I sent a priority package to MI on the 28th of July and it just left Denver last night, 10 days to make it less than a 1 hour drive. It should be interesting to see how long it takes to get to the recipient.
As someone who has a remote based business that relies on the USPS, I am not impressed with the recent changes to how our mail is moved.

Have you tracked it to see where it got hung up? The packages I send all over the country via first class seem to be moving normally.

I have had a number of priority packages delayed in transit by USPS in the last few weeks. They are definitely having some issues.

Shipping has been helter skelter ever since the virus hit our shores. Just more of the crazy times we're living in.
Then add in the fact that USPS has become a political hot potato and you have a real mess. It really doesn't matter what shipper you use now days because it will boil down to when you slip your package over the counter you've lost control of it in the big shipping crap game.

For the last 5 years the USPS has been hiring part time people with no benefits to replace full time people who have retired. They don't have any real loyalty or have to do a great job for a system that is based on a computer game management with no idea what the actual job is, pushing them for more more more. Add in having UPS and Fed-Ex doing a lot of the transport and USPS doing the final point of delivery. There are too many people looking at computers and asking for more data to look at to justify their job and not doing a thing to move the mail. It can and should be fixed buy it never will because there is too much money involved in keeping it running as it is. The USPS is supposed to be a universal service for all Americans It is not and shouldn't be a seperate buisness run by gov't employees who couldn't get or keep a job in the private sector.
