We ordered every .366 bullet in the 232 grain weight (for this cartridge I am developing "93Jimbo") from Grafs on Friday.
UPS delivered today. Friday to Monday UPS... +1 Grafs is 26 miles from me. I rarely ever order from them, just pick it up but they can get an order to me the very next day if I place it before noon. They're nice people too.

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

It seems to be highly variable with certain distribution centers being very problematic.

Authorized employment levels at USPS drop off after holidays. Employment is adjusted by area based on outgoing mail numbers. If you are sending to/from an area that has low levels of mail outbound, you're packages could sit at a trailer at a sorting center for awhile before being sorted. If it is NOVA bound shouldn't really face long delay. If rest of VA...
Hard to reform USPS because politicians have hand in EVERYTHING they do. I live 1/2 mile from tiny PO that has no business being open. There are two other post offices within 7 miles of me. Here in MI there are two postal districts for the state. I live within a mile of the district border. Detroit and Michigan. A legacy from when Detroit was the richest city in the US. This hasn't made sense for the last 40 years due to technology changes. Not to mention population changes in relation to postal districts are stuck in the 1950's.

Them barges from Outside are slow, plus Weather, Covid, IDGAS attitudes....
Local PO has help wanted signs up for the last few months.
Apparently incompetents willing to "work" are hard to come by.

Sent a check to a company in ME on the 27th of December. As of yesterday, still not there.
Sent a check to a company across town on December 23. Still hasn’t made it.
New rue at the company. Any vendor that uses “COVID” as an excuse gets automatically moved to the bottom of the list. Check arrived in ME today! Woot! what a bargain, that USPS......

FYI - Priority Mail EXPRESS postage is refundable, if not on time..... Just mailing out free pecans to a bunch of folks... by default there is $50 insurance on each of the 8 boxes. Cost about $180 as is... Express mail would have been about $1,400. My bitch isn't about the money or lost time/pecan harvest... it is about the breach of contract. If a man spent $180 on a package of meat in the store... and went home and it was rancid... that man would be raising Holy hell with Piggly Wiggly... Why the fugg does .GOV get a pass when they breach a contract?

Hey Cash! A big box of pecans just landed here. Mailing date of January 18th.
Thank you sir!
Do you folks like black walnuts?
We had a heavy crop this last fall. This next crop will probably be much less but there should be more than we can use.
I will send you some walnuts.

Cash, Also came home to a big box of pecans today.
Totally surprised me when I went to lift it off the porch, that's a lot of nuts, the two of you are so generous. Thank you so much!
Definitely will try the recipe.
Same mailing date as above, 10 days to Arizona, crazy!
