The problems with the USPS now seem to extend beyond their distribution centers where some packages sat for weeks per their tracking system. Yesterday I had a package out for delivery. I was home for most of the day. The little white mail truck never showed up. People where I live are reporting the same, no usual mail delivery and sometimes for days. Yesterday a woman reported her mailman told her he was the only one in town making deliveries, this in a city of 30,000. Apparently many carriers are out of work for two weeks at a time due to having close contact with a person with Covid or they have the Covid. As you know this is and could be a serious problem, think of the people who get prescription meds via the mail and other important items. This is bad time to be mailing valuables or time sensitive items. If they want it I hope postal carriers get priority for a vaccine, a broken unreliable mail system has a lot of repercussions.
