I have HAD it with the Post Office

I need to scream so please excuse me. YET again ( now the 5th time in a row ) Priority Mail has taken a week.

Last week I purchased duck eggs which were promptly shipped from South Carolina Priority Mail first thing Tuesday morning. I'm in Virginia. They arrived TODAY! Even my wonderful mail carrier has noticed this trend and said something about it to me today.

If it was once I'd let it go but for the past 8 weeks it's become a big problem. If it's mailed Monday via priority mail I get it Saturday if I'm lucky. Everything I have purchased has been very close to me on the East Coast.

So here's another worthless batch of eggs!

What in the world!?

Although, I worked at Yellowstone for awhile and the mail was slow as molasses there.

The only thing I can think of is maybe the packages aren't actually being shipped priority...
