I've got the USPS blues

Waiting on 4 USPS packages:

I was *supposed* to get the last item on Wednesday - what a lot of bunk: "Held at Post Office, At Customer Request"   It is some boards for kits, why would I delay delivery ?  I suspect they just forgot to deliver it and that was the closest excuse on the system ?  Note that I did get one piece of junk mail on Wednesday.

 

The first item (which was fulfilled by Amazon)  arrived on the Island Wednesday but the USPS doesn't deliver until the next day.  Wouldn't any other business deliver the same day ?  I realize it's the winter ferry schedule but still, it never used to be this way.

The Digikey item is also for a kit order - BTW, Digikey also baked in a extra day before sending the order: "unavoidable delay"

So I guess I shouldn't complain about the USPS delays if even Digikey now has feet of clay :(

Update: the Amazon package and the "held at customer request" package did show up:

 But 9:55a ?   I didn't check until after 11a as usual, weird.
