Next election they will accept mail in ballots thirty days late instead of three.

Only time I ever had a damaged firearm was when it was shipped via USPS. Never had a problem with UPS or FedEx. I had that gun insured and the USPS fought me on that. As soon as the St. Louis office was contacted by our lawyer we received our insurance check.

My question is unless the signatory of your package travels with your package how secure is it? To me it is another revenue creating scheme by the P.O. When the china virus is history, this forum will still be reviewing the faults of the P.O. Personally, I would pay $1.00 for a 1st class letter for improved service from a private carrier who seem to deliver on time despite the virus.

I am waiting for check from VA that was mailed 12/11/2020. A fellow PGCA member in MS is waiting for a package that I mailed 12/14/2020.

The USPS service levels seem to be at an all time low. Reliance on government services is a slippery slope indeed.

The cookies we sent to Rock Hill, SC on 12/9 were delivered yesterday. A late X-mas gift. I hope USPS settles down now that the election is finally over.

Did the cookies arrive or was it a box of mold?

I spent 40 minutes in our PO two days ago in a long line of folks still picking up Xmas gift packages.

I'll repeat the first 2 paragraphs here for background, first one was posted on Tuesday Jan 5

So I just bought a cool double gun from a gent in the upper midwest and he shipped it on Monday Jan 4 by REGISTERED MAIL. If you're not familiar with Registered Mail, it's held in high security/locked cages etc and every person that handles the package must "sign" for it. From what I understand it can't be tracked as typical and kind of goes into limbo until delivered. Let's see how long it takes getting to PA.

UPDATE on Jan 8
Well, wonder of wonders, the gun was scanned twice on Monday and Tuesday as it traveled through two places in the north midwest and again this morning at about 1-am in Philadelphia. Getting close and way atypically fast for Registered Mail.

LAST UPDATE on Saturday Jan 9
Just a note that the gun was delivered this morning. 5 days in transit; that's significantly shorter than many had reported of their experiences with Registered Mail and with tracking scans along the way.

I bought three items on ebay on the evening of 3 January. Two were at my post office yesterday. I didn't check the mail on the 7th, so they could have been there earlier.
