You made it to Texas fairly quickly...but Texas appears to be a big state!

Looks like the package is like George Strait - Amarillo is the place it wants to be!

I confess that I'm a little nervous about the baby chicks I ordered. The earliest shipping date I could get was June 30... I just read that USPS is going to be slowing down shipping next month and the day before a holiday doesn't count as a shipping day.

The only reason I placed the order is because I had a credit there from last time, when my entire order arrived dead from the heat. Meanwhile I am still trying to find out what is going on with the house plans I ordered, which was supposed to arrive 2 weeks ago but is still "In transit, running late."

And how much money do you think USPS will have in that delivery when it finally arrives? They'll probably lose twice as much as they charged for that delivery, hence the 9.5 billion dollar loss last fiscal year.
This won't be a popular solution; yet they could make a dent in that by charging an annual fee for rural mailboxes. I find it odd that I pay 120$/year for a PO box, yet there is a rural box at the end of the PO parking lot which they get free delivery.

Do you know what the original RFD stood for?
Rural Free Delivery.

Do you know what the original RFD stood for?
Rural Free Delivery.
Yes, I know. We were on RFD 3, but that was a long time ago. Times change, and privatizing it will just make it worse.
Also likely more expensive.

Also, I don't need mail delivered on Saturday. Every few years the Post Office sends out a questionnaire about this. When I ask our local mail delivery person why our delivery is free they say it is because they can't guarantee the security of our mail at a rural box.
