Good possibility. The USPS has come a long way from their old "Nothing stays them from their appointed rounds." EVERYTHING stays them!

That's only ever applied to mail carriers, the guy that actually comes to your house.
I'm in Baton Rouge, LA and yes, we delivered during hurricane Katrina and Rita until it got so bad that the mail truck was literally swaying on the road.
Also, we are GPS tracked real time. All day, every day and If a package is scanned, they know within 3 feet exactly where the scan was taken. Furthermore, we, the carriers are written up for anything under 99.8% delivery status be it a missed scan, incorrect delivery ect.
On the subject of privatization, we are already close to there now. For the last 7 years all new hires are "contract" carrier associates. If it goes into full affect you can kiss your carrier knowing the people on his route goodbye. Not to m3ntion mailing a letter for 48 fucking cents to anywhere in the country. Including all US territories.
It's very far from perfect but it's much better and more cost effective than the alternative.
Yes, I order all of my vape stuff thru the mail and bitch when something gets fucked up but the guy that brings it to your house, if he's not contract, actually does care. I love delivering vape juice and equipment to the ppl on my route. It makes me feel like Santa Claus every day.
Sorry for the rant, just wanted y'all to know that there are still some good guys trying to get your stuff to you.
Vape On.
I'm not a feather plucker or a feather plucker's son but I'll pluck a feathered pheasant until the feather plucker comes.
