In Transit


Last week a letter arrived for me. A letter that left New York on January 14th. As you can see, it arrived at the Mackinac Island Post Office on March 17th.  It took this lovely little thank you note 62 days to travel 612 miles. Really, 62 days? According to the USPS website, first class mail should arrived within five days. Our car insurance company has actually instructed customers not to send payments through the USPS due to issues like this.

Does your post office postmark all incoming mail or was that one a special case?

I have good service with the USPS for the most part. One Christmas package took over two months to arrive. That grandkid got a pair of $store socks for his stocking. What a year...

DawnsBoy, I'm sure she postmarked it just due to it taking soooooooo long. Our mail is not usually postmarked upon arrival.
