Important Shipping Notice

As the November elections are just weeks away please keep in mind that there are likely to be shipping delays due to both increased mail volume from ballots and slowed processing speed resulting from the mass layoffs and sorting facility closures last year. They thankfully put a stop to the falsifying delivery scans that from late summer 24 to summer of last year (and postmasters lost jobs over it) however earlier this year they changed rules so that acceptance scans are happening when packages reach the first processing center, rather than the post office where they were dropped off/picked up. This means that acceptance scans aren't happening until at least a day or two later, but I've seen them take over a week on the nights they pick up after hours and there's been a few international that didn't track at all until reaching the destination country. I've also had a handful that were returned for bogus reasons or returned unmarked, which I send back out.

​

I've also been alerted that USPS changed their shipments from Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam etc from planes to cargo boats, and they didn't even tell anyone. There can be pretty significant delays from this, not only from how long it takes to travel by sea but for customs having to process massive cargo ships of mail instead of the more frequent and smaller planes. So if you're ordering from one of these areas keep in mind that shipping times may be several weeks longer than what's stated by USPS as they haven't updated about this.

​

Please remember that I have no control over what happens after USPS picks up shipments. All packages are sent fully insured and I'm always happy to send out a replacement if the order doesn't make it.
