Yes.
Letters seem to take a few days longer than usual, as does Priority Mail.
As for Amazon, I think they’ve contracted with new shipping partners over the last few months. I’ve had the same experience with boxes tracked to a mainland facility, then no updates provided for weeks until it shows up in Honolulu. I even had a Priority Mail package finally arrive in Honolulu, only to take another week to get to Big Island. That could happen in the past with Media Rate, but never with regular mail.
Unfortunately I don’t have specific details about the change in handling at USPS, or Amazon’s partners. But it’s definitely not your imagination.
