Everything is taking longer, and some items spend up to a week at transfer points they used to clear in hours. The shipper who sends Siegfried the Chunkhund's medicine refills from Nebraska even sent an email warning us to shorten our order interval if we don't want to run out. Kaiser prescriptions from California take 2-3 days longer, but at least that is close to the delays the USPS website admits to. They had actually shown some improvement up until the pandemic, particularly in reference to the Informed Delivery notifications, but we have driven to Hilo to pick up items the website said were in the box or being held for delivery only to be told it wasn't so. I suppose this is to be expected considering the current situation, but it is frustrating. I'm just glad I don't depend on USPS for my livelihood.
