My daughter had a similar situation recently with USPS. She was waiting for neice’ s birthday gift. package got to her lcity and was rerouted to origin then back again. Took an extra 3 days.

I sure hope the daylily does well.

I ordered seed from a new to me vendor in Florida this February. After waiting a month for it to show up I cancelled the order. About 2 weeks later it showed up looking dried up and worthless. I read on the NGA forum that the post office distribution center in Atlanta is alive with incompetence - and - sure enough- Florida is in Atlanta's distribution zone....Maryl

Good show on your sale day! Your plants always look so good and healthy I am not surprised at the sellout! I think we all have rants about the post iffice. I have had packages showing them being sent to distribution centers in cities where they don’t have distribution centers-as in 30 miles from me-explain that!!

Congrats on your sellout at the herb fair! I have heard similar horror stores about daylilies being shipped through the Atlanta distribution center. My sister and I experienced our own postal nightmare with legal papers involving a small inheritance from our uncle in KY. The papers were sent to her first and then she mailed them to me to be signed and notarized. The envelope took 11 days to get from Kentucky to Indianapolis, and then six days to get from her to me. By the time the papers got back to the lawyer in Jackson, KY it was almost a whole month since he had mailed them.

Glad to see your sale went so good. Lots of work but it pays off.

Post office from the inside: I have 2 sons that work locally [neighboring town] as mail men. They are amazing at their job, good work ethic, fast, etc. However, many of their coworkers are lazy and don't even do the minimum. They sometimes don't deliver something since it would be inconvenient for them. Horrible. Their bosses are incompetent, they keep new workers that are on trial if they fear a lawsuit due to "diversity" issues and much more. One manager picks on the good carriers and ignores the bad ones, probably insecure in her job that she is terrible at. [she's been at half dozen post offices and has quite the awful reputation].

One carrier on the normal probation period when new, wrecked 3 times, had dozens of complaints a day every day, hid on route doing who knows what, etc. [one accident is enough to not get the job] yet they kept him and he got his own route. My one son who does rural is super fast so they dump stuff on him from all the incompetent others. Fortunately he will be finally getting his own route after 3 years. He can be done by noon or one pm [rural route carriers are paid by the route] so he will finally reap the rewards of his speed with accuracy and friendliness. The other son has a city route which is 8 hours a day. He was on his way to management after just a few years [fill in manager] and then he rejected it because the system is so broken. He will stay a carrier.

Happily our little town of Wilmore has an amazing post master and good carriers.

I had that last year with a "delivery" from USPS and you are right, it should be okay be it is infuriating, I agree. Your truck bed of lilies looks fabulous; no wonder they sold.
