Hello Poster Pals!
Straight from the U.S. Postal Service Office of Inspector General facebook page.
In short, they admit that it has been terrible shipping with USPS since 2022 and it will get WORSE!

What We Did
Our objective was to assess the Postal Service’s First‑Class Mail and Priority Mail service performance since fiscal year (FY) 2022. The review looked broadly at service performance changes, trends, failure points, and causes.
What We Found
Challenges implementing major changes to the Postal Service network over the last few years has negatively impacted service performance. Despite lowering standards, the amount of First‑Class Mail and Priority Mail delivered on time decreased since FY 2022. The Postal Service is operating in a transitional state, with many additional changes still to be implemented. It is likely service will continue to be suppressed during this time, even with the Postal Service reducing its target for First‑Class Mail delivered on time by 4.5 percent in FY 2025.
So, my friends, simply put, if your Economy shipping estimate is 7-12 days, it could be 7-15 days. We still strongly recommend STANDARD or UPS shipping if you can't wait.
Thank you and happy shopping
