    This is old news. It's been going on for years.

    Hasn't slowed down between Nevada and Central Pennsylvania. 4 days Regular Mail.

    I seem to remember that the mail slows due to the holidays. So far service has been very good lately

    Well I must say that I’m getting mail in a timely manner. Just had 2 packages arrive couple days early. Anybody else?

    The only packages that am expecting is from the mint and so far there is still no sign of my 28th Sept. order of Uncirculated Coin Set 2021 reaching USPS even though label was created almost two weeks ago.

    Regular first class letter across country in four days, one of which was a Sunday.

    I just had an item delivered from CA to OH. Took three days-sent on 10-18 and arrived 10-20. Good service IMO.

    I'm waiting for 2 First Class packages. Final destination : Hawaii

    From Wisconcin 9 days wait. Should be delivered tomorrow.
    From N. Carolina 11 days. Still stuck in transit.
    Both pieces have gone through P.O. in Tennessee.

    Priority Mail is still good.

    It looks like I predicted. Some places still get mail on time or even earlier whereas other locations suffer and things get stuck along the route where they cut mail processing plants. You just have to get lucky and have things travel in the places where they don’t hit a slow area.

    I've had TWO packages go MIA since last week. I guess they weren't joking.

    Right now my shipments are either extremely fast or turtle slow. I had a 1st class package to Colorado + 1 to Florida make it in 2 days this week! Others seem to be in 4-5 day range with outliers at a week or so.

    I spoke too soon. Last I checked they over shot Colorado by1500 miles. East coast to west coast. Oops 😬 That’s my Ron Landis order. Dang it 🙀. Ok almost east coast. Charming Arkansas. Still not a good look

    Mailed flat rate PRIORITY envelope to my son from Chelmsford, MA to Clarksville, TN on 7 September. It arrived in his mailbox on 17 October.

    When I queried the USPS as to why PRIORITY mail took so long their attitude was, "Well, sometimes that happens. You can go online, fill out a claim, and have your postage refunded to you."

    USPS is pathetic.

    Shipped a coin (NYC) ... 3 day priority on Oct 14 to FLA. Expected Oct 18.

    Tracking showed the coin did not move out of my PO by Oct 19. The DE was uninsured due to my error. I opened a couple of Package research cases. The coin was delivered to the buyer in FLA on Oct 21.

    A second DE was delivered to the PO on OCT 18 (registered). The buyer in Michigan had the coin by Oct 20.

    Go figure ?
