Yep. I've just now started researching SOPA and this is definitely a much more serious problem than I thought. The entire mail system seems to be falling to pieces. They started firing off employees on 9-11 which directly correlates to what we see in this thread. And allegedly mail is starting to move again but certain centers are only dispatching 10%, others are dispatching 40% etc.From what I understand about what I have read in the news, the strike has been ongoing, off and on since at least January. I don't think there is anything to get worried about as this is a highly rated vendor, although shipping will apparently take longer than usual. If your needs are more immediate it would probably be a good idea to have a backup plan.

When a postal strike is literally putting people out of business, that's as bad as it gets. However, the good news I see is SO MANY people are fed up that things can only improve from here on out. SOPA' CEO stop negotiating and is replacing employees. A lot of centers are working hard to get mail moving again. But the inevitable backlash of a strike of this magnitude will cause serious delays. If I knew how bad things were before I ordered I would have used another place. And in fact, that's what I'm gonna do right now. I'm gonna get an order out from my "Plan B" cause the package that was mailed 4 days ago may not be here for 2 months for all I know.
Nothing we can do but keep our fingers crossed. /default_sleep.png
