Sad to hear some of this. The USPS around here is fortunately reliable 99% of the time. The holidays are just bad, though. It's like the local hub in Greensboro is not staffed to continue moving things on to their destination post offices during the holidays. My solution for the moment is simply not to buy or send anything (anymore) of consequence after Thanksgiving Day until after Christmas, and maybe even the new year.
This latest envelope which caused me to start this post finally arrived today, the Tuesday after the holiday when it was supposed to have been here last Thursday, the 21st. Greensboro sat on the package for about 86 hours, much as they had done with my SGC order in November. Finally, after the hoopla of the Saturday that was Christmas Eve was over, they moved it on to my local post office at 9 am on Christmas Day, where of course it sat until this morning. Nothing about that makes sense to me.
