It seems to depend on which postal hub an item is
shipped through.
A few days ago, I received an item that was shipped USPS 3-day priority
that spent 10 days in Las Vegas (point of origin). All in all, it took
about 2 weeks to reach me here in Oregon.
The USPS didn't say if the package was comped dinner or drinks for the
layover in LV.
Only comped lodging. With encouragement to extend free stay.
But, a detour to any casino will get the comped drinks.
I've had a few packages delayed here and there. Including one UPS
"SurePost" that was lost on the way across the street from a UPS hub to
USPS.
And, a refund on a package from Switzerland, with an explanation that he
could no longer ship to USA through DeutchPost. (A DVD including
"Sharktopus V Whalewolf" for "Shark weak" as the weakest premise of a
horror movie. Unless/until I can come up with a way to hack a capture of
Amazon Prime Video, the only copies are in Switzerland, either shipped
direct, or via UK.)
But, overall, MOST USPS sees to be doing unusually well!
