I called they claimed that Phoenix was a hotspot and Covid had them down to bare bones workers and things were really slow.
I said, that is understandable, but the package is still showing 1300+ miles from Phoenix and your "slowdown".
They said, "Covid has far reaching implications" and that I couldn't pick up the package I shipped from my one-horse town over 3 weeks earlier nor put in a claim earlier than 30 days.
Yesterday, 36 days after shipping they called and said "good news, your package is heading in the right direction, it is in Indianapolis."
I asked her is she has a US Map nearby, she assured me that she did. I asked her to put me on speaker phone and to put a finger on Oswego Illinois and one finger on Indianapolis. Then.... kindly find Phoenix Arizona and tell me how the package that they have had for 36+ days is heading in the right direction when it went 3.5 hours southeast when it should be going WEST.
I ended up with a dialtone. hahaha

Hey, that thing on your desk that is ringing, is a phone.
Ordered a shaft from Golf Galaxy 2 days ago, shipped via FedEx from NC, and the box was delivered this a.m.. If you re-read that sentence, you will find it says 'box'.....there was no shaft in it, just a ton of brown packing paper. The box is a 9" triangle box(visualize that for a golf shaft 
) and had just a slip of tape holding it closed. Shaft could easily have slipped out when turned upside down, or a hand could just reach in and take it.
I contacted GG immediately, and another shaft is already on the way(or so they say), for Tues. delivery. We'll see.
My GW purchase still seems to be stuck at the Newark PO. I've put GW on the case. They ought to have some clout, if anyone does at the Newark PO.
Shipping 4 Wishon 771CSI irons to MN this morning. FedEx Home Delivery, printed label, boxed up 43"x4"x4", 6 lbs. $15. Dropping off in an hour. Bet they are there Tuesday/tomorrow maybe Wednesday at the latest. I will follow up.
Shipped a club Priority Mail on Thursday 8/6 to Southern California, 390 miles away. It's out for delivery today Monday 8/10.
My heads from Mattyv went from Arizona to California. I am east of Arizona. Going the wrong way folks.
candukid if they are going to canuckland, they'll go to an "international distribution center" first. The head I sent to @shokosugi went from Wisconsin to Miami to Canada. Used to be Chicago and then to Canada which makes a lot more sense! My package is moving along at a reasonable pace considering some of the other mentioned issues!
