mail delivery during the holidays
Do you think with everyone sending out cards and gifts, it may take a bit longer to receive mail? I mailed a pretty expensive gift card at 7:30 am on Monday. It was sent from Nassau County to Central CT. The person still hasn't received it, and I am getting nervous that it was stolen.

My mail is taking longer. Someone mailed me a 5 inch stiff envelope as a 1st class package. Should have taken 2 days, it took 7.

Re: mail delivery during the holidays
YES! Much longer and to be honest, it's getting a little concerning to me.

I know I always have at least a bit of trouble with Amazon Prime at this time of the year.

Re: mail delivery during the holidays
I mailed two items, both priority mail to a destination that takes 2 days typically. Both took 8 days. Ridiculous!! But, all of my Amazon stuff that USPS delivers gets here within 2 days. I think the "regular" items are being throttled due to the Amazon stuff, and USPS not wanting to piss off Amazon.

mail delivery during the holidays
Post office said to expect about 5-7 days over normal expectations. They aren't even guaranteeing overnight because they are so busy. This is normal for the holidays.

I think they're not guaranteeing overnight delivery because they're incompetent, not because of the holidays, lol

Ugh! I need to overnight my sister Christmas PJs for her kids. Her DD got a stomach bug late last night and now we are not going to her house for Christmas Eve..... Fingers crossed that it gets there.

Re: mail delivery during the holidays
I received a priority package form Wisconsin today & it was shipped on 12/19. I don't think that is a particularly long time , but I thought priority was supposed to take 2 days.

Re: mail delivery during the holidays
Our girls were mailed cards at the same time. Dd1s came on Saturday. Dd2s didn't come until Thursday. It's a crap shoot.

Re: mail delivery during the holidays
I went to the post office today. No one was there on line. I was really surprised how empty it was. He said local mail would be delivered today and tomorrow. Then nothing until Tuesday.
