camwynChecked on a few things via post office tracking links.
between the usual holiday surge, DeJoy's savaging of the system that still hasn't been properly undone, and COVID, the masks that I sent to Queens on the 14th arrived at the Boston distribution center on the 15th were marked 'in transit, arriving late', and have not been scanned since, so I don't know when they'll arrive or where they are, and I am sorry.
The mask I sent to Wisconsin on the 15th is still marked 'pre-shipment, USPS awaiting item', which is horse hockey, because I put that mask in my mailbox for pickup and it was picked up. While there have been teenagers nabbed by the police in this town for stealing people's packages this holiday season, that was in another part of town and my mailbox is inside the building vestibule anyway, so I don't think anyone would have walked in, taken a package out of the mailbox, and walked out, especially not when one of my neighbors has left a package much larger sitting on the floor below her mailbox for a fortnight and more. The mask was picked up and they didn't scan it so God only knows where in the postal system it is at this point.
The package I sent to Michigan on the 15th just made it to Springfield, MA yesterday.
I am not going to complain about priority mail moving at the speed of first class mail at best. I would just like it if they scanned their items a little better. Or gave us mail drop boxes that opened farther than a centimeter's crack- the nearest actual USPS drop box only opens that far on purpose, they altered the opening. Not sure why. Possibly because of the jackasses in Boston who were stealing mail from drop boxes with sticky objects on long strings, who got arrested this summer. Possibly someone was putting disgusting things in the nearby mailbox as a joke. I don't know. But I have to put outgoing items in my mailbox for the letter carrier to pick up and take back to the post office after they're done with their delivery rounds, and that's not efficient for anybody as far as I can tell.
Long story short, the USPS is overworked and DeJoy's fuckery hasn't been undone yet and if I ever meet him I will see if it genuinely is possible to give someone such a wedgie that their underpants waistband is pulled up over the top of their head.
