The problem here is the mail. I mail roughly 100 boxes every morning, almost all via uSPS priority mail. In the past ( pre Covid), almost all delivered in 2-3 days. The last month, it has been 2-15 days, and most in the 10-15 days. Every Saturday morning I check online to see how many delivered for the week. It shows if they are in transit or delivered. I checked last Saturday and only 45 of 390 had been delivered at that point Saturday morning at 6am. Of course many were delivered that Saturday and the following Monday. The problem is most USPS priority mail packages are flown in commercial airlines, since so few flights are flying they have no room for them . So, don’t blame the vendor- Blame the post office. UPS is about normal as they move their own stuff on there own trucks. We provide tracking numbers on every order and you can track all of these packages online everyday if you want.
