I spoke to the USPS guy behind the counter to ask why my check for a transaction I did was in some "black hole" somewhere in the tracking history. He said to me the reason why is if one person in a warehouse or a facility gets a positive COVID test result, all of that person's co-workers get a 14 day stay at home isolation. The Nashua NH facility was down for like a month and all the mail was sent to the Springfield MA location thus increasing workload there causing huge delays. He also said the previous USPS Postmaster changed the logistics that some people are blaming this mess for. Even today, they are still delivering Christmas cards and the guaranteed service will not be honored for sometime. Even the Overnight service. The package / letter will get there but who knows when it will get there. He did say it may improve in March. It is a complete fiasco.
