Has anyone noticed an uptick in lost books? I have been a member here for 7 years and have had more than 1000 transactions. I think in the last 3 months I have had 4 books get lost. 2 coming and 2 going. I think only one was lost before that time.

i took books to the post office in the last week of march and all four shipments i sent out on the same day went missing. found out they were misdirected. the post office is blaming the crisis for this. those missing shipments have finally been found and are now back on track to their destinations.

 everything  else i have sent out since seems to be delayed in getting to it's destinations.  it's arrives just not on time. 

a lot of the books that are on their way to me also seem to be arriving late. 

i'm hoping this is just because of the co-vid 19 crisis and that shipping will return to normal when this crisis is over.

There are huge delays.  I have DC numbers I’ve been tracking since December and the packages don’t show any movement. I hope delays will eventually return to normal after Covid crisis has ended.

I got one a couple days ago that I thought I was never going to see, so here's hoping.
