So I've sold some plants here and on other forums over the past two weeks and have been receiving feedback from buyers when the packages arrived.
In the past, packages sent from CT all the way over to CA typically arrived in two days. Now I've been PM'ing with buyers who are saying it has taken three days in most cases, and one person in WI who didn't receive their package yet (as of Thursday 22nd) which was sent out on Monday (19th). It even took three days to ship from CT to MA in one case.
I know USPS is struggling and might not even exist in the near future, but it's too bad we are paying for "priority" service which has faltered as of late. It's also too bad cuz some delicate plants could struggle if in transit for longer than anticipated.
This isn't so much a complaint, but just a heads up to sellers who ship USPS priority (which is pretty much all of us). Things might not arrive as quickly as they did in the past.
Any others with similar experiences?
