I don't know what experience you have with US Mail, but ours has been 
that it can take WEEKS for mail to get to its destination, or it can 
arrive in a few days. USPS managed to lose our CA tax return that we 
sent Priority or Certified; last we heard after three weeks was that it 
was in Minnesota on its way from Santa Cruz, CA to Sacramento, CA. Going 
on the fourth week, we mailed a duplicate return. No check was included 
with either mailing.

It's not at all uncommon for mail to take 4-5 days to get to its 
destination. And, as you may have heard, mail is handled both by humans 
and by machines. Both are well known to screw up.

Further, June 19 is a Federal holiday, thus a mail holiday, so mailing 
it on Monday is like mailing it on Tuesday, and most mail doesn't move 
beyond the local post office until that night.

IMO, there is FAR too much mistrust of our fellow man, and the blame 
gets spread between certain politicians, predatory media, and social 
media (what we used to call gossip when we were kids).
