USPS service has suffered a rather severe degradation over the last several years.
For example It could now take up to a week to mail a letter from my office to the Library just across the river and only about 800 feet from my office window. The USPS has closed the Westport sorting center and all mail is sent to a somehow more centralized sorting center in Westchester County. New York. Then it is sent back to Westport for local delivery.

Before all this was done we could mail any envelope from anywhere in the state to anywhere else in state and it arrived the next day without fail every single time.

Now if something is mailed from my office in Westport to my home in Torrington, CT.... it seems that it first goes to the Westchester NY location and from there all the way to Springfield Massachusetts to be sorted again and finally sent to our local post office in Torrington, Connecticut.
