I think it's less about being random stuff coming through and more WHERE the mail is travelling through. Jersey City's hub has been extremely overwhelmed. I live in NYC and anything going through the JC hub has often just been sent out to other hubs all over the US to get processed, then eventually ends up back in JC and then to me. Watching the tracking on some of these packages has been crazy.It's odd. I usually have exceptional mail service. During this time about half to 2/3 of my packages have been delivered as normal (and quite quickly) and the others have languished for days. I know that's normal for some, but that never happened before COVID-19, so it's clear the system is overwhelmed and its just random what gets through unscathed.
I have gotten some things within 3 days of buying, others have taken 3 weeks and have travelled all over the US. It's less about the time and more about the increased possibility of damage that I'm worried about. But also...with working from home I also just get impatient even though I have more than enough to listen to hah
