In the past, it has taken almost a week for an order to arrive. These days, two weeks would be reasonable. I think orders are filled centrally, not locally.

I'm hoping the increase in purchases is noticeable by our carriers.

Edit to add: Stamps arrived yesterday, just short of three weeks. Dragons are very cool.
Gonna place another order, and continue writing my reps, sens, and Speaker.

10. many places are apologizing for orders that may be coming later than usual

like Walgreen's

[Tanuki]

25. I ordered mine April 12 and they arrived yesterday.

7. I ordered stamps and prepaid postcards last week

I'll use the cards to sent messages to the WH and our illustrious Florida legislators.

[sprinkleeninow]

16. that's a great use! sock it to 'em!

[Cha]

15. Mahalo for your diligence on this, Sprink!

I'm with you.. I'm worried sick about this.. how do you think I get so much of my things out here are on Island?

From the US Post Office that's who!

Save Our Post Office!

[sprinkleeninow]

17. i love the USPS

we had a box from 2000 and i got another one close to me last year

yah, you have to go get the mail, but it's secure and if you have packages sent there, they won't disappear from your front door

Mahalo, Cha!

💛🌈💐🙏🆗️🐶🐱🏖🌞🌠

[Cha]

21. I do, too.. and I don't know how

many businesses will survive without getting their products through the mail! And, all those employees with their future retirement funds.

[brooklynite]

19. Slacktivism...

Buying a sheet of stamps isn't going to save the Post Office. Spend your money winning back the White House and Senate.

[sprinkleeninow]

20. i been doing that concurrently

[Cha]

22. You multi-tasker,

you!

[sprinkleeninow]

23. ah dint know I wuz capable 🤣

[sprinkleeninow]

24. Cha, check out the recent OP where a true moran holding a sign

to reopen 'Pennslvania'

ahaha.

sprink splitting sides 🤣

[Cha]

28. I will.. Thank you! I'm just on for a little bit

now.. I have to go to the bank bc I got hacked a little while ago and they're still investigating to see if I get my money back.

.. all this and hacked, too.

[sprinkleeninow]

29. i'm so sorry! it's crap when coupled with the s**tmess we find ourselves in

believing for easy/no stress going when resolving the bank issue

💛🙏

[Cha]

44. Mahalo, Sprink!

My big project was writing by hand a more detailed report of what happened.. it was complicated as a lot of things are... and I did that and took it to the bank. The bank guy made copies and sent it off to the person in charge.

So hopefully my work on this is almost done and they bust the hackers and I get my money back!

Mahalo.. it helps to have compassion for one's issues.💛💛💛

P.S. I passed the Post Office on my way to the local health store and was going in to ask them about possibility of them "shuttering" but they had a line.

I'll go back on Thursday to ask.

[sprinkleeninow]

46. Cha,

He po maluhia pomaikai.

A peaceful, blessed night. 🌠

[I cheated using the google. 😊]

[Cha]

47. No worries! AFAIC.. where would we be

without the Google!

Mahalo nui loa! Peace & Aloha!

[StarryNite]

26. Just ordered stamps.

Also filled out the survey and gave them all "10s"

[sprinkleeninow]

30. i missed seeing a survey. what happens when i do business in the middle of the nite 😴

[Gidney N Cloyd]

27. Has anybody looked into buying lots of stamps and donating them to charity?

Or is that counter productive?

[sprinkleeninow]

31. you mean then the charity wouldn't be contributing?

at this point i can't think straight anymore 🤔

[Gidney N Cloyd]

48. Yeah, maybe we'd just be cutting into their normal purchasing routine?

[sprinkleeninow]

49. just thought of if the USPS offers gift cards?

[highplainsdem]

35. I wanted to order a small scale for larger envelopes and small packages, but they don't have

anything other than a $73 scale that weighs up to 330 lbs.

https://store.usps.com/store/results?Ntt=scale&_requestid=1829882

Why wouldn't they carry smaller scales? Or are they sold out already?

[sprinkleeninow]

43. an entry on the google shows there may have been a 25lb. scale for a reasonable price

but not available anywhere; looks like
mb sold out

[Reader Rabbit]

36. Helped my mom order Earth Day Anniversary stamps today.

I'm going to order Sesame Street stamps tomorrow or Thursday.

[sprinkleeninow]
