    Wouldn’t Bud’s ballot have been collected by the PO and delivered to a central location within the same county?

    Not sure exactly how it works, but Kex makes sense. Only the forum morons are arguing against next day mail delivery in the same county.

    Oh has the green light for name calling been turned on ?

    Have another bowl on me Bud. ,😤💨🤡

    The ballot never left the county. Anyone who tracks mail or packages would know that those rarely, if ever, spend more than 24 hours in the same county.
    • Mailed Thursday morning, 11 a.m.
    • Message received Friday morning that it had been received, and was on its way. 8 a.m.
    • Message received Friday evening that it had been delivered. 7 p.m.

    There’s nothing remotely nefarious in that timeline when it’s within the same county, and all that’s involved is scanning of the digital code on the outside of the ballot.

    That would be the most efficient post office I've ever heard of.

    Indeed. My post office....I can mail my water bill to my city that I live in, their offices are literally 6 blocks away and my post office is about 2 miles away. Takes 3 days solid.

    Agree all mail collection in my city is trucked 45min southeast. It takes a day to sort and a day back then delivered the next day. Right now I have a piece of mail with a tracking number that was received at my local post office and it has been sitting there for 4 days, it's first class mail with a tracking number. It didn't use to be that way.

    20yrs ago if I mailed a package to my son across town he would get it the next day. This is what happens with USPS "streamlined" the service for quicker turn around time. They streamlined it to a three day turn around.

    I work for the USPS. I have worked there for going on 27 years. I can verify how long it usually takes for items to be processed and delivered. We were give the leeway to delay 1st class mail for 3 days. I've seen letters taking as much as 7 days. The public has no clue what is going on here. No idea. The USPS is a suedo government agency. We are a cash cow. We lose money on paper. Every penny we make goes right to the treasury. There are a bunch of other issues that I can't get into online. There are still a bunch of dedicated people that work here. Unfortunately,most of them are just grunts like me. I will say this,GREED has destroyed this agency.

    They ain’t so bad. I had a Blue Jeans Cable order shipped via Priority mail in a box on August 24 from Seattle arrived in Virginia on August 26.

    Emlyn, you may wish to submit that for entry into the "Guineas Book of World Records" as that is most unusual.

    Although, it should be noted that a lot of things are taking flight from Seattle as fast as possible. Same phenomenon has been observed in nearby Portland, Oregon.
    Doubly so in California ! 😳

  • I received too me what was some important mail sent from Denver, Co postmarked 8.14.21 @ 4:00 pm and I received it 8.17.21. And being I fetch my mail every other day, for all I know it could have been delivered the day before.

    Oh, I live in Columbus, OH.

    All mail sent here goes to Harrisburg then dispersed from there. I could send a letter to my neighbor and it would take a minimum of 3 days to get there. Priority is different. That service costs extra and usually get delivered in the promised time frame. USPS really doesn't care about first class mail. It's a loser for them and personal experience says they really don't GARA about it.

    In the case of banks, the delay is intentional on the part of the bank, not the mail. Bill pay, for example usually requires 2 business days before they even mail a check. Some take even longer than that. During that time, they have your money.

    Did you miss the part where I said the payment was posted to her account the day after she mailed it. That’s the part that’s similar to Bud’s situation.

    Hmm,

    Mail is something good in SoCal.

    When I sent Netflix from San Diego to LA it was a day.

    If I order a prescription refill before noon I get it the next business day. That's and LA to San Diego.

    On the outside of my mail in ballot there is a barcode. That barcode is in the system assigned to me. When county ROV receives the envelopes it get scanned in quick.
    When I was a kid my parents told me to turn it down. Now I'm an adult and my kids tell me to turn it down.
