I'm convinced some are throwing things away. I have family in the midwest, from a city who made the news because of how backed up its USPS had become. Even intracity mail was taking 3 weeks to get delivered. The postmaster declined to respond. Magically, a week later, they claimed to be caught up and 'fixed.' I had two family members having sent me something in this time, and neither ever got delivered. I have informed delivery, and neither even showed up at my local PO. It's been over a month. They both resent, and both arrived within a few days.
