USPS still struggling... friend in same state sent my wife a box, [View all]

priority, 8 days ago. It was part of a quilt my wife is making someone for Christmas. My wife looked up the tracking number...was supposed to arrive last Friday. It is still in transit!

I've asked people at the local post office. They are really struggling...loads of delays, loads of complaints...and prices are skyrocketing.

I mailed my daughter's gifts today at UPS, far less cost, should be there in 2 days

More DeJoy fallout???
