Holy crap I sent out about 45 trades and still nobody has received anything am I the only one who is having this issue ????? Pleas tell me I'm not the only one.......

Funny you mention this. I have noticed that what I send out where I live gets to my trade partner before I receive any of theirs. It seems as if outgoing mail here gets out faster than incoming mail.

Same here.

Though, I still haven't received a trade that was sent out in early November and they got their cards four days later. I still haven't receiveded my end of the trade....

Postal service works in weird ways.

I have one I am watching that I sen out the cars the Monday after Thanksgiving and t still hasn't got there. Whereas the cards sent to me were sent the same day and I received them a week ago. Of course it is crossing the Canada / US border, but still a week between is alot.

I sent a package (non-trade) to Montana, Priority Mail, on 11/30.  It went to GUAM, then Hawaii, and is now in Montana (not at the recipient's house yet) after 12 days.

I am having problems with other types of mail being sent but not cards. I have a hard time getting a response for trade offers. Wish people would decline or accept. I'm looking to trade for Frank Thomas cards if anyone would like to move them. Thanks Dan

You're not alone, Shawn. It's only been a week since you mailed the card in our trade, so keep the faith. I had one trade where I mailed from California to Maryland in September and it still hasn't arrived and is presumed lost.

I received a bubble mailer trade on 12/7 that was mailed 10/15. The mail is definitely goofy! 

Noticeably slower for at least three weeks now here. I can handle it if it's seasonal!

I ordered a single 2021 Topps Gold SN card from a dealer on SportLots on November 9th. 4 days later I ordered a second card from him.  I received the second card in 4-5 days. I still haven't received the first one.  I messaged him and told him I'd wait until January 10 (when he said he mailed it) but I didn't think it was going to arrive.  
It's easy to knock and complain about the PO but really, at least for me, 99.5% of the time I receive my trades or orders. I just wish the people at the counter weren't so incredibly rude most of the time.  I try and have minimal contact and have tried 3 different locations near me with the same results.
Sidenote: I went in today to mail my Secret Santa bubble mailer and asked for a sheet of extra oz stamps. The clerk only had 10 total stamps. She said someone had come in earlier and bought all 60 sheets they had- thats 1200 total stamps!  
Happy Holidays to everyone!
