Granny Art (Shrimp) (Joni) in Elk: "@kristinHenry Question f..."

I still have some of my flag stickers left, so if folks want to participate in my #StickersAndStamps project, now's a great time to sign up. If you'd like one, mention my Minnesota flag sticker, and I'll include it in the envelope.

My tiny effort to put some art and joy out there.

Question for you. Are you noticing that packages are getting delivered in a much more timely fashion than letters?

Hmmm...I haven't been sending packages in a while, as no one has been shopping in my art shop :(

But when I do send packages, I use USPS Priority mail with tracking. And they tend to show up roughly on time.

Letter travel time is all over the board. I haven't don e analysis on more recent letters yet. But it seems like letters are taking longer in some places, especially international. But not always.

I had a letter from NY state take almost 2 weeks to get to me. It took four days to mail a package from here to that address and it sure as heck wasn't priority mail. But it did have tracking.
