It happens when someone is appointed Postmaster over the entire thing even though he has never had any experience in the job he was given. NoJoy, DeJoy or whatever he calls himself, gets the job and the first thing he does is piss off the workers.
Yes, this is the busiest time of the year for the post office, for UPS, for FedEx and for every other delivery company. Add in all the people who are staying home and ordering everything that they see and are having that shipped. The news, whether on TV, radio, the newspapers or on-line sources are having articles every day now about the delays, sometimes over 2 weeks for 1st class mail.
If that package of seeds was put in the wrong bin at even one post office it can easily take several additional weeks to get to where it is supposed to be.
