I live in Pittsburgh, PA. Ordering several times per month for years, since early February at least two have and will bypass Warendale for Indianapolis or Scranton dependant on where they originate. And that's odd because I've not encountered this beforehand. In fact, one was stuck at Indianapolis for nearly a month, scanned on three consecutive days at exactly 12:00 a.m. four days after being shipped from Illinois. So something is going on with the USPS.

@Ballyhoo, funny you should mention Indianapolis ... After a long string of no problems with USPS, I have a package that hit the Indianapolis USPS March 1, then an Indianapolis Regional Distribution Center March 8, and and has been "in transit" ever since.

Have you guys watched any of the videos on USPS Indianapolis? That facility is a complete train wreck. If your package gets routed through there, you are outta luck.

I will purposely hold envelopes for shipping over the weekend. Anything sent on Friday afternoon, Saturday, Sunday will get sent to Harrisburg, PA. I've had so many problems through there. Weekdays goes to the Lehigh Valley USPS center in Bethlehem, PA, which seems to run like clockwork. So the quality of facilities varies wildly across their network, even in close proximity.
