good afternoon ladies and gentlemen i just went to my PO and they are 2 weeks behind with mail so if you mailed me anything or other way around which i did today it will probably get to you by the end of the month love y'all 

It's not jsut Wilkes-Barre.  I was in the post office on Monday (picking up held mail), and the woman working the counter told another customer the same thing. This is a general problem with the post office right now, not a local one.

Edit: I'm in Spring Hill, TN (suburban Nashville)

Really strange with some of these.  I sent a card to Bldrprof on 12/15 and he still has not recieved it.  He sent mine on the same day and I got it on 12/19.

i'm just letting everybody that i currently have trades open with and some PIF as well know 

Oh, I understand, and I'm sure it's much appreciated by those with whom you're trading. I actually commented to let everyone know that this may be affecting trades all over the country.  If PA and TN are saying this to customers, you can bet the same thing is happening elsewhere, and a lot of people may not be aware of it.

Same or worse with the Raleigh, NC PO

I have trades coming and going since DEC 14th .... mail carrier says they are doing all they can. 

I was at my PO today sending 2 pwe he told me its a guess at to when it will arrive coming or going

I have a friend that sells on ebay. He said he mailed a pakage from PA to Los Angeles. He had tracking on it. The package was less than 7 miles from its destination then got sent to NJ before getting sent back to CA. It travelled over 5500 miles more than it needed to.

its everywhere.  i'm in philly.  i did a trade with someone recently that they sent two PWE for the same transaction.  one arrived a week later than the other.  Even the first was delayed enough that the sender reached out to me...

i have several paypal transactions where the tracking # has a date listed, but that is a joke.  I asked the mailman about a box i was expecting and he had a similar story about delays.

I just received a Christmas card today from my daughter. She mailed it on Nov. 27th  (post marked the 27th). She is 10 a minute drive from us (or less same town) and have been over to see us 5 times since she mailed it. (our weekly welfare check)
