Hey Arelor..
I just got a notification that the international parcel has been delivered.
Don't you have private Netmail over there? I sent you one but I think you didn't get it.
Nevertheless, the pizzas arrived no problem. Also, I loved the extra toppings added to the pizza. I am nearly crying, stupid me :-)

Not too bad at 14 calendar days total.
Thanks to changes at my local post, it took 28 days for a letter to get across town, via certified mail.
Due to changes in mail routing, all mail (including local mail) needs
to go 35 miles away to a processing center instead of being processed locally. Then it needs to go back to the local center for sorting and delivery. All in the name of cost-cutting and efficiency.
Several of the changes being blamed on the current postmaster have actually been going on for years. What you describe in the second paragraph there happened to us 20+ years ago. That means if you have to post anything to ou state capital, it goes to one of two cities first, one of which is ~ 50 mile away. Local mail goes all the way to one of those two towns before coming back.

It sounds like the logistics agency I use for running my business. When you leave a parcel in their office, they always send it to Madrid and, from Madrid, to its final destination. This is stupid because it often means that a package supposed to go, say "north", is sent "south" first and then "north" later.

Our current postmaster general is in the process of being^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
fired. It couldn't happen fast enough, but we'll be
disgusted to hear the terms of his severance. Hopefully
they'll mail it to him.

I don't understand how that is even allowed to happen.
