My package left New Jersey last night...maybe this morning I will see it in my mailbox.
12:05PM - NOPE, not today. I'm banking on tomorrow.

Part of the reason mail is delayed is directlly related to your location. If you are in a large city (like Atlanta in my case) your mail moves faster than when you are in the outskirts or suburbs. I live 23 miles northwest of Atlanta, so my mail goes from here to Atlanta before going to points afar. So its not just how far is it going, but where is the point of origin and where is the destination.

That being said, I have no clue why my package sat in Delaware for 3 days before moving out to New Jersey yesterday. Maybe that has to do with how often they have pickups from point A to point B??

Then again, I am trying to apply logic....

LOL

DE is the small state and where i live at we have three postoffices near me that i can go to i like going where i go all the time because the ladies in their know me and i did not have any problems at all when i mail all the packers at one time.

I can say for my self that i did mail them and i made sure you all had delivery confirmations so you all know that i did mail them all and you can keep track of your packages. We all had so bad time about are swaps and blocks that was not delivery. I have been in bussnisse to long not to know what to do. I know you all feel someway too how things was handle with the swaps. If it cost me 68.cent to get the delivery confirmations put on your package to make sure it get to the right home i will. Sarah

Sarah...I think your swap was handled with perfection and this points out why we should include delivery confirmation because then everyone knows where the blocks are at any given time. The mail service is different based on how the package is transported so having a tracking system keeps everyone in the loop. Thank-you so much for helping get swapping back on track!

No package today. I received a book via media mail that was shipped the day before Sarah shipped these blocks. I've lost my faith in the Post Office. NEVER have had this trouble before. OH well, the way this swap went what the heck did I expect.

I see others have not received theirs either. Maybe they are all stuck in the same place. Mine are still saying NJ

Kathy i just put the numbers in and your is in jacksonvill fl and carol is still in nj.

I did everyone same time once i hand them to postoffice it's out of my hands. There nothing i can do how they handle how the mail them. You have to write to them about how long it took them to mail to you.Sarah

Sarah I think it was smart to post the confirmation numbers. It is amazing how the crazy po system works...or doesn't work

Oh Sarah,
You are not to blame for the PO. Just strange how this is going. I never seen it before. Oh well, you don't worry. You did your part. It will get here when it does.
glad to see mine is in Fl. It is almost here! Must have changed since I checked this morning. Yeah!
Hugs, Kathy
