Guys this is across the board. USPS is having massive shipping delays and issues. As usual. But probably slightly slower then normal right now
They blame "Iran" war, and who knows. The increased Gasoline prices may cause them to do less deliveries. I don 't know. I am used to USPS being one of the biggest failures in our Nation. IT's govt run
But with sponsors please adjust and be patient. Give your packages more time to arrive.
I am seeing Priority packs being fastest with times being 3-4 days whereas it used to be 2 days. First class style packages take 5-10 business days right now, all day. You may get lucky and get yours on time, but if your pack is late, DO NOT EMAIL or PM sponsor immediately.
Give a few extra days guys. As a sponsor I can tell you there is nothing more annoying then someone not tracking their package themselves and complaining. Also only send 1 EMAIL to your sponsor when you do. Another way to irritate a sponsor is sending them 5 emails before they get to respond.
Most of ASF is gtg, so this is more meant for the newbies. Also never message a sponsor within 48 hours of them shipping to say the package is not there. Common sense to anyone who doesn't get this but I suspect 90% of ASF gets it bc 90% of ASF is awesome
Anyways have a great week. Oh yeah, Raws of anything if you can get them are massively delayed. Customs is searching over 90% of packs from what I am being told and sponsors in many cases won't send any raws at all right now.
