[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 4740667, member: 110226"]Tracking deliveries now through the USPS is beginning to look more like reading passages from the Odyssey as letters and packages move with stately progress (at best) through the system. I have one first class letter, a coin from Israel, that is now nearly a month past the latest projected delivery date. It is currently moving from Sacramento to, I assume, San Jose. I've adjusted, I think, to the new normal with the postal service with feelings of resignation and leaving the outcome to the Fates. Now, I think items sent by Express Mail have a somewhat better chance of quicker delivery. I received three coins, again from Israel, within a week of mailing, through Express Mail. (Warning: If you have any items sent via the Israeli Postal Company, expect very long delays.) I'm afraid we are in for a protracted period of erratic mail service. I think the USPS employees are doing the best they can under the very difficult circumstances of pandemic, a severe fiscal problem, and changes to operation procedures that guarantee delivery delays.[/QUOTE]
