I see your problem right off Rick. The huge clue is that the mail had to cross the Sheepscot River on Rte 1 in Wiscasset, ME - probably the most prone to traffic tie-ups in the East.

Default Boomerang mail

A guy from Virginian sends me a check. After 10 days it comes back to him as undeliverable. He calls me up reads the spelling of my name, my complete address; everything is correct. He wire transfers the money. I have it the next day. Sad state of affairs over there at the USPS.

Default USPS Record

I may have the new record for delayed mail with the USPS. Art's in Hillsboro Missouri restores a Funken signed Pigeon grade for me. I send him a check on February 10th for the work. A month later I have to give them a credit card because the check never shows up. Today Art's returns the check, via US mail, to me that they just received in the last few days; A full six months after I sent it to them. Unbelievable!
