Small towns are also a bit different. I used to live in a place where two towns and the surrounding area shared a post office which had one guy that worked there. I wonder what they did when he got sick.
There are a few post offices close to me actually, the town where I live is <400 but there are towns that big throughout this valley and they all have their own post office.Small towns are also a bit different.

Any sign of the box yet?There are a few post offices close to me actually, the town where I live is <400 but there are towns that big throughout this valley and they all have their own post office.
The crazy thing is it will be driven through my town to a place 4 hours away from here then split up there then sent back to my town's post office. It is pretty crazy. It adds at least a day. UPS had FedEx have distribution centers placed much more strategically so things take a few less days to get here. I really think USPS uses the same location as when mail workers rode horses in the Pony Express, they never moved when the population changed.
Not today, no luck. Tomorrow it will be a week so I'm hopeful it will be soon. I'm also checking the mail in the morning rather than the evening, so technically I just checked for Thursday's mail, not Friday's. Tomorrow I'm going to check 20 min before it closes so I'm be checking Friday's and Saturday's.
EDIT: Wow, I got the notification someone posted since I refreshed the page right as I was hitting post reply.
Sounds like how the mail works over there is a mystery too.Oddly enough, my mail comes more quickly generally since I've moved out of London, even though my major sorting office is in a different county to me these days. I can't really work out why.
If it was first class didn't you get a tracking number? It should be on the receipt.USPS 'First Class Mail'. It should have been there in a few days. Going on a week and a half now. Very frustrating, but I have no idea what I can do about it. It has my return address on it too and it hasn't come back. I sent it from a corner mailbox and shipping place - it was weighed & metered.

Here in a few hours I'm going to go check the mail so we'll see if it is here today. . .
Got It!!!! apparently what happened, or what I think happened, is they had a yellow slip indicating there was a package but we had two. My brother came for a visit and had to have something important mailed to him so he had it sent to my parent's P.O. Box so when he got his package the mail people didn't give him ALL the packages. That is what I think happened anyway, I'm pretty sure it was USPS's fault. . .
Anyway, haven't opened it yet, I need to get some sticky notes to stick over the address so I can open it up on camera and I'll do an 'unboxing' video. I'm getting a little better at editing video.
