Maybe I’ve just been unlucky lately—postal delivery variance is clearly a thing.
But the U.S. Postal Service Priority Mail service which have been such a boon to my chipping journey has let me down twice recently.
Is this happening to others, or just a function of volume, like the occasional hand where you flop a set but the fish holds on to catch a gutshot on the river?
Before this month, I’d never had an outgoing USPS shipment or incoming delivery go astray. Packages arrived fast, in good shape, and at mostly reasonable prices.
(I also appreciate that USPS has lots and lots of free shipping materials to help keep overhead on sales and purchases down... And that PCFers have developed a whole culture of how to use them.)
By contrast, I’ve had plenty of non-chip nightmares with private services UPS and FedEx. UPS in particular really can suck.
So are others noticing a decline, or did I just run into a couple of coolers?
