I am a large volume seller on ebay we run 700+ auctions each week. We get 35-50 pieces of mail each day , but after the war started the mail is only 5-8 pieces per day. We are located in Vermont and have only Received mail from the East Cost. Is it me or is there A SCARE in the postal service we have not know about??

I received payments from Canada and Alaska this past week so there may just be a slow-up with the mail. I hope that is the case because I am awaiting payments from CA.

I mailed a Package to Ca. Priority ...5 mailing days ago and it still hasn't got there...so there is something going on with the postal service.Also my nice friendly mail man is stressing the anything fragile,perishable or POTENTIALITY HAZARDOUS(almost yelling the last part) ...Then he freaked out because the box was heavier on one end than the other(Questioned me ....why it's heavier on one end and not the other ,I answered because the produce is on the heavy end then stuffed with news paper to keep it from sliding around.)What is it ? Sheesh it a drill chuck...(laughing now) not a bomb ...it will be ok !! He finally calmed down after thinking about who was mailing the package.I think they must be on really high terrorist alert.I can't blame them though.I be afraid to work at the post office right now too

I've been sending packages all over the country via Priority Mail and according to delivery confirmation, they're arriving in the normal 2-4 day span. I haven't seen anything out of the ordinary.

I work for the postal service and there is a notice to be more careful now, but the reason the mail may be slower is that the airlines are canceling flights right and left. If the planes don't fly the mail goes by truck.

My packages from Canada to U.S., England etc are taking up to 6 weeks, I get messaged every day asking where packages are. Letter mail doesn't seem too bad. Anything in a package crossing the border right now will understandly be under close scrutiny, and take quite a bit longer. May help International buyers and sellers.
