[GeneralQuestions] Ordering on 2day mail weekend

this weekend is President's Day meaning USPS won't be delivering for 2 days.

is anyone holding back orders because of this? i mean, on the one hand, if they're running an interdiction it seems like a really good time to do it would be a 2-day weekend since it means they can cover a greater percentage of packages and have extra time to get warrants and recipient-local LE lined up without a suspicious delay in delivery

on the other hand, i mean, fucking really, catch rates for DNM stuff are so laughably low that even if they bump their odds by 3x it's not like that's still a very high risk, right?

No, it won't affect any type of interceptions. If a pack is packaged well and the contents hidden with any stealth at all, time in transit will not affect the product being caught.

The good thing though is that I think mail still moves on the holidays right? Its just the delivery that is affected. I know mail moves on Sundays even though they don't deliver (well, now they do on some packages I guess, amazon packs get delivered sunday). The way I look at it is that while I won't get it Monday, it'll probably come on Tuesday! Glass half full! lol. You'll still get it quicker than if you were to wait to order next week!

If I were in need of an order I would have done it yesterday or today. It gives the vendor extra time to get it packaged and in the mail Tuesday.

Mail does move like usual through holidays, but it's no riskier than Sundays. The only thing that happens ultimately is the next day the carrier will be later than normal due to having twice as much mail to deliver.

They don't take the day off to examine packages more closely. They have the same amount of incoming mail that went out on however many days prior.
