Surprisingly, I had no shipping issues all of December, and to their credit I've only had 1 package lost ever shipping through USPS. But, I had 3 strange shipments recently. Nothing lost yet, but I ship quickly and like getting cards to the buyers fast.

The first one got there in 5 days (3,035 miles of travel distance) but was concerned when it was routed through Puerto Rico. Was a higher end card but buyer confirmed card arrived safe.

The 2nd one was going to OH but got routed though Denver (I believe other packages routed directly to OH), got stuck there for a week then was delivered the day after leaving CO. Again, confirmed the card arrived damage free. (8 days, 2,623 miles of travel)

This last one was going to CO. For some reason this got routed through Memphis, stayed a week then took 5 days to get to CO. Hopefully it gets there this month. (14 days and counting, total travel distance of 1,551 miles) Just strange these all happened with packages shipped within a week of each other. Not aware of any major weather issues that might explain it. Any one else have similar issues recently?

Its almost a yearly thing. January to March is usually full of these type things.
