An ad hoc example but I can attest to this ... I ordered a Seymour Duncan La Brea set of pickups for a Fender Telecaster I am modding from a vendor in Georgia (150 miles away) on November 27th and I got them on 12/14.
Normally, I get orders from this vendor the next day ... this time 2 1/2 weeks.

As an addendum to my first reply ... I average getting 3 - 4 campaign mailings a day.
I wonder if the USPS has prioritized these political mailings?

Just a guess, but USPS probably has a legal obligation to take on volume in a way UPS and FedEx do not. So they're always going to be at the bottom whenever the 
rolls downhill. And diverted volume from other carriers is probably difficult to estimate and plan for. Especially when resources are more limited.

Maybe if they weren’t so busy ruining our democracy they would have time to fulfill their actual mission.

Since USPS has no service guarantees, with the exception of most Priority Mail, where’s the problem?

Imagine if we let vaccines spoil just to deliver corner shelves from Amazon.

That's why UPS and FedEx are carrying the COVID-19 vaccines.
