I'm sure, you've heard that before, the US Postal Service Creed.
However, the Creed does not mention Cold, which apparently stops deliveries dead, even when its no longer -5F out and its now a balmy 19 degrees and sunny - practically t-shirt weather in Michigan.
Verily, the creed doth some more aspirational and not a code but more like guidelines.
I had a package ordered a couple weeks ago, properly and promptly shipped by the vendor in Texas on January 17, the same day as it was ordered even which is great service, and it was supposed to be delivered January 20.
It arrived on January 20 at the Pontiac, Michigan Regional Facility and has not moved an inch since. Tracking gives a deceptive message that it is "In Transit to next facility. Arriving Late."
No kidding USPS. No kidding it is arriving late, as the transit to next facility seems to be done by snails at best. There have been no updates as to the whereabouts of the package since January 24, so I;m beginning to doubt the veracity of the statement that it is "in transit" - unless that means put in a postal worker's pocket and taken in transit to their home.
Update: Finally arrived after sitting at the Pontiac "Distribution" Center office for 9 flipping days. Sheesh.

I remember doing a history project in college and the neighborhood we were researching had two mail deliveries a day, AM and afternoon. And then the postal union destroyed mail service.
The end..........
The postal system is an archaic beast that should have/would have died off if not for Democrats getting union dues from them......
