A lot of jokes on here about this being an improvement for USPS, or a distraction. The truth is that USPS performance has improved dramatically over the last two weeks. You just haven't heard about that because there is very little appetite for good news. See here: https://carriers.shipbob.com/#lp-pom-block-1909 https://carriers.shipbob.com/#lp-pom-block-1909 Our company (bottomless.com, YC W19) uses USPS to do real time delivery and keeps a very close eye on arrival times. Our own internal arrival time data has normalized considerably as well.

It is still worse than it was. Yesterday I got local mail that was mailed a week ago and most of the time my mailbox is empty. Their Informed Delivery service (where I can see what mail is being delivered to me) now says my address is not covered, when it worked for me 2 months ago (not sure when it was disabled, since recently I started worrying about lost mail). Before it all started, USPS actually operated really well, there were times I got packages faster than through UPS (don't really use FedEx). Actually you can see that from your site they were on average 2 days, when typically everyone was expecting 3 days.
