When I asked for extra insurance. Went all out on a very special memory to her. - I should have acted like they were brownies. What better way for employee to know a package valuable? Than to ask for insurance

...which I had sent out thru the local USPS facility, 3 weeks ago, was finally received by the intended recipient.

It was supposed to take a week.

Using the tracking number never said anything more than it was sent by me from my local Post Office.

I had been regretting that I did not insure the shipment for at least $500, guess I lucked out.

Maybe this is DeJoy's "I'm gonna slow down delivery" strategy, I guess that's where we're at.

Slow it down by diverting it to some way-out-of-place location, in order to complicate/slow down the delivery, thereby "proving" that the USPS is incompetent and should be privatized.

Call me a "conspiracy theorist" if you will, but, again, why is TFG's DeJoy still the Postmaster General?
