Spunky,
Maybe the holiday season has put a glitch in shipping or slowed it down more than normal?? My favorite day to ship packages is Saturday, by far. If I take packages to the main hub here in town, they almost always get there on Monday. EXCEPT for the state of Texas. Either I've had extraordinarily bad luck or there is a black hole somewhere in TX that swallows packages!! <LOL> Monday shipping is not so reliable here - the packages MIGHT get there on Wed. or Thurs. but one shouldn't hold their breath. And I won't ship on W, Th, or FR.
Even first class mail can have strange glitches. When I used to tabulate the Awards ballots for AHS, it once took a 1st class envelope from Charlotte NC ( 3 hours away) 9 days to get here!! I could have driven down there and picked it up, for Pete's sake. There were cases of empty envelopes arriving opened with MIA ballots, once a ballot arrived with no envelope ( with an "apology note" from the PO no less) and it got to me because my name and address was on the ballot, presumably. There are definitely gremlins in the USPS!!
