Yea absolutely. Taking 3 days rather than 2 like it usually does. Had 2 priority packs take 3 days in the last 10 days, which has never happened out of ~80 priority packs in the past

From now til Xmas will be a crawl.

Expect to add 1-3 days for domestic packs on top of the regular times.

Canada to USA, add 2-5 days for expedited, 1-3 days for Xpresspost

Confirmed. Sent a few first class and priority shipments at the same time. Priority got there a day later.

The same thing happens every year during this period through mid-January.  This is also the period carriers spend the most money refunding expedited postage.  There is simply a lot of mail in system and this is just the beginning.  I have seen plenty of Priority go as long as a week or so before making the destination as the season progresses and volume increases.
