I ordered a 3-pack of the "old" version of Kodak's P3200 from ultrafineonline through their etsy site.
It was suppose to be delivered friday. They're in Oxnard, CA and Im in Riverside, CA (roughly a 2 hour drive).
It's currently in Greensboro, NC 😑

Back in the late 80s , in the days of Kodachrome, it cost more to post the roll of film from Adelaide to Melbourne, 450 miles, than to post the same package from Adelaide to London in UK, about 10000 to 12000 miles. I could not work out why I was not allowed to pay for postage to London and they take it out of the mail in Melbourne where it probably went on the way.

So, it took the package a full 10 days to go from Los Angeles, to Greensboro, NC, BACK to Los Angeles, CA. (Was first shipped out on Jan 12th from LA just to arrive BACK in LA today today the 22nd) 😑😑😑

Every package I have sent or am awaiting to receive right now is listed as late/delayed with tracking updates having stopped days ago. Anyone else having issues?
I sent a package on DECEMBER 3 from CONNECTICUT to MASSACHUSETTS distance of 120m miles. I tracked it after a few days and it was in KANSAS CITY MO. I called my post office and was told that when SPRINGFIELD MASS. got backed up packages automatically went to KANSAS CITY. This makes no sense because there are distribution centers all over the east coast. It took 25 days to arrive at the destination.

The post office needs to license technology from OnTrac Delivery. I ordered light fixtures from Home Depot yesterday 2/11, today is 2/12 and the order page says they have already been delivered on Monday 2/15. (Will have been delivered?) While package time travel is awesome, I still have to wait for my timeline to catch up, so it's not too useful.

Going through Warrendale only added an extra day, my other two packages are arriving a day early, so I guess it's a wash.

I've had issues with the USPS for years. The worst example was my wife getting a default court judgement against her because they lost the summons and we didn't even know about it until 3 years later and too late to re-open the trial. Our latest package shipped from Missouri to Wisconsin, via Texas. Go figure that one out.

So I would just chock this up to business as usual for you, and try to avoid the USPS whenever possible.
I don't know spit about Wisconsin law, but in Virginia, it would be too late to move the court to reopen the case (two years), however, the judgment would be void for lack of in-personam jurisdiction - you could either file a new case in equity to set aside the verdict (which the court will like if you say in your pleading that all you're looking for is a new trial), or just wait until someone takes legal action to collect on the judgment - which gives you an opportunity to come in and attack the judgment for lack of jurisdiction. (Any judgment order entered when the court lacks jurisdiction is void, a nullity, meaningless.)

I just received my DECEMBER issues of three magazines which should have arrived in late October, and the January issues of two others which normally would be in my mailbox the first week of December. Also got another Christmas card postmarked the first week of December. I also had to look up and pay a utility bill online because I’ve never received the mailed copy.

Expect it to get slower and more expensive.

Postmaster General Louis DeJoy plans to lump all first-class mail into a single delivery category as part of his decade-long plan for the agency in a move that would slow the transit of such mail, The Washington Post reported Friday.

Citing two people briefed on his strategic plan for the US Postal Service, the paper reported that DeJoy has outlined getting rid of a type of two-day-delivery first class mail, which includes envelope-sized mail sent locally. All first-class mail would thus be sent in the three- to five-day range currently set for nonlocal mail, according to the Post.

A push to increase postal rates also is in the works, the paper reported.
