I love the postal service and it's about our only option because of where we are located, if it were not for them I would have to take everything to the big city. It just seems odd that I can mail Betty a package and it will arrive in California faster than I can receive one 500 miles from us. It may have something to do with the holidays, this is the only time I receive daylilies, and I do not ship until March or April. Thanks for all the input.
