Is USPS already slowing down from the approaching holiday?

I've noticed that on a few recent orders that the tracking updates have been slow. One package took 3 or 4 days to even show up in the system and at that point it had only been picked up and sent to the first facility.

Are things already starting to bog down because of the holidays?

Don't forget the slight rush from black friday and cyber monday online shoppers!

Yes, absolutely. I have a priority shipment from StrattonOakmont who ALWAYS always get it to my door in 2 business days, this time it took 4. I also had someone else's mail put in my mailbox by some temp employees.

It seems like it. Normally priority packages take 2 days to get to me and my last 2 orders have taken 3 and 4 days.

Pack from Canada to US in 8 days, everything is same as usual

Yeah the mailman is coming later in the day and the post office here keeping the lights on late looks like a lot of little elves working hard inside

I got two ordered that have taken a day/two days longer than usual.
