Big mail day! My #LitsyFoundFamilySwap is on its way to Puerto Rico, due to be delivered on Friday. @KateReadsYA @Gissy

My #NaturaLitsySpringSwap cards are in the mail. I hope they arrive timely but I wouldn‘t hold my breath. Things seem to be arriving later and later in my world. I did receive my first lovely card from @dabbe today but I also received a Valentines card mailed 2/10 from @catiewithac . Come on USPS do better. @TheBookHippie

KateReadsYA Thank you for the update :) 9mo
TheBookHippie Mine has been slow as well! 😵‍💫 9mo
KadaGul @Deblovestoread My relationship with USPS is a true love-hate saga. There have been times when they've lost my mail, sent it to the wrong address, or delivered it at their convenience. Yet, amidst the frustrations, there's a silver lining – their media mail service. It's been a lifesaver for mailing out books for my Little Free Library without breaking my bank 🏦, albeit just my back.#USPS 9mo
dabbe 💚💙💚 9mo
TieDyeDude Our Alaska post office told me that last year, when USPS did an audit, mail trucks were intentionally delayed to make it seem like they were less busy so they could cut funding. I don't know why the freakin' post office has become a partisan issue 🤦 9mo

I stopped at the Post Office this morning to mail my #LitsyLoveWinterSwap I used the kiosk to print not only my mailing label, but also printed stamps. I skipped the line that was already out the door at 8:10am. Kind of proud of myself for trying something new☺️

Bookgoil Oh!!! Those are the stamps that print? I may try that next time! 3y
tracey38 I have never been able to get holiday stamps to print during the holidays at the kiosks. Nice! 3y

Ran to the central post office hub by work at lunch to get my #FFFS #FallingForFallSwap box out today. This slightly over-stuffed (the top is not quite flat), taped up to high Heaven for reinforcement flat rate box will be winging its way to the mainland mid-west to a very special Litten. It should arrive by Monday. 🙏🏼🤞🏼🍀it gets there safely & in one piece. Then I grabbed a poke bento for lunch as my reward for being right at the deadline.😉

After only about 40 minutes in line (thought it would be more as the mainland deadline for arrival by Christmas is 12/15 & everybody is mailing stuff out) I sent out my final swap boxes out today for #jolabokaflodswap & #bestof2020swap & they will be winging their way toward the Eastern US. Both are scheduled to arrive on Wednesday 12/16 so 🙏🏼🤞🏼🤗here‘s hoping they arrive safely. I did not take a pretty picture of them first. 🤣

Stood in line at the post office bright and early this morning to send off my #JolabokaflodSwap package and a gift exchange package for my #LGPOG group. ‘Tis the season for making friends in the post office line. 😂

I was so busy chatting that I failed to take a picture, because that‘s just who I am as a human. 😬

Izai.Amorim This experience won't be understood by people in about one generation. "What's a post office, mom?" Postcards, payphones, fax machines, short wave radios, pagers, landline phones.... All gone! 5y

I really wanted to send all of these out by the end of March, but Saturday was prom/after prom, and as we all know, there‘s no post on Sundays. 🦉

Soooo... packages are on their way to @arubabookwoman (your #LMPBC Round 4 book is coming home), @Theshadedbuffalo (your next book for #ReadersGonnaRead), and @EclecticBookLover (my book for #LMPBC Round 5). 😃

cathysaid I‘m so very glad you sent your #LMPBC book out as late as I did. And by god, I learned my lesson as the post office is NOT the place you want to be on the last day of the month. 😱 6y
sprainedbrain @cathysaid or on the first! Omg what a line. 6y
cathysaid @sprainedbrain Right?!?!? I seriously thought about getting on Amazon and having the book sent!!! And what are people doing at the post office on the first and last days of the month??? It‘s not like it‘s a bank. Or the line for the lottery. Geez 🙄 6y
sprainedbrain @cathysaid surely they aren‘t ALL in multiple postal book clubs. 😂 6y
cathysaid @sprainedbrain 😂😂😂 Not the line I was in!!! 🙄 6y

And some will go out tomorrow and then I will be all finished! My #ChristmasCrossStitchOrnamentExchange box is going out today too @vkois88 !!! It‘s the most wonderful time of the year! 🎄☃️❄️📚❤️

The post says my package was delivered. I know my Secret 🎅 match lives fairly rural, so I hope she gets it soon from the post office. #secretsantagoespostal.

I'm a little worried that she hasn't posted anything in a few weeks as she is a fairly regular Litten. My #halloweengoespostal match never posted her opening and seems to have left Litsy, which made me sad 😥. Half the joy is corresponding with your match after you open!

TrishB Hope s/he posts soon. 7y
silentrequiem Hope they pay soon. The same thing happened with my Halloween swapner. 😣 7y

AndreaReads @kspenmoll I know.. 🤦🏼‍♀️ This was the book that was supposed to be to the next person by the 23rd and I STILL couldn't get it out on time. And it's not because I need all that time to read the books, I'm just a lazy butt who doesn't want to drive the extra two miles to our very quaint post office. But I am determined to get the next book out BEFORE the due date! 😜 7y

I've been fighting off another illness so I slept in this morning...and woke up to find out that my father had dropped off my packages without me! 😭😭😭😭 so here is a newly made bitmoji instead. But I have a receipt so the packages for #HalloweenGoesPostal and #AllHallowsReadBookExchange will be arriving on Thursday! 🤗 enjoy the antici........pation!
