That meant that we could no longer use the free Priority Mail boxes provided by the US postal service, so additional packaging was purchased. This was at an increased, but not unsurmountable cost to us. So what did we do here at Amanda Hope Yarn to address the issues with the USPS? As soon as the December holiday season began, we assessed shipping options and chose to switch most packages that were one pound or more (4 skeins) to UPS, as soon as we noticed longer shipping times. Packages that normally arrived within 3 days of shipping from our studio in Texas took weeks, if they've arrived at all yet. On top of that, the northeastern US experienced a Category 4 winter storm mid December, right in the middle of peak Christmas shipping.
It has been reported that the US postal services volume is up 40% over the same time in 2019. In addition to the increased shipping volume due to Covid 19 pandemic, the United States Postal Service (USPS) is reportedly short staffed due to employees having Covid 19 or in quarantine due to exposure to Covid 19. Shipping small packages in December 2020 during a combined Christmas and Covid 19 season has been especially challenging.
