Letter to the editor: Priority mail package takes long and slow route to Florida

The United States Postal Service should be congratulated on the outstanding job it performs this time of year. However, it is still interesting to see the routes some packages travel.

I mailed a two-day priority mail small package from the downtown Portland office to Tampa, Florida, at noon on Dec. 19.

On Dec. 20, it was at a Connecticut distribution station; on Dec. 21, it was in transit; on Dec. 22, it was at St. Petersburg, Florida; on Dec. 23, it was at Ybor City, Florida; and on Dec. 24, it was out for delivery.

Whew! There’s no telling what the delivery time frame would have been for regular mail!
