USPS -- Slow Deliveries

[Texas Solo]

Well USPS found the problem.
I called the DeMoines PO where my pkg was stalled. They found that the folks in NY put my pkg in the wrong container, headed to DeMoines. Once there, DeMoines sat on it for 3 days before sending it to Montgomery Al. It's supposed to be out for delivery today (Saturday)
That's 11 days.

Waiting on a pkg I need ASAP.
Seems it made it half way, then reversed direction.
From ND to NY in route to Al.
Then from NY to IA. ???

Its probably gonna get worse over the next several weeks.

It's been "WORSE" here in Kentucky for several years.

USPS has gone to pot. 1) The credit card company mailed my new CC on August 3. Current location unknown. 2) My wife mailed a check in sept, to pay a credit card bill. Mailed from a St. Louis suburb to a St. Louis city PO Box, 20 miles away. Six weeks in transit and a $120 overdue charge. 3) My last Midway order shipped from Columbia, MO. It went to Chicago , then St. Louis distribution center, to Ballwin, Mo. PO , then to my house. That only took 5 days.
