NOT EVEN WITH ENVELOPES! I mailed a check to a scholarship recipient for a program I work with on Wednesday June 5. I did NOT put it out at the house or drop it in the drive through box at the post office. I took it in and handed it to the clerk. As of yesterday (no mail today), 18 June, it has not been delivered. This is NOT going far, the distance between my post office and the recipient's house is less than 10 miles. If it has not been received by this Saturday (17 days after being mailed) I will have to stop payment and get another check from our treasurer. The kid needs the $2,500 to register for classes.

It isn't just packages. Simple birthday cards sent to my kids from Killeen, 7 days to Denton (a three hour drive) and 10 days to Kansas City. Cards to my Daughter in Bonn, Germany only take 7-10 days through the APO system.
