I think we may be reacting a tad bit early, The rules say 14 days from the close (last day to send May 16th). We are just now 7 days from the last day to send. I know that my package was attempted on Friday and as of last night was still sitting at the post office.
I did see several say they sent after the cut-off and I am hopeful that they will do better next month. I expect we will see a lot of packages delivered early this week.
Thanks for the wonderful job Lori :)
