Mail delivery very slow
 
We have been waiting for a piece of mail for over 2 weeks from North Carolina..Is anyone else finding the mail delivery slow. We have not gotten any mail for 2 days..not even junk mail very strange.

Average mail from Michigan to TV is 3 days. Haven’t had any issues for eight years.

no issues...............the bills come very timely

No issues here. I would give the Post Office a call!

Something is definitely wrong, as I've never waited for more than week (from even Hawaii)...and you should contact USPS immediately.

Good luck.

It wasn't a complaint on the part of the OP - more like a worry. I'd start with the handler at the mail station. Sometimes they put mail in other people's boxes.

That also seems strange to me, but anything is possible.

And if the other person isn't in town, it sits there until they return.

OP, I recommend that you go to usps.com and sign up for Informed Delivery. With this service, you will receive an email that shows you the scanned image of each piece of mail before it arrives. For us, the scanning is done at the Lady Lake PO. If you had this service, you would at least know whether the piece of mail made it to Lady Lake.

Do you have I believe it’s called, Informed delivery? Every day you will receive an email picture of what’s to be delivered by USPS.
Is there a tracking number available? Frustrating to wait and not know where it is for sure.

Oops, just saw champion suggested the same. Really, it’s great!

I agree with the above 2 posters. I have USPS Informed Daily Delivery and every morning I get an email with what's supposed to be in my mail. Sometimes it's a day off, but in general you get to see what came in to the post office.

Appreciate your suggestions..will look into it. Thank you

I have found mail delivery in The Villages to be excellent. They never miss on a hold or forward. Mail delivery in Ohio is another story. I had to talk with the postmaster to get them to (finally) stop forwarding everything to Florida.

My husband’s Father’s Day card took 12 days to get here from Indiana, per the postmark.

We have much better service in Lake Deaton than we had in Maryland suburbs of DC.
