When I graduated high school I had to take civil service exam to even apply for a post office job. Nothing under a 85 was even considered for interview. Only the cream of the crop was acceptable. Now most of the workers are contract workers. The post master at our po said the new hires only have to pass a drug test and he hopes they can read at an 8th grade level.

I'm glad your gift arrived safely. You can follow the trail with the tracking number. I once mailed a package in Michigan to go to Massachusetts. It went to Texas first then meandered to Massachusetts. I think it went on vacation.

"Delayed in Transit" seems to be a new postal class! It happens way too often and they can't blame it on the weather. It's the same weather we have every winter. USPS service just keeps getting worse and more unreliable, yet they pay their workers a very high hourly wage for unskilled labor, and they raise their postal rates regularly. It's outrageous.

I sent a Christmas card with ck Dec. 12th. Come to find out I put 6 instead of 5 for the address which is across the street. I kept checking with the bank to see if someone cashed it. I got the card back Sat.. According to the sticker put on by the post office it was sent back Jan. 3rd. Who knows where it was for 2 mos.. My check was still there, and it the envelope didn't look like it had been opened.

I am glad you finally got notification that your quilt still exists. My story did not end quite so well -- after being marked delayed in transit it was finally declared to have been involved in an accident and nothing that was on the truck would be delivered (for whatever reason). But mine was not a handmade item.

My husband has done some online sales the last few years. He's had really good luck with priority mail. Occasionally, something like this happens and something is delayed. I don't think anything has ever been lost though.

Good News! I received a text update very early this morning from USPS saying the package arrived in the Phoenix distribution center last night at 7:38. What a relief. Was not given a new delivery date but my fears have vanished. Thanks for everyone's support and info!
